    Recently been using Pinhunter trouble-free with the exception of a square block chart (to the right of the wind direction circle) that allows for tweaking our shots. I'm a bit confused on the directions given & how to use the distance factor in this chart & then how to apply it to our initial results.

    For discussion purposes  use 139 yds from tee to pin, 70 feet down elevation, with a 20 mph wind blowing TOWARD the 8 o'clock position. Results will show a Wind Offset of 32.5 yds & a Shot Distance of 115.7 yds. After this, how does one fine-tune (tweak) these results using this chart? Any help is appreciated.

    Adjusting Wind Offset :

    To adjust the wind offset for a wind direction of 9 o'clock , locate that value in the wind direction column . Click on the cell immediately to the right of that , and then go up to the formula bar . The 100 value in the formula is the one to be adjusted, try going up or down by 5-10 to start with. Increasing it will reduce the wind offset yardage and decreasing it will increase the yardage.

    In some of the wind direction formulas, this divisor is 200, but the method used to tweak the wind offset yardage is the same.


    Tweaking Adjusted Distance :

    To tweak the shot distance for a wind direction of 9 o'clock , again locate that value in the wind direction column , and go to the cell in the distance factor column on the same row . Change the value in that cell to adjust the adjusted distance yardage. The value in the cell only needs to be adjusted in small amounts, adding or subtracting 0.001 from the current value in the cell should only change the adjusted distance by one or two yards, but this will vary depending on the wind direction value for the current shot.

    Thanks again Scott. Your detailed explanation is exactly what I was looking for. Am now able to navigate Pinhunter without difficulty & plan to concentrate heavily on drastically improving my putting game as part of this. Thx for the screenshots & instructions. Slimjym
