    3.Put the slide show gadget on your desktop.

    4.Point the gadget to the folder you created in Step 2.

    5.Enjoy

    Steve.

    Sorry, but I don't get it -- other than the meter/feet column. What are 1 and 2 here, for example?

            1      (>10)

    15    2

          (>37)

    The meter is broken up into 10 parts if you were to use the putter pal, and 5 lines on a 15 ft scale on tourney greens would go 9 feet etc ......

    Lots of people can do this in their heads, some cant.

    Filesonic doesn't work anymore because of the govt. busting Megaupload I guess. Filesonic is scared and only the uploader can login and download it. So for any of you wanting this, Slillico will have to upload it to Rapidshare or some other area or link to another place where it can be attained.

     

    However, as was posted on another thread here is a link to an online ruler.

    https://sites.google.com/site/rulerhelp/

    Select the middle option, or 'Portable Version'. Once you unzip it, click in the folder and copy the execute file to your desktop for easy access. Now, what I did, which contradicts what I put in another thread if you read it, is a different measurement to be explained in a minute.

    Here are the steps for making a custom ruler for putting.

    1) Open the ruler.

    2) Shrink it down. To shrink it down, move cursor over to left edge until you see the arrows. (First line it up by left click dragging it right underneath the swing distance meter so you know how much to shrink it.) Now shrink it to the right until it is basically the same width as the swing meter.

    3) Change the unit of measurement. After shrinking it to fit, right click on the ruler and select 'Options.' Then select the second option, or 'Calibrate.' This will bring up units of measurement. Select 'Centimeters.'

    4) Adjust the distance between centimeters. Now this will sound weird but follow to finalize. Just below the units of measurement, percentage and pica, there are left and right arrows. (We're still looking at the options screen, not the ruler itself). If you click the Right Arrow, I believe a few times, you can change the ruler so that it only lists 10 centimeters. (The distance between centimeters is not actual centimeters anymore, but larger, but for the purpose of what we're doing, you only have 10 equal measurements on the ruler at this point) You may have to play with the arrows either right or left until you only have 10 (TEN) equal measurements on the ruler at this point.

     

    Do you see what I did there on the ruler? I'm sure most of you see what the point of this was. It gives you 10 exactly equal measurements so that when you putt, each "centimeter" numbered measurement is equal to 10% of the total power of the putter you have selected (15,25,30,50,60,100, etc.).

     

    One caveat to this is that it really only works on putters because when you have other clubs selected, the swing meter gets a bit longer and it'll be off. I think it's because the putter gives you that option to change distances from 25 to 50 etc. and in essence, shortens the meter down. However, this ruler is for putting. 

     

    The best part is once you have it sized, it should stay that way even if you close the ruler out. That way you just open up the ruler from your desktop and Oila!, you've got your putter helper. You would just have to move it where you want it underneath your swing meter on putts. 

     

    Let me know if any of this is confusing. I realize that sometimes, the best way is to do it yourself before you go, "Ah. I see" and then understand what I'm saying and how to do it. Good luck all. Good shooting.
