Putter Pal Stroke Saver

  Good day guys;

  As a Putter Pal user, I find in order to save being charged to use of the PP (Putter Pal) for putts under 2 ft, I have to go into options, switch the display on/off depending if I need it or not. This takes up time and is very distracting. I may stop using PP because I feel that I am being ripped off for these strokes if I forget to disable it.  Would you not be able to, for PP paid users only, put a simple on/off choice for those really really REALLY close putts. I realize there will be those that will say you would "Be giving up revenue" by allowing PP players to do that, but consider this, they are still going to buy PP strokes, and lots of them by keeping those players happy. Also, with the concede button in the Alternate and Match plays, you are "Losing Revenue" already.

   

  Just a thought.

  I agree with you that it would be much more convenient to be able to turn it on and off while playing but at a price of 2.85 hits per penny spent it's not that big of a deal. Even if you play 9 holes every single day and have one of those shots on every single hole I think you're looking at roughly 94 cents a month. Very minimal and even expecting to pay that much for those putts each month is unrealistic. You simply won't have one of those putts on every single hole.

  Even for someone like me who uses PP and can't afford to put cash in this game it's hardly getting "ripped off." It's a price we pay for using the product. So I just leave it on and don't fret about it.

  Personally I'd like to have the ability to see how many hits are left on the PP from the equipment page like we can view  golf balls in the bag. That would make it easier to make sure the bag is stocked properly before teeing off.

  I'd like a buy now button when in game the same as we do when we're down to our last ball. Maybe pop the box up when i've got 5hits left.

  Didn't know that wasn't an option...makes perfect sense.....

  That does make sense for those who run out during a game. I wasn't aware that it wasn't an option because the situation hasn't come up for me. 

  I've always made sure that I had at least two sleeves of my preferred ball and 500 Putter Pal hits in inventory just so I wouldn't have the distraction of running out in the middle of a round.

  Making your own is definitely the cheaper option the OP should look at.

  I buy the game's PP as I'm on the family's shared laptop that my wife takes to the office some days. It's just simpler for us not to be taping things to it, peeling it off, putting it back on, etc. Just keeping it more professional for her.

  The PP costs less than some sleeves of golf balls and the 1000 hit purchase option lasts a very long time since I don't play stroke play every single day.

  Easy to make one of your own by taking a screen shot of your meter then use a photo editing software to add percent lines and size it to the measurement of the swing scale on our monitor. Could look something like this

  

   Then you could tape it to your monitor or use a transparency making software to overlay it on your swing scale.

  If you like the putter pal scale that can be done too.

  I tried to use that ruler before but kept getting errors on the setup so I didn't bother with it others seem to like it too.
