    Same thing with a down hill putt , if the line goes from red to pink , do u subtract more footage than what it calls for. ???

    Thankyou Andy!  "Sound familiar?"  LOL!  I've worked tirelessly on my putting but it does throw me when a putt (before now) mysteriously pulled up or went long.  I'd make adjustments thinking the speed of the greens were different.  Now I have another tool in the arsenal!

    There are little points like this all over that can help you shave a stroke or strokes.  On short chips and pitches, slide the cursor towards yourself to find out how much of that last yard you really need to cross.  I have hit chips that slid past the hole, only to find that the distance had barely made 10y, meaning it was more like 9y.  Also, on putts of longer than 6', check the path of the putt for unseen dips or rises.  I have found putts that said they were flat, but in fact they dipped an inch then rose an inch before the hole.  That putt will play short without that info.

    Bollox once mused that he moves the aimer in a circle around the hole to get a better idea of the slope. It works.
