  Can anyone interpret the scale that shows up (aka power meter scale) when using "Shot Pal"? This scale displays numerous vertical bars,, but I don't understand how they correlate to specific distances when making shots. It almost seems easier not to use Shot Pal & to just estimate when to make my shot as I always have before without Shot Pal. I'm sure there must be some "user error" on my part, but I don't see or comprehend what I'm doing wrong, nor how to use Shot Pal. Explanation appreciated.

  I appreciate your help. I comprehend how to use shot pal now. One last question I feel silly asking, but you include a diagram in which you say "open new tab to view". How is this done? When I click on "new tab" near the top of the screen after reading your post, this opens a new tab in Yahoo Search. I wish to view the diagram you've included (it's currently difficult to read being so small), but don't know how to do so. Thanks again!

  The player comments about Shot Pal were spot on. We definitely recommend doing some practice rounds to figure out your clubs better.

  As for the image, just right click on your mouse then select Open Image in New Tab.

  Right click on the picture of the shot pal and then click "open in new tab" or "view in new tab" etc.

  A cut down post-it note works just as well and you can put the marks wherever you like. It's even sticky.

  There are lines every 10% - plus the 25% and 75% lines.

  If you are using Internet Explorer then the 'View Image In New Tab' option does not appear in the right click menu. But you can achieve a similar result by left clicking on the image and holding the mouse button down. Then drag the image up to the browser title bar (or the address bar) where the cursor will change from unavailable to an arrow with a '+' sign, then you can release the mouse button.
