Putting Assistance

  Lately I have ran into some difficulty with putting. I think I have my putt lined up correctly, then take the shot. My ball does one of three things.

  1 Stops short of hole.Please offer some kind of assistance...

  2. Rolls directly at hole and then 6 to 8 inches away it curves off.

  3 Rolls over the top of the hole or rims the hole without falling in. 

  It has really frustrated me. I have read some of the other forums on putting, like when I reverse the view the dots are at approximately 10 ft of putting distance, adjust accordingly. When I practice putting, the ball goes in, practice is different than the tournaments. I have included some videos of my putts to give you an example. Any assistance, advise or suggestions are welcome..

  https://everyplay.com/videos/20656836 rimmed twice, should of had a birdie
  https://everyplay.com/videos/20602278 curves off just before hole, no break

  https://everyplay.com/videos/20602181 curves off just before hole, no break
  https://everyplay.com/videos/20602137  right over the top on hole

  https://everyplay.com/videos/20583009 stops at hole

  https://everyplay.com/videos/20582952 rimmed instead of in.

   

  https://everyplay.com/videos/20386388 should have been in, over the hole.

  Thank you understanding the dot movement is very helpful. I read some other forum post and knew about half the grid equal 10 feet, but didn't know about the uphill difference. Thank you again and I hope some of the beginners do read this.. I know my son needs too.

  Now RickRR - you probably know all this , but i'm posting because it may help to go back to basics

  Nice tips :)

  All depends what method of putting the Op uses.  Is it miss the ding putter or aim and ding putter.

  I'm a miss ding putter, which means I don't move aim...just click either side of ding depending on roll.  Except on a very fast dot movement... then move aim half/full square and also miss ding with long putts.

  I have a simple calculation for Tourny speed greens...

  Use the avatar movements for distance; and using the 15,30 60 ft scale type of putter

  Full putt on the 15 scale travels 20ft

  3 avatar movements on the 30 scale travels 24 ft

  Full putt on the 30 scale travels 40ft

  3 avatars movements on the 60 scale travels 48ft

  this depends on elevation too, so +/- the distance

  The golden rule when you can't figure out the dot movement, just hit straight and ding it

  Thank you Roger,

  I am an aim and hope to hit the ding putter (usually just miss ding) maybe I should try the off ding putting version.

  Well , I,m glad you posted as well Mantis - as your experience is beyond question.

  Any tip is a good one.

  I'm way far from the best on here, but at the stage I'm get a bit annoyed of missing a 20ft putt.

  Within reason and I do miss a few of em...lol

  Thank you for the information. I played a game and I did alright with the "Off-Ding" method,
