    What did you do ????  a 24 footer on Tounament green 0 up or down, used a 20 foot scale and hit 90 % (18 ft) and the ball went 11 ft ??? thought I used wrong scale ! so 13 ft 0 up/down hit 100% on 10 foot scale and the putt came up short ??? WTH !!!

    It would be different if instead of a 12 tournament green, the number changed to 10.5 or whatever. But WGT changes the green speed, doesn't change the green number and doesn't tell you they changed something !!

    Since it cost me extra hits on my ball, didn't play the way it normally plays, It appears to be a blatant hidden $$$$$ grab to make my Golf balls wear out faster and then have to buy more or use their Crappy Cue Ball !!

    I know I'm not the best Putter in this game, but after 1,800+ ranked and numerous unranked games, I can tell when the green isn't like it was the day or days before ! I miss left or right, not that much on distance !!!

    Bottom Line ...WGT is a cheat !! and because there is no other game anymore to compete with them, They Don't Care !!! Treat customers like Sh1t, just want your $$$$$ and we are left to deal with it !

    Why ? because they have no competition anymore in Online Golf ! If ever something decent, reasonable cost wise and fun comes along, these  @$$es will have a Mass Exodus of players too leave ! and still I don't think they would care !!!

    Putts don't count towards ball usage so that theory is out.  We also don't have a way of changing green speeds mid game or making one green 10 and the next 12. There is no conspiracy here to make you miss a putt like you did.  It really sounds like you used the 10 ft scale and not the 20.

    I did not say Mid-Game !! You did !  and you do change the greens without changing the green spd # !

    A 10 ft scale putt on a Tourney Green 99% of the time hit 100% goes 12.5 to 14 ft ! You work for the $$$$$ Grabbers, they pay you, so NO shoe I don't believe a word you say ! or any other WGT names you guys come up with, just like the forum of WGT Baseball ! Booby barely shows up there, You here and lets see, Tampoon, Shamwow, Batman and You were at Baseball at one time !! there a more aliases ! don't think I/we are stupid Shoe Please !! Paul here maybe ! and PT the forum Troll, I got 2 words for you ! $u[K !t !!!!

    And you think this type of post is helpful to you or anyone else?  No one is conspiring against you and there are not multiple aliases as you feel there is.

    It wouldn't have mattered, 18ft wasn't hard enough anyway!

    thought I used wrong scale ! so 13 ft 0 up/down hit 100% on 10 foot scale and the putt came up short ??? WTH !!!

    Neither was this one!

    Beat me to it Dan. 

    One more thing to consider....sometimes, that 20 ft putt can be 19 or 21. Reverse view will show if the putt changes distance inside or very near the hole. Sometimes, just clicking the mouse on the aimer, from reverse view, will immediately jump the distance up or down, and might even show a +/- elevation.

    Several recent test putts hit at 18ft power on a tournament 12 green speed are rolling 24-25ft even with a miss ding, some even into a wind (2-8 o clock) 15-17MPH.

    I have the video recorded.

    Dan, is your calculation (+2 X .7) ?  = 18.2

     

    p.s. I'm using STA #1  (level, no elevation change)

    OK, if you say so....but I'm hitting the 1st 1 at 19.5 ft and the 2nd putt at 11.25 on T12 greens and if I miss I'll have a 1-2ft return putt, never short! Regardless of the video evidence I'll go with 28,000 putts of experience!!!

    ok well lets be clear.

    Is your calculation for a flat tourny 12  "+2 X .7" ? *

    That would make a 24ft putt (as the OP states):

    24 + 2 (26) times .7 = 18.2 feet of power ?

    Therefore if you're hitting at 18 feet of power on a Tourny 12 speed you should be going approx. 23 feet, correct?

    Maybe I'm getting the incorrect Stimp calculation as you've listed. (shown below)

    fatdan:

    a simple distance +/- elevation + 2ft x .65/.7/.75/.8 depending on the green speed works perfectly every time...
