  I was playing some guy in stroke play earlier,we are both Champion tier and pretty good players and he was telling me he is trying a new putt technique or trick,tip he picked up from that dude FMagnets who shoots like a -20 every round he plays LMFAO so I asked him what technique is that ? he said he doesnt move the flag,I go Oh OK I dont pull the flag either on putts It helps me line up my cursor for the green sway movement of the dots left or right,he isnt very good at speaking English and he said no not move flag but dont move the cursor ??? I almost blew beer bubbles out my nose from laughing...no freakin' Champion is going to shoot -20s and -18s like that dude does if he is keeping the cursor centered with the pin cup on Champion greens with all the movement and curvy putts sideways,light reds and yellows move twice if not 3 times more left/right on sways,either this dude was just yanking his chain or there is some phony bologna going on with some of these players shooting these ridiculous low scores every time out,all it takes is to miss a ping ding putt a hair sometimes on the meter and a putt will lip off the side or spin off but yet these people are making every hole for birdie or eagle on every course they play on is a bunch of hogwash,WGT really needs to start checking some of these players and their scores a little closer,we all have great rounds once in awhile where we are spot on and hot as hell but for a legit player to score that high on almost every Tournament they enter is some fishy stuff going on here when you factor in the uphills,downhills,strong winds and the light reds,yellows curvy putts that never roll or move consistent enough to ace that well,It doesnt take a genius to figure out these tourneys are rigged

  Possible not to move the cursor if he is hitting left or right of the ding instead of moving the cursor I guess but that would be very tricky.

  You can watch every stroke of every round fmags plays, simply go to his profile page for the links.

  I assume by not moving the "cursor", you mean the aim marker. I very rarely move it from the hole, yes, even on 13 greens. If I have a very severe break and downhill I will bring it out some, but I have putted from day one like this.

  It is known as "off ding putting". I only try to hit the ding on a putt if it looks to be straight in with no dot movement. Depending on the severity of the break and the direction, I will click anywhere from a hair to a whole lot early on the ding, or a hair to a whole lot late on the ding.

  This method of putting has been going on since the game started and a whole lot of players use it, though still a definite minority. In the pro shop there are putters whose attributes cater to this style of putting and putters whose attributes will wreck you with this style of putting.

  Im not talking about FMagnets,Ive seen him play before and he moves his aim marker,he probably meant on wedge shots and approach shots with fairly straight wind

  HaHa ... the point is you have decent above average players like me,you have elite top tier players like FMagnets and then you have a bunch of software users who couldnt cut the mustard racking up tons of free credits milking this site like a cash cow,clean up the game some WGT and while youre at it invest in some new servers that can actually handle 4 players playing at the same time better,crashes....loading issues,choppy meters " unexpected errors " maintenance that lol
