  rudeness caused the reply quote," by the looks of your putting you could use one", Jim is a jerk!

  Your right the distance charts do nothing more then assist the played in distance, not break. You would have to create 4 distance cheats due ti the fact WGT changes the distance meter at random from 25,50,100,150, example last night I had a 14' putt and was given a 100' meter, which really bugs me win WGT does that.

  You do know that you can change the distance on the putting meter by clicking the up/down arrows next to the distance?  I'm guessing by your post that you do not.  You can also accidentally change the meter by scrolling or clicking on the screen.  That's probably how you got the 100' meter on a 14' putt.   And you only need one 'cheat' meter.   A common 'cheat' would show 25%, 50%, and 75%...   So if you have a putt of 15 feet,  you'd want to hit it at 50% of 30 feet (obviously depending on green speed).  The 'cheat' would only help in that you won't have to 'guess' where the 50% line is.  You still have to do the simple math to estimate the percentage.

  ur a jerk Jim, my putting may be considered poor to you but it is honest and above average again ur a jerk....and a cheat. Learn to use ur natural abilities if you have any.

  A jerk is someone that comes on here, takes a magnificent thread that is very helpful to many, many players and tosses a "cheat" bomb in the middle of it. Seems to me you fit that profile.

  FWIW, little one, I have never used anything close to a Putter Pal, piece of tape or calculator. My game is 100% off the top of my head. I don't even have notes. Your putting sucks bigtime and if that's your best effort you might go try Angry Birds.

  Take your insults elsewhere, this thread was written by a great player for the masses and has gone a long way to helping many. Your cheat insinuation is absurd and totally out of place.

  No, your cheat bomb was the first insult-an insult to the efforts of those that succeed, something you apparently can't do. You subsequent behavior labels you quite sufficiently, I don't need to. A suggestion for you to  you get help for your miserable putting is good advice, not an insult.

  What part of take it elsewhere don't you understand? Stick to the putting topic. And lose the name-calling, there's no call for it.

  RLSDSurfer... Real Life Surfer Dude:  I thought surfers were alot more laid back than you are.  Perhaps Jim was not as delicate as he could have been regarding your putting.  But you do have a lot of room for improvement at 1.95 putts per green.  Look at the players who are in the 1.30 to 1.50 neighborhood and observe what putters they use.  And follow the tutorials and advice for better reading of putts.  Putting is all about knowledge, not using any cheat devices.  You seem to have an excellent game from looking at your recent scores... improve your putting and you will do even better.

  Good luck... and good waves.

  And rlsdsurfer I would like to see an apology from you to Mr. Jim. Don't make me sick Granny on you, she already has her drawers in a uproar over sales not being what they should be.

  Why don't you people just drop this nonsense. This was originally to help people. Now it is a constant pain in the ass, with folks bickering with each other. Take the tips that you can use, and shut the hell up about the things that don't relate to the help. Get it, and that goes for all the people. this was a help post. Keep your personalities out of it. I am appalled at some of the people who are having a dick dance on here.
