The eternal challenge for me in WGT is putting - Specifically aiming of putts. I have reviewed any number of recommendations of VERY accomplished players - Young46, Tekoma, Twisted Root, Mistress Cosette, etc. While the math of some methods may be intimidating and time consuming it certainly can work. I tend to land in the camp of folks playing this game who like the challenge of eye balling a putt, but are open to help.
I would like some explanation what various putting techniques work best for you...I need help. For instance, Tekoma has posted fabulous videos of several different aiming strategies. I can figure out the technique, but when should I use which technique??! Thoughts? Ideas? Recommendations?
Lots of great advice.
I am one of those who have never looked at any putting method.
Champ 13 I use 70%, 12 I use 75%..................That's for firm putting to go a couple of feet past on a miss. Now 5' I might hit harder just to make sure it does not deviate.
Arrow pointing up will be slower than down. Breaks will be harder the first and last thirds unless ramming, and especially so the faster the stimp with a downhill "trickler".
Use different views from behind to past the hole - know the whole topography of the putt.
Personally, I hated your putter (others putt v well with it and fine as putting is personal). For off dinging, I found it poor and I never had faith in its distance control (grouping).
I would tee up practice greens and get my distances down at Beth 3 (flat one from memory)..............Any distance any stimp a very simple calc should putt you close for tap in second putt (real useful knowledge for some long par 5 eagle chances) Oh and do it in low winds as high winds is something you will learn to allow for .....(EDIT: NOTE the scale you use and personally aim to ding for length and cross check with off dings but keeping it simple to start just ding as in the end you either putt the line correctly or not)
Once you get all that simple low hanging fruit down by all means check out the next stages, and do so with confidence. You will know the very few times dots do lie when you do.........I will do that stuff one day..maybe. I guess I should but time and inclination..........
Lastly your ADTP is not too flash. Some simple calcs with wedges should get that closer. Improving one putts with a poor ADTP is always going to be a rough experience.
