    I'm the miss the ding putter, straight putts are the only time I would ding it. My stats don't show it, but I'm one putting more often now, usually in the 10-14 putt range for a 9 hole game. At the stage that now, I'm slightly annoyed of missing a putt anything upto 20ft, if the roll is of the green is friendly.

    The only time I would move the aimer is when there is a very fast break left or right.

    When your close to the flag always hit the reverse view button, it gives you a better idea whare the dots are going... sometimes the dots go in a direction that doesn't show up in the normal view.

    If you play a course often enough and land the ball in/or close to the same spot all time you will get to know the rolls, if the pins are in the same spot..... St. Andrews #1 for eg, I like to land the ball behind the hole, when it's at the front of green.  The roll of the green never changes and have figured out where to stop the meter..9 outa 10 putts will go in.

    Takes a bit of getting use to... but missing the ding has worked for me.

    I'm starting to play Oakmont allot now, just for the greens (scores are terrible, but that's another story). If you can handle those evil greens you can putt on any course. It will frustrate the living end outa of ya, but the fast rolls on those greens are good to practice on.

    Cheers

    I agree,,,I very rarely move the aim point...alway hit late or early depending on the speed of the dots. 

    Like you say,,,if a short fast moving break I'll move the aim point to the edge of the cup, and still not ding it.

    kskirkpatrick69:

    I know part of golf is positioning your approach for an optimal uphill putt but it sure seems like every putt on every course inside of 6 feet as at least a foot and a half of break in it..

    i'm not sure if anyone got the original thread.but Phil Mickelson short game coach Dave Pelz looks at a green as if it was a clock for example the first hole at St. Andrews with the pin in the back position I like to least my shot at about four o'clock which is a little to the  right and below,from there i should have a straight putt to the hole. another example is  first hole at Bethpage Black with a pin in the front of the green if you  leave your approach shot at about six o'clock which is below the hole you will  have a straight putt uphill 

    the best way to achieve this is to play practice rounds and once you arrive at the Green hit 10 foot putts from all over the Green until you Max out your shots for the hole and find a straight putt ,then  watch the replay to verify what you're saying is true

    best of luck

    keep it on the short grass
