    Just saw this thread, thanks for the comments.  Haven't had as much WGT time recently, and most the rounds I've played of late haven't been worth recording!  Will try and get some fresh content up sooner than later (maybe tonight if I have a decent round).

    Awww come on Bollox, you don't only have to post "decent" rounds. I would love to see a couple normal or even semi-bad rounds for the reassurance that even the greats suck as bad as we do sometimes lol.

    Always happy to help with anything I can.   I may not be the best here, but have most of the knowledge in my head, just can't execute it as often as I would like to.  But doesn't mean the info won't help others.

     

    I had a lot of help from the "Elders" when I first joined, so paying it forward is rewarding for me.

    So... any of you "Elders" want to help me? lmao

     

    PS: watched your vids bollox... great stuff, it's nice to know HOW to do some of the things you do.

    Be really great to know WHY...

    xD

    Just watched the vids and all I can say is wow.

    Lets me know how far I have to go.Amazing putting.

    I do have a couple questions 

    When you miss the ding is it always on purpose or are you really human after all.lol

    Also it seemed on some of your longer shots you seemed to stop just short of full swing?

    Is this right?

    Of course I have a ton more questions but won't bother you with any more.

    thanks

    Thanks, but keep in mind I'm mainly only posting good rounds, definitely miss my fair share in a typical round, especially now w/ 8 courses to memorize it is much harder.  Back in late 2009 and 2010 when there were fewer courses, slower speeds, and spent 3x as much playing as I do now, I'd rarely miss inside 15 ft :)

    I do have a couple questions 

    When you miss the ding is it always on purpose or are you really human after all.lol

    When its putting, its often times intentionally missing.  When it comes to full shots I generally try to favor missing on a certain side of the ding, but still trying to ding the shot.  So to answer the question, it is typically due to to unintentionally missing.  But if you can have it where you miss the majority of the time on more favorable side it helps.

    Also it seemed on some of your longer shots you seemed to stop just short of full swing?

    I tend to use full backspin more than most of the top players from what I've seen video of, or asked them what they'd hit while playing with them.   So for me personally I will often times hit for instance a full backspin 5i (195 club)  and take off a little power, where a lot of others may choose to go with something like a 6i (180) with no spin or a little top.  Their method is likely better, but it's just the way I learned to play the game and the style I'm more used to. 

    Is this right?

    Of course I have a ton more questions but won't bother you with any more.

    Feel free to ask here or in the comments section on youtube.

    thanks
