The question is; if he couldn't anchor using the broomstick putter, would he be as good as he is?
As much as I'm an Aimpoint stalwart, it's his whole game that's blowing the field away. Superb to watch. Personally I think he'll make the switch ok back to a normal putter

Totally disagree, think hes probably gonna suffer more than anyone when the change comes. Expect he very quickly goes the Kuchar route

Not saying Aimpoint is sole reason for his lead Homer, as his ball striking is on a different planet at the moment, but if players are doubting the validity of Aimpoint, then on 14th should prove a point when he bombed it in from 35ft after a one finger read.

he went to a broomhandle cos he couldnt putt normally! Sorry but knowing it gonna be against the rules = should be ditched already imho

Can you bomb it in from 35ft using a one finger aim ?!
If he misses a putt can we blame it on aimpoint ?
Scott is smashing the field because of his ball striking and shoving the ball right next to the hole. His putting is high on confidence because of the broom handle - going to be a different story when it's banned

ive only watched highlights of his 62, but from what I saw he wasn't shoving the ball right next to the hole...... And that 35ft on 14 wasn't next to the hole? And ball striking doesn't win tournaments.

pretty sure they said he holed 5 putts from 20ft plus. whilst he is playing good, the broomhandle is working well and aimpoint plays its part - there has to be a large dose of fortune in that as well

will Mr Williams stick around if his putting goes off once the BH is banned? There lies the question

hes on the verge of retiring anyway isnt he? pretty sure hes had to be talked into continuing once Scott won the masters last yr (knee trouble i believe)

So when he misses a putt or misreads a putt does that mean aimpoint is poor ?

Dont understand your point or reply to my post? But like I've said and homer has before, Aimpoint gives you the break of a putt, you still have to aim, swing and get the speed right, and it's then down to the vagaries of the green if you hole or not.

If Aimpoint is solely responsible for him holing these bombs.......is that 6ft misread on the last also down to Aimpoint??
Just asking.

Loll. Did you see him stick any fingers up in the air when he was behind the ball?
He looked in his book to see what the break was but this wasn't the Aimpoint chart. The long putt on the last was an Aimpoiint read only thing he didn't do was to get the speed right.

Really? Speed was spot on wasn't it, exactly hole high? Either a 6' push or a 6' misread??
Either way, he had it on a string tee to green, great way to come back after a lay off!!

So when he sunk the putt it was because of aim point
When he missed the putt he wasn't using aim point

It depends, if his read was spot on, and started it online then speed is the issue, as it missed on the low side. Mind you he may of wanted to miss on the low side to give himself an easier 2nd putt.

:rofl:
So whenever he sinks one it's because of Aimpoint; whenever he misses one it's his fault! Aimpoint can't lose! Actually, that's probably correct.
According to PGA Stats, it was his 1st round putting - in his 62 - that was the major contribution - 5 shots better than 'the field'!
So to be 7 shots ahead of 2nd is defo down to more than just putting imo.

Just stating what I saw. On 14th he used it and holed it, on the last he used it on the long putt and missed on the low side which could be mis alignment, his stroke, his speed, just like he did on the par putt when he didn't use it.
