Aimpoint is slow - FACT

[Robobum]

Played 36 holes on Friday with a guy who used this caper. Without doubt it most definitely is slower.

I also asked him to explain it - he got the chart out!!!! You have got be be kidding me! Looked like log tables, but more complicated.

How did he putt out of curiosity?

I havent played with someone who uses it, however I would say the only fact is the guy you played with was slow

thats x2 that use it and are slow? how many do you need for it to be a fact ?

Not good at all. Probably the green/ sun/ moon/ UKIP/ aim/ stroke to blame

Hi Dean - great scores mate.

I presume you are Dean seeing as you feel qualified to comment on the 3ball I played in. Why have you changed your tune from when we discussed it down 15 on Friday?

I just saw Adam Scott use it for the first time and it seemed to slow things, but, he did make the putt which would have saved time !

if he makes a putt he's using it, if he missed he's not tis what I heard on here, must be true

I have been out with a few who use it. some slow, but were always slow. Others no/little slower than normal/previous - and the fact they sink more putts means they are quicker than would have been.

The guys that use it a lot take very little time to check/look up and can simply hit the putt. I can imagine that it takes a while to get accustomed to and am sure it will not suit some - who may struggle and be slow with it before realising it/they aren't suited.

But to claim 'fact' from 1 (or 2) example(s) is invalid imo.

Thanks for that Walter Mitty

Said it before and stand by it, I've used Aimpoint on every forum meet for the last two years and NO-ONE has complained about my pace of play AND I use the chart. Givent he jip I've had on here about other stuff I can't believe anyone would be too scared to mention it!! :ears: :rofl:I would say the guy is just slow. I can do my read in 10-15 seconds these days.

Interesting that slow play crops up a lot due to marking cards on the green - is that any slower than reading a chart? Even using crayons (not progressed to pencil yet) I can write2 numbers pretty quickly

Dennis Pugh has just said on the TV that Adam Scott is much slower using it. He also had little idea what it was about, but said he would know more by Thursday. I thought he had something to do with it but I may be wrong.:confused

Isn't he involved with the new golf thinking/stop slow play "thing"??

You may be right Amanda. I know he has been mentioned recently, but my memory is
