Anyone Learned Aimpoint? Your Thoughts?

No point being both, if you can't chip, it helps to be able to putt, if you can't putt, it helps to be able to chip :thup:

Good point! Given the choice I'll take good putter. Only thing worse than chipping stone dead then missing the putt is putting into a bunker.

But nobody would ever do that...........?? :whistle:

Read the whole thread. Explained very clearly how Aimpoint works for me. Feel you are just stirring the pot some more

Again - are you the only person to use this method ?

Yes you don't keep stats - thank you for letting me know

Now let's see what other people who use this method bring to the table

Never heard of this method and I'm trying to see the positive from actual results on the course

For example since people had their lesson how has their handicap been and competition results - simple stats that could show an improvement ( I'm sure you keep those stats though )

That's how I get by, I certainly don't get to playing off of 8 by good chipping! (I've never putted into a bunker though :D)

How bout you give us your putting stats, you must keep them?

I'm sure Richart will be along soon to own up to doing it. I did give him the line though, maybe if I'd done the aimpoint course I would have given him the right one :mmm:

As I posted several pages ago, I don't believe such stats are possible!

PGA 'Strokes Gained - Putting' data and movement up the list might be the best indicator. But there are too many other variables involved at our level.

I do know a Pro who went on the course but decided it wasn't the method for him! He didn't consider it bad or slow though, just 'un-natural' - for him.

So would you expect a successful method of putting to provide better results in comps and a decrease in handicap ?

Nor did gordon, I believe it may have been someone else r.....t :o:D

Maybe he's a man that could benefit from aimpoint, I'm sure I've seen the 'don't putt into the bunker' message on the promo!!

So can the people using it give me their improvement figures in terms of handicap decreases and scoring in competitions to show the improvement since taking on this method of putting ?

Yep. Using a similar system - read my post earlier in the thread - I chopped 2 shots off since adopting the system. Do you want my spreadsheet to confirm the stats (signed by my mum for authentication) ?

Just because you doubt it don't doubt others. I can't abide black gloves on a golf clue, but if others choose them I won't slate them

Why must I keep them ?

Surely if you have such a train spotter like addiction to stats you'd keep them to prove that your non-Aimpoint method is working for. No? Didn't think so. Stop banging on about stats then. It isn't what Aimpoint is about and either you are being deliberately obtuse or missing the point. It is a green reading method

What's that going to show us about Aimpoint?

He keeps asking so why not divulge? Homer doesn't keep stats but has said all along that what it does for him is to narrow his focus at a point that he putts towards and that gives him the confidence to then hit the putt. He has seen results I'm sure similar to mine where the ball tracks to the hole more often then before and he either cans it, shaves it topside or miss on low side which now becomes a speed issue. We in this country very rarely play on a12 stimp. But I'd be more confident and trust the system in playing the breaks as the quicker the greens the more break required......

Apologies missed your post and thank you for showing me your improvement - ( that's all I asked )

Well done on improving your handicap -:thup:

I asked for handicap reductions and competition results - one person has shown the method has helped them improve their handicap

My handicap not using the method is 5 :thup: - that is the stat I maintain and the only stat I have asked

Your a Cat 1 player surely you need to keep stats to see where you can improve to get lower or are you satisfied with 5.1?

Never kept a stat in my life

I go out to enjoy the game and what happens is immaterial as long as I enjoy myself

I'm satisfied just enjoying myself
