Anyone Learned Aimpoint? Your Thoughts?

[standrew]

Wow this thread got crazy. Anyway im taking the course and Ill just wait to see if i lose my fun putting, bring the course to a halt, lose my natural instinct, waste money and become 'that guy'.

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

Strangely enough I enjoy my golf even the bad ones. Just because I use Aimpoint you seem to be making an assumption is somehow not helping me do this

Then stop attacking Homer then! He enjoys his golf, he does what he does to improve whether it's Aimpoint, Nopoint or Somepoint. It's quite clear you only play to enjoy the game but don't have a go at players who want to improve.

Simple question yes or no

Has using aimpoint help you improve your competition results and decrease your handicap

I haven't "attacked" anyone - I asked a question aimed at everyone

I asked a simple question on the improvement using a different putting method

So far the only replies are ones on the defensive about such method without actually quantifying the improvements in terms on handicap decreases and competitions results

One person has shown how the change in method has improved their handicap

I think in the context of this thread, this is a valid question. Don't really understand the reluctance to answer it.

I didn't realise it was such a bad question that has evoked such a reaction from some people

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......

Homer religiously kept stats using SS2, he posted about using that software on a daily basis about one part of the game or another - so he has got stats. Fine, he doesn't keep them anymore but surely you would have a snapshot over a couple or few rounds?! Within 30 secs I could recount the putts from last 2 rounds to at least get an idea.

Making more mid range putts would make a dent in my h'cap. I've said a few times on here that I don't convert enough birdie chances. I was genuinely interested in seeing if the method had demonstrated a tangible improvement rather than a feel.

Never mind

good video this. it kind of backs up my idea of seeing my line on a big breaking putt, then giving it a little more. not exactly scientific but it works for me.

Yes.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Yes.

See that wasn't hard was it - what was your improvement ?

I watched that video when searching for it. Where does this chart come in though?

All derived from the golf channels aimpoint ?

 

[garyinderry]

can someone post the putting stats of the pros again. once they get outside 10 feet it becomes a lottery if they make it or not.


just cut down the three putts.

if this system was so good pros would forget about swing changes and work on this alone. its as simple as that! the money is made on the green!

no idea chap. I'm still a bit lost with the whole aim point thing, but it has shown me I am on the right path at "reading" by doing what I am doing.

I just found this vid when looking up aimpoint. I thought it was worth sharing.

I am only looking to increase chances of regularly making ONE more putt per round from this range

Can I just point out that Liverpoolphil doesn't work for the FBI & you don't have to put up with interrogation :thup:

One method I have seen being used by a pro is first finding the straight putt on the green and then pacing until you reach your ball then use the amount of steps to judge the break and how far left or right the aim needs to be

the ONLY way to do this is spend more time on the practice green.

When inside that are your misses the same , short, long , high or low ?

Mine used to be high - lots of missed putts above the hole. Found my putter face was open on impact
