So you've never misread a putt?
And every putt you've hit that has got to the hole has gone in?

If Aimpoint guarantees that putts go in then I'll pay up now!!

Don't go there!!! You'll get lynched.
I'm with you :thup:
part of it for me is the formulaic, paint by numbers approach to golf it encourages.
Magic beans :rofl:

I think they'd be overwhelmed!
The point is 'Would you pay/What's it worth to (supposedly) increase the percentage that do'!
So how much would you pay for 50% more. Or even 5% nore.
No different from the reasoning associated with buying the latest model Driver, that 'gives you 10 extra yards and more fairways'!

Ahh the rolley eyes!!
Are you telling me that fellas that use aimpoint never miss a putt?
Because that's the counterpoint to yours

Absolute tosh! With logic like that, you deserve to get lynched!
That's as illogical as saying the 'without Aimpoint you will always miss'!

of course it is foxy....that's the point you basically said with aimpoint you can't misread a putt
as for lynching, there's not much chance of that, there's a high chance of being bored to death though. :thup:

Is it something in the air in Dorset!!!
Aimpoint, thru a science and mathematical approach, helps you to pick the correct place to aim. After the ball leaves the club head then it's out of your control no matter what system you use. You say paint by numbers golf approach, I bet you use DMDs? It's no different with Aimpoint!

You do indeed post some drivel!
But I seem to remember you (proudly?) stated that anyway! From earlier in this very thread

I have got a laser so maybe I'm a slight hypocrite, but my laser doesn't tell me where to aim and what club to take to compensate for slope etc. There is one that does that....and it's not allowed in comps
I've no great objection to aimpoint, it's just the evangelical glee with which some embrace it...until the next fad
I don't want to pick on Homer...but I will
He's always going through a swing change, he's using the linear method for his chipping, aimpoint for his putting, it's all bit contrived. It may be the best putting solution ever, but for me it's gets drowned out in the volume of other voices trying to re-invent the golfing wheel

Thats fine and it's your opinion which your entitled to, but you have to give Homer credit for doing what he does to WANT to improve. Your right DMD's don't tell you where to aim, not as yet anyway, who knows where technology will take us to and I have both none and slope bushnells.. As far as Evangelical glee, isn't that the case with most things in golf, new 350yd driver, suck back 40ft wedge, etc etc. no doubt you've been there done that?

Btw. We actually agree! It's the evangelical, and generally uninformed, pooh-pooh-ing of it that I consider wrong.
Not for you? Fine.
But that doesn't mean it's not perfect for someone else!
And if you are honest, you'd observe the results before jumping in with an opinion about whether it works or not. No problem with the opinion that it seems contrived, or whatever though.

I had a chat with an Aimpoint coach today and am quite keen to do a course. It's no more than the cost of a couple of chipping lessons and if it knock 1 shot off my handicap it's been worthwhile.

Spoke to a couple of very successful PGA coaches today about Aimpoint
One had been on the course
Response was what I expected
- each to their own but they both think it is a waste of money for an amateur unless the amateur can putt with the same consistent stroke every single putt.

I can't observe the results because I'm not up for trying it. I've read the promo stuff that's all, I obviously haven't got your keen observational skills because I've seen no one using it, they can't sell many magic beans down here.
the only reason I got drawn into this is because of one of your high handed slightly patronising replies, I really wish I hadn't
you know when I said you were boring me to death ....

fair enough, their opinion, but are they saying that you, a Cat 1 player, don't have a REASONABLE consistent stroke? I would suspect you do, how else are you a Cat 1 player?

They said there was no reason for me to look at other methods as I appear to read greens well and get the crucial elements close - pace

I'd be interested to read what areas, if any, they suggested was most effective for you to work on. Cynically, I'd think it involved their (or other Pros) input rather more than the likes of Aimpoint courses or Wedge analysis/grinding, but that's not un-natural. Bet it wouldn't involve spending £300 on a new Driver though!
If you posed the question 'I have £250 (or £100 or £500) and 120 hours (again think of a number) that I can dedicate to Golf training/practice from here to the end of the season, with the idea of getting as low as I can by <whenever>. How and when do you recommend the best way to allocate those resources' In other words, let's create a plan!
I tried to do that with my Pro many years ago, when i knew some of those numbers, but he wasn't keen to set the time aside to do it, preferring ad-hoc lessons and practice. Fairly stereotypical attitude, but one that could be worth battering a bit imo. I've seen equivalent plans, sort of along the lines I'd envisaged, for kids development, so why not us big kids!

Sorry to dredge this thread up form the depths.
I gather there's an aimpoint app.
Does anyone know if that'd be legal and if so what other features you'd have to make sure your mobile phone didn't have.
