My personal issue with Aimpoint is that i could know the exact line everytime, but first i have to be able to start the ball on that line and hit the correct weight.

Congrats to our first LPGA AimPointer Stacy Lewis on her runaway win today. This is her 9th win since learning AimPoint and moves her up to World #2 ranking.

Feeling slope with your feet is something I once heard\read from Faldo to establish subtle breaks. He said to walk next to the line of your putt and feel the slope with your feet. It's something I do if I'm not sure. Whether I could convert that to different pressures in my feet for the amount of break I don't know but I guess the principle is the same.
I used to use my feet to gauge slope, but I find it more accurate to use more of my body and roll down, the faster I roll the steeper the slope. Never fails!

TBH, your half way there, and it's not that hard to determine the amount.

a bit cheap you say. Why have a wee dig at someone posting up the aimpoint pricing? Surely you should be defending the value for money?
Anyway, he's actually extremely good value for money, usually gives you a bit longer than your lesson time and will have 'a look' if he spots you on the range..........not cheap!!!..........as you put it.
Oh, and he shows you how to read a green without the need to have you hopping around waggling your fingers in the air like 'big chief slow up play' either! Tell me, does it start raining after you read a green? £200 to tell folk you can feel a slope with your feet? :rofl::rofl::rofl: By God, he saw you lot coming, I had that figured out when I learned how to walk!

...and the point is?
would it help to post up the hundreds of winners both male and female who don't use maimpoint? that would be pointless also I think:mmm:

Not fishing, not my style.
Like your 'cheap' comment I am just being utterly dismissive of yet another method of fleecing weak minded individuals (generally speaking) from their hard earned.
Edit: I note there is no defence of the price point. Do you think £200 represents good value for money, honestly?

We've done this mate, golf is full of fads. I had a look at aimpoint when it was first mentioned on here. To me it seems like a chargeable way of telling golfers to carry on doing what they are doing.....but with a chart. If people want to spend their hard earned on it,
fair enough.
I have 2 thoughts though. If it doesn't contribute to slow play, why is there a need for an express version??
Also for me it lost a bit of credibility when it was mentioned Adam Scott used it when putting well, but when he was putting poorly it had nothing to do with aimpoint

Nice one. How much did you pay to learn to do what I've been doing for free since I started playing golf?
I've not used it but recognise some of the ideas, and in some cases already use those techniques. Similar to new golf thinking, there are techniques that are already in use, just rebranded.
But a rhetorical question; if people are willing to spend £200 on a new driver or putter that might shave a few shots off your score, why aren't people willing to spend the same on a new technique?

I only paid £40 for my lesson. Money well spent on the Express read and has transformed my putting.
Aimpoint is a SIMPLE and SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND system of MEASUREMENT.
If you are good at reading slope- you don't need Aimpoint.
If you often miss high and low but with a good pace then Aimpoint might be able to help.
This is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that a piece of golf instruction with it's merits based on physics has packaged itself under a brand and has felt a backlash from those who would not dare attempt to understand the 'new' before defending the 'old'.
And you know what? I get the dubiety and unfounded criticism- I really do. Those who have not done the course see handicap hackers walking about the greens with a chart in their back pocket or straddling their golf ball and putting their fingers up to the hole. Looks weird and even worse- 6 foot putts are still missed.
I suppose my main disappointment lies in the fact that there is still a HUGE element of golfers and instructors happy to peddle the "That looks stupid / expensive" or "I've been putting fine for 40 years" or "just another gimmick" lines.
I, on the other hand, believe that embracing new ideas and change in golf instruction can only be a good thing for the game.
