Your post is useless, you told us all how you make tons of great putts and you didn't tell us how, but you said practice. So maybe you can re-post with a strategy that you use? Posting with, well I am better than you all cause I practice is so lame man. We don't care if you are better, we care about tips and something that will help us be better. Watch some twitch streams and see what the better players do. I'm not into giving out tips so easily, the rest of us had to learn through repetition. There is a system but it is 95% touch and practice. Hard to help you with that unless we do the shots for you too  |

I feel like putting is easier in TGC2 than in TGC1.. the cup physics are much better so putts that would miss in TGC1 drop in the side door in TGC2.. It's just about practice.. At first before you get used to putting you just look at the beads.. eventually you will take into account uphill/downhill as well (downhill breaks more), then you will learn not to trust the beads and actually read the grid. There are alot of "ghost breaks" in tgc2 where it shows as flat when looking at the beads but if you look at the actual green you will notice it does tend to go one way or the other.. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
TO start with in TGC1 I was a terrible putter and got frustrated by it, but by now I feel like it is one of my strengths, Anything under 10ft I am disappointed if i miss.. And i sink my fair share of 20+ footers when playing safe to the middle of the green. Again.. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

Thank you sir, can you provide a link or twitch name? I usually place in the top 10, I'm not looking for a complete guide. I am looking for a putting guide.

Practice practice practice?? I am on summer break, I play this game all day. I've practiced all day long, how many hours are you practicing? Like I said, there is an algorithm to putting. Those who know it aren't giving it up cause they want to remain on the top. I get it.. I was just hoping one of those people felt generous or were drunk enough to share.

The cup physics suck in this game, so unforgiving.. I can jam a ball towards a hole at a fast speed, it's going to hit the back of the hole and bounce backwards... not in this game it will bounce out the back of the hole and continue to roll 10 yds beyond the hole. I may have taken physics in college, but am i Crazy? I feel like you have to get the line 98% accurate and the power 99% accurate to sink it. If you ball is running the hole and lips. I dont feel like the hole accounts for your balls edge in a 360 degree sense.. it only accounts for the flat surface under your balll

Those who know it aren't giving it up cause they want to remain on the top. I get it.. I was just hoping one of those people felt generous or were drunk enough to share. Lots of us have been playing for 2+ years, so you have a ways to go to catch up  I'm not trying to be an ass, just saying that it is the most subtle and realistic part of the game, and shouldn't be easy to master right away. There isn't really a reliable algorithm to it, because green speeds change, grids can lie and two breaks are never exactly the same. Like I said best thing to do is watch twitch streams of other good players. https:// www.twitch.tv /doubtfulobelisk https:// www.twitch.tv /sloanertw That should get you off on the right track. Try and emulate where they put the aiming marker. Aside from that, focus on getting the pace right, so that 90% of the time your misses end up 2-3 feet past the hole. |

Posting with, well I am better than you all cause I practice is so lame man. We don't care if you are better, we care about tips and something that will help us be better. Yikes, that kind of attitude is going to get you all kinds of help around here. No algorithms or magical formulas for me. Just learn how to read the beads, learn how to control distance and how the different speeds and firmnesses effect the putt. And yes, that can only be achieved by practice. He gave you the only tip you really need. If someone has figured out some method of using a protractor and equations to hit every putt they're not going to share it freely. Why should they? They put in the work and practice (there's that word again) to develop it. |

Its all feel for me.. i dont use any algorithms or formulas.. i visualise the putt and aim where i feel like i need to aim... feel touch and experience.. ive had this putt before and i know how the ball will react.. ive seen someone on stream have this putt and watched it roll.. thats basically all it comes down to.. i dont sink every putt no one is perfect. You just get more feel for it over time

Like i said I have no problem with wind speed, lie adjustments, elevation adjustments, all SUPER consistent, 98-99% consistent! So why is putting so INCONSISTENT? I have practiced on the greens, down 3 ft well logic would say don't click as much over as the line says... up 3' logic would say click a little more over. I do that in the game and one put at 3' with 4 lines of med break, I click over 4-8 clicks because who knows sometimes its 4 clicks putter to the back of the heel and sometimes its 5 clicks putter to the back of the heel?? Is it just a guessing game and get lucky?

Is it just a guessing game and get lucky? Again it depends on alot of things.. uphill i will hit putt it hard and straight on a 3 footer to take out the break..downhill i will just touch it and play more break.. over time you will figure out what works for you. I dont think clicks works well in tgc2 the greens are playing very differently to tgc1. You just need to miss that putt alot of times to figure out what works for you |

The problem is not the clicks, the problem is this game will not give you a percentage read out on your putt swing. So how the hell are we supposed to ever know what percentage the back of our shoe is? How are we supposed to be consistent? I guess in this game your goal is to not be consistent and just try to be with luck of your analog thumbstick. Anyone else see a problem with this?

U need to practise more lol no... just no.. All you people say practice more and you never provide any helpful tips. What is you average round score? I want to hear the average round score of these people that waste our time with "practice more" how the f is that going to help anyone?? Re-fuh-diculous |
