Use a variety of Avatar points of reference for different %'s. Also keep in mind that the speed at which you draw back the putter has an impact on distance. If it took you an imaginary 10seconds to draw the putter head back 1/2 an inch, lets say that would net you 27%. Re-hit your shot but this time take 5seconds to draw the putter head back the same 1/2 inch and your putt would now travel 33%. Keep in mind were talking small %'s here so things will only get worse with longer putts. Does the speed at which you swing through and hit the putt also effect the distance? Seems to, but I am not one to do 'studies'. Its one of those 'subconcious' things, I think, where I may push thru a bit more if I think my backswing was short. "Smooth & straight back and through", just like the real deal. I don't use the rumble, meter, or percentage advice and I tend to fall in the 1.4 to 1.7 pph range.
FWIW, props for those who can use clothing as a visual cue. I just use the distance between the club & the ball, like I actually would. |

AFAIK it does not have any effect on the putt. Sometimes I press the joystick all the way forward and others I only initiate the motion (depending on distance) and both have produced the same results. |

All that said, I've picked up a weird hook move at the end of ONLY my putting stroke. My speed is still fine, but I missed a dozen easy ones to the left and missed the cut. My plane feedback on full swings is finishing straight - only my slow putting stroke is fubar. Might be time for a new joystick ?
p.s. - watch for more of my fave albums' covers as avatars !
