Turning off aids is one thing, having no idea what the wind is doing is just dumb. Change that and I will play. Won't hijack this thread anymore but need to comment on this. Pause and look at the flag - gives you a better idea of the wind than you will ever have IRL. |

Pause and look at the flag - gives you a better idea of the wind than you will ever have IRL. I try that, half the time it's not even there. And even when it is, I can't tell an 8 mph wind from a 12 mph wind. But that makes a big difference in the length of the putt. |

Yeah - that bug is annoying. Only solution is to restart the game.
Wish HB would have a flag or range of wind option for the hid.

I'm just looking at the grid lines between the avatar and the hole. First move the marker out to the distance for the power you wish to hit the ball. Turn in the opposite direction of the break, when the lines go flat and level, make a note of how far you turned away from the hole. Now turn an equal distance back the other way on the other side of the hole. This is where you start. You need to now adjust depending on speed of green and whether or not the break is a consistent breaker. This method is not a magic pill, but should get you making more putts. I have super system on my book shelf. So a right to left break, you would turn left until you see flat lines and then go to that distance on the right side of the hole? This is def not an exploit, just booms way of reading a green. If the game provides grid lines you cant fault someone for using them. |

Has anyone tried this putting tip on xbox? I tried to figure it out on firestone, but I'm not sure if my vision just isn't good enough but for the most part, I can't really even tell if the lines aren't flat/level (plus seems like if you're over 8 feet away, a lot of the gridlines kind of disappear)

I haven't read the tip at all, but reading from the opposite direction is common for TST play. If you watch pro golfers, some look from behind the hole on their putts. Again, this is a comment not reading what the tip is. Read and watch the tip. Its not looking at the putt from behind the cup, its looking at the green grids as an exploit, thats all, i just said i didnt like it, not trying to rock the boat, just found it interesting, and thought id comment. I look at the green grids closely on putts. I still won't look back at the tip. I worm cam it from the ball to the hole. Sometimes I just get an overall feel, sometimes I dissect it in sections and/or the break of each box (more for closer putts within 15 feet or straightish putts within 25 feet). All depends on my mood. |

Oh my god, did he say exploit, not exploit, oh no trump reference, lol, relax yo. Hit how ya like, it's working for ya, no sweat, but if the grid lines wouldn't straighten out, you wouldn't be lookin that way to putt, that is all, I'm done, last post here. Have a good day.

I can't even see them straighten out...no idea how to see that. But I do look at the putt from behind the hole and use the amount of break I see to assist in my line. I do this in real life too...then 3-jack!  |

Didn't work for me at all (at least not any better than me reading putts the way I do it now) I think by exploit it is meant that this isn't done IRL therefor you are exploiting a part of the game that doesn't replicate how someone would actually read a green. Personally, until they get rid of ghost balls, excessive loft, flopping from 10 ft, and numerous other unrealistic aspects of the game, who cares if there is another. |

I can't even see them straighten out...no idea how to see that. Use the bottom of your tv/monitor as a straight line, and follow each gridline box by box. You'll see if the gridline isn't straight, it obviously dips left or right by following it. Then you can see the proper break of each putt. That's how you see if it goes straight. Learn that, you'll putt better. You'll master all aspects of break quicker. Personally I go off reading it in a straight line to the hole, then going left/right as I feel the line should be. The break sometimes lies to you. |

Will give this one a try! Just recently discovered that the marker actually does something. I had gotten used to just adjusting power but then started following tips from HB Studios forum using the 1 in up/down = 1 ft up/down formula, placing 2 ft beyond hole as initial reference. I also feel that downhill is a crap shoot sometimes. I can miss a 5 footer and cringe when I miss the break and end up with a 20+ footer for par. What I did for a while if it is a consistent downhill, I would just move way off to the side for the break doubling what I normally would account for and then give it a little tap as if it was a 5 foot putt lol. It would then leave me usually with a 3-6 footer for par. I actually sunk a 30 footer this way on TPC Sawgrass and saved the replay as it took about 30 seconds to drop and I couldn't believe it. Find rule that if the beads are moving at medium speed and it's a 15-25 footer to move marker to just a tad past first vertical line on side and can usually sink it about 50% of the time if I get a solid stroke and don't miss by more than 1-3 feet otherwise. If they are moving slow then move it halfway between hole and first vertical line on grid. I try to trust my instincts and hope for the best! One thing that really helped me hit straight drives and approaches that I adopted which took 10+ strokes off my game as I would get the "greasy swing" quite often. I play on PS4 and found that if I stare at the thumbstick and not look at screen move 2-3 times back to get a feel, and then flip down, count 1 thousand one, 2 then flip forward as fast as I can I get perfect swings nearly every time that go to 100%. I will only get greasy swing if my finger slips. If I look at screen when I swing on drives and irons then it goes off center. Obviously for flops around green where I like to adjust backswing this doesn't work but being slightly off is more forgiving. Been new to the roll out game trying to work on the long irons and woods. Have trouble hitting the 95% mark when controlling backswing and end up with 80-90% so when there is a hazard in front will just go for 100% and then deloft and hope it doesn't roll off the green. Hate those 220+ Par 3s. Got the mid and short irons down to where I can stick the green consistently inside 10ft as long as winds are inside 10 MPH. I am all about the deloft and use formulas for wind and pull out the 'ol calculator (or actually my phone): Elevation: 3 feet elevation = 1 yard distance adjustment on club Wind Cross : 1 MPH = 1 yard adjustment and then adjust linearly when there is a head/tail factor in it based on angle Wind Tail: 1 MPH = 1 yard adjustment - wind causes extra roll Wind Head: 1 - 10 MPH: 1 MPH = 1 yard adjustment 11 - 13 MPH: 1 MPH = 1.5 yard adjustment 14 MPH+ = 1 MPH = 2 yard adjustment Roll out : Deloft the 3W/5W unless hitting into a head wind and pray it doesn't roll forever . If there is no hazard in front of green and pin is not in back try to hit it so it takes at least one bounce on fairway and run it up. Long Irons: 10 yards for tail wind, 5 for headwind Mid Irons: 6- 8 yards for tail wind, 3-4 headwind Short Irons: 2 - 3 yard for tail wind, 0 headwind Wedges: 1- 2 yard tail wind, 0 headwind I then calculate all these factors for total desired distance, select closest longer club and deloft to the appropriate %. The more I deloft the less I account for roll. I will say the headwind punishes deloft due to the magnus effect so if it is a strong headwind I sometimes try to club down and decrease the loft to cut into the wind. Was looking at this chart and wondering what your thoughts are: tgctours.proboards.com/thread/8151/secret-pros-roll-outThoughts on these approaches? |

"A forum must be the only place where you can try and do something good and get sh-it on by so many." Abraham Lincoln Is your practice green published where other people can play it? I have no idea how to make it. Never even looked at course designer before. Here you go mate. I did a real quick video showing you how to make BoomBoomsGreen in GNCD |
