Hey Juan.  Just wondering where you are on this putting journey.  The book has been very helpful, by the way.  Also, I had no idea how difficult it was going to be to go from 1 degree of rotation change to .1 degree of rotation change.  Using the blast also, but man that is a lot of work!

I am continuing on my journey....   For Christmas I got a 13 foot Wellputt putting carpet... I have it in my garage, and am practicing hitting into a Putt-out to work on my distance control and line.    I will be taking my rulers and Blast  Motion out to the garage for practice now that the Holiday season is over.   Blessed to have a 3 car garage so some of the bays/areas is just for my golf practice. So the journey continues. 

Making changes to one's putting stroke is not as easy as people think nor is being a good putter.  The average PGA touring pro spends 7-10 hours a week practicing PUTTING!!  And these guys are already good.  People just do not realize how much work it takes to be "great on the greens!"  I hope you are enjoying your journey, though I know it can be maddening at times.  However, once you make and sustain this improvement.... your performance on the greens should improve as well as your confidence.

BTW, Cameron McCormick works with his players to get about a average of .5 (open or closed) at impact, so when you get there you are doing GREAT.  Cheering you on from Florida.

Also, I am out on the range working on my full swing a lot, just have stopped participating in the 5 Minutes a Day practice thread, since I found it time consuming, and boring for me.

I might get one of these. I have been looking for this, but did not know who made them. Thanks. Did you get the black or green version?

PS, I got you book and tried the assessment. I had some trouble finding a long enough surface on the practice area at my old home course. Just moved so maybe I can get the space I need at the new club.

Good luck with your new obsession.  I am now 4800 putts into a 10,000 putt odyssey to get better.  I also use the Blast Motion swing analyzer and a wellputt mat.  Juan is absolutely correct..changing your putting stroke is difficult and time consuming.  I know that, in order to improve to the level that I want, that it is a necessary change.  I am willing to spend the time and energy to see just how good I can get.  Besides..it is fun...a little aggravating sometimes, but fun.

I got the 13 foot green one... listed as 2020 in their website.   Green just seemed more natural for me.

One challenge with the 13 foot one, is that it is 13 feet, so my garage has a little slope to the concrete surface... so were it is laying right now.  to make a putt the length of the mat, I have about a 3-4 inch right to left break!!!  Other than that the mat itself is great.  

Send me a PM on how the assessment goes if you would like... and we can message back and forth about it.

LOL, I just moved from central Ohio to 15 miles south of Buffalo, NY. Went from a 7 month golf season to a 6 month season. Trying to come up with a nice indoor practice area in the basement.

    • Now lets consider if Hogan played during an era in which more than 500 people on the whole planet played golf. 🤣
    • Let’s consider then if Tiger hadn’t had all those surgeries then too. I’m thinking 21 majors and about 100 total PGA victories against much stiffer competition.
    • No. Nicklaus, Woods, Hogan Through Age 43.xlsx - Google Sheets   Hogan got hit by a bus head on collision February 2nd, 1949. Prior to that, in his career, here  are his career totals/rates: Tournaments: 227 (19 per year) Cuts: 214 out of 227 (94.3% cut made rate) Wins: 51 (22.5% win rate- 6.4 wins per year) Runner Ups: 37 Thirds: 23 Top 3%: 110 top 3s (227 tournaments entered)- 48.45% After the accident in Feb 2nd, 1949: Tournaments: 73 (3.6/year) Cuts: 71 of 71 (100%) Wins: 13 (17.8% win rate- 2.1 wins/year) Runner Ups: 7 Thirds: 4 Top 3%: 24 top 3s (73 tournaments entered)- 32.87% He was only able to play in 300 tournaments, career, because he got hit by that bus. Nicklaus was able to play in 578 events. Hell even Tiger got to play in 378 events.   Woods, Nicklaus, Hogan Through Age 43: Majors: Jack: 92 Majors Played 18.4% Win Rate 48.9% Top 3 Rate 58.7% Top 5 Rate Hogan: 37 Majors Played 24.3% Win Rate 43.2% Top 3 Rate 54% Top 5 Rate Woods: 84 Majors Played 17.9% Win Rate 30.9% Top 3 Rate 38.1% Top 5 Rate   All Tournaments, Through Age 43: Jack: 417 Tournaments  17.0% Win Rate 38.1% Top 3 Rate Hogan: 254 Tournaments 24.8% Win Rate 51.2% Top 3 Rate Woods: 358 Tournaments  23.1% Win Rate 36.6% Top 3 Rate Now, let’s consider if Hogan wasn’t nearly paralyzed getting in a near fatal car accident at age 35…… Oh and, of course, he also missed 3 prime seasons in WWII.
    • With scratch being a highly sought after goal, what are the realistic chances of reaching said goal after age, 30, 40, 50, etc...? 
    • LIV made a big mistake scheduling an event this week. A lot of the top LIV players are eligible to play on the DP World Tour and they could have been playing at the Scottish Open this week with the top players on the PGA Tour. It would have been a good chance for exposure outside of the Majors. Nobody watches LIV golf.
