Mr. Desmond

I have also read that some players, men and women, have their caddies do the midpoint read while they are checking out the putt from other angles.


Thx.

Saves time.

As stated previously, Lewis' issues on the last 2 holes looked like speed - they crawled to the hole and broke against her. At the same time, I was looking for fingers, so I mis-spoke.

Was trying to wrap my head around someone learning to drive in a parking lot and then it dawned on me, "oh, he means drive a CAR!" LOL.

Finished my AimPoint lesson 10 mins ago. Sold! Have never putted like that in my life (also nicely explained why 4+% reads on holes cause so much chaos, and are so rare). I could’ve spent £129 on

A belated thanks to @iacas for answering my questions earlier.

I just ordered the DVD.  I've taken the fundamentals class, I hopefully I already have the skills that are hard to learn from the DVD.  The clinics around here cost $200, though perhaps I could have gotten a better deal individually by skipping the introductory stuff.  Either way, its done!

The AE video came quick and I just watched it for the first time.  My initial impression is that it appears remarkably quick and easy.  I don't think the midpoint read took very long, but this is really fast.

I do agree with others that it might be hard to figure out if you've never taken an aimpoint class.  It seems a bit like voodoo magic because there's not a real good explanation as to why it works.  But I've seen enough to just accept that it does.  Can't wait to give it a try.

Does it matter much if the instructor is a "level 1" vs a "level 2" (or higher) instructor?

I'm considering taking the AimPoint Express X1 and X2 course.  Trying to figure out of if the schedule works for me (3 hour drive each way), plus the cost ($175), but I'm curious about what the instructor levels refer to.

It can. It speaks to the experience they have. But it's not something to which I'd give a ton of weight.

Just the length of time and the number of students they've taught.

Let us know how your course goes… enjoy it!

Higher level is more experience?

Yes.  But it doesn't mean that a lower level instructor can't help you.

Ready to get serious about golfing this year ... just committed to aimpoint, just need to work out the date/time with the instructor!! I am looking forward to it. I am taking it, because so many here recommend it ... oh and the fact iSuk at reading a greens ... I am the guy that thinks it breaks right only to putt and it and breaks left ... forget understand grain etc ... Now if I could get off my lazy ass and get a video ready for evolvr ...

If nothing else, get a video ready for a "my swing" thread. Once I did that once or twice, going over to evolvr was easy.

I did evolvr last year and you are correct @Shindig it was easy ... and I followed your recommend path of "my Swing" then on to evolvr ... want to start earlier this year ... just have to pay my setup fee again, then get started! My goal is to have my lesson with aim point arranged for this weekend ... at least that is my goal ... waiting to hear back from the instructor tomorrow.

Good luck!

If you have a good instructor you won't regret it.

Is a $100 the average cost? If it helps me to putt better its money well spent! God knows I have spent more on putters hoping by some miracle it would improve my putting.

I don't remember how much I paid but it was more than $100 do it sounds like you're getting a good price.

$125 is average for Level 1.

Also, this is relevant:

Mine's better. It's a screenshot from the iPad. :) Yours doesn't even have the word "AimPoint" visible! :-D

Biatch! :-) That's right, I'm bringin' back the late 90s/early 00s.
