I’ve never seen this. I guess the girl is holding out her arms to better figure out slope?

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) That's just AimPoint. Like, original AimPoint. Mark Sweeney did this a dozen plus years ago.
B) The camera bump on modern iPhones can screw this up. 😄

Yeah I guess my "interesting" was less in its actual information and more in its shameless piggybacking

and if your case isn’t a flat surface the read won’t be correct.  plus a phone isn’t very long

 

just get a digital level and you can start to teach yourself how to feel the slope and angles and determine how much a putt breaks

 

that is the OG way aimpoint works.  liked it better than the new version

 

i basically have the aim chart memorized for stimp of 9 and adjust from there

Driver: :tmade: R11S (9 degree)
Woods: :tmade: R11 3 (15.5 degree) & 5 (19 degree)
Irons: :tmade: R11 4-AW
Wedges: :tmade: ATV 54 & 60 degree
Putter: :scotty_cameron: 2012 Newport 2
Ball: :titleist: ProV1
Rangefinder: :bushnell: Tour V2

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Chris Brooks · Posted

      Day 77 - 2026-03-09 Hour of short game work at a mostly-new-to-me practice green. Trying to get some variability. Also some slow swings at the net later in the day focusing on backswing.

      Now you may not agree with these but once you get the speed dialed, super fast, true rolling greens yield a lot more holed putts from 10-15 feet range = birdies. Also, the rough wasn't terribly penal. On a separate note, it seemed Berger tried to cash in on his lead. Didn't play bad or anything but you could tell dude had already blown his load the first two days. And then Akshay stepped up. I mean the dart for the eagle was ridiculous.  Fun watch in a long time.

      Day 1 (9 Mar 26) - starting up again with a week layoff due to travels.  Played with the men’s group for the Monday shootout.  Was good to play, had some rust especially the long game, especially getting proper weight shift.

      Day 204 3-9 Wrist arch through downswing and getting wider with backswing. Need to continue working on getting trail arm "reconnected" as it still seems a bit off with wider backswing.
