thanks for the replies guys, muchos appreciated

Had a lesson last night and got on the highspeed camera,...pro noticed two issues

1) i had srengthened my grip to the point the clubface never opened causing two varying results

1a) I release the club properly but the clubface was inevitably shut so a low hook was produced

1b) I didnt release the club, held the wrists and came through with an open clubface right into the follow through,...destination straight right

2) My swing plane for the arms was fine but i was dropping the club miles inside making me re-route it on the way back,...9/10 i got it back on plane, but the grip was ruining it

everything else such as alignment, tempo, impact position, weight transfer were really really good,.....

the best bit i took was whent he pro said "with the issues you've got the only reason you've been shooting mid 80's is cus theres a talented golfer in there somewhere"

so my grip has been moved to neutral, and im working on keeping the clubhead outside the hands, results werent immediate, infact only exasberated to teh right,....but after an few hours grooving i got it going really nice!!!

also learning that im more of a "feel" player than a "mechanical" player,.....still trying to figure out the true meaning of this but getting there i think

    • Hmm... didn't know that. Good to know. 
    • Yes, please, because if you said it was 20" but should be 10", that's a 10" error, but if it was 2" and 1", that's a one-inch error. Which is why… there is a different process for shorter putts (inside of about 6-8'). You don't really use your fingers anymore there. I misspoke when I said that you use the low edge of the hole. That's the old way. In reality, you don't use your fingers at all inside of whatever your crossover point is. That's not what he was doing there, no. He was just trying to see the slopes and tilts, not actually measuring distances and holding up fingers. His fingers were on the green. :D
    • This is the concept I wanted to be noticed. I can recheck the numbers to make them more accurate.  The closer you get to the hole, the more the height of the player affect the reading of the putt and the system starts to diverge from reality. Aiming to the low part of the hole in short putts is a way to patch the method so that it gets closer to reality. Only using it at ball heigth, as camilo villegas used to read lines, is going to give you the exact distance away from the hole to aim at.   
    • I stepped off 10' from a wall electrical outlet this morning when I read it and held up two AimPoint fingers at about stimp 10… and got a little over 8" (because I was 10' and not 9').
