Over thinking a putt doesn't improve my putting. I putt better when I don't over-analyze the putt

I voted for missed read. After three separate AimPoint classes, if I missed the direction of the break I should just give the game up.

Same for me. Usually it's those putts that have little or no side slope from the read but are long enough where you can miss by six inches.

None I know from keeping stats and experience what to expect. Random missed or made outlier putts don't change my routine. If I miss a short one I know it's an infrequent occurrence and if I make a long one or roll it just short I wasn't expecting it. Putting is so easy it's the one thing in golf I do with conviction.

All missed putts can be disheartening depending on the timing.  What really gets me is to leave a  putt short, especially one that is well read in the 5-12 foot range.

Well Stated dave... I have to agree.  I voted None,  and I was thinking of a very similar response.

    • Day 549, May 4, 2024 After lessons and working with Natalie, hit some balls for awhile. Just backswing stuff. Forgot about the slightly shorter stuff, though I'm sure it was as they were only about 75% speed with brief pauses.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
