I could definitely see myself using the dart and the ball marker

Love this video the missus and I start each round with 15 mins in the net, then 15 mins on the green, a warm up is so important especially for us seniors.

Gaz, the PGA Tour average putts per round is 28.91. My putts per round average is 30.2. I don't use a line on the ball, don't want too either. I use the line(s) on my Odyssey 7. I'm not sure any training aid is going to improve me 1.3 strokes per round to get me to PGA tour average. What does help is that I actually practice putting beyond the 5-10 minutes before a round. My main focus is to take three balls and practice from different distances and angles to the hole. I don't putt from the same spot over and over. I'll finish my practice by having to make all three balls from 15-20 feet away. Can't leave until I do that. That makes you focus and teaches pace control.

What’s your handicap? I would say you’re already in the top 1%. I personally think the line is great for alignment, I’m not saying it’s going to help you anymore, but I see so many people stood over a straight put, and they’re not square to target. I even see this with myself someone’s when editing.

Dont get too hung up on putts per round average v tour, you wont be hitting the amount of greens they do so yours "should" be lower if thats the case as your pitch/chip puts you alot closer on average for your 1st putt than people that hit a high % of greens.

@@garymartingolf Gaz, i'm a 12 handicap. It usually goes down to 9 or 10 by the end of September. I'm 72 at the moment. Don't use a broom handle putter. Nor left hand low. Nor the claw or any other type of grip to putt. I had 31 putts today. One three putt. I usually play monday thru friday. What I do find that helps is a lightish grip, not choke the putter grip. On short putts, keep the putter face square to the hole when you follow through. And not be afraid to miss by 2-3 feet as I think I can make every one coming back. I have a 32" putter and stand close to the ball to get my eyes over the ball. Which is key to knowing you have the putter lined up with your target line. Works for me. 😁

@@garymartingolf I'm an AOP..lol. I've got time. But November to March is not much golf weather here. I'm a fairly decent chipper and putter. Normally play the White tees which are 6,000 yards. My son played today and wanted to play the Blues, which are 6,300 yards. I shot 85 with 29 putts. One 3 putt. Anyroad, been enjoying your vids and progress over the last 3-4 years.

I love the idea of the doughnut and alignment disk. The price is a little more at £12.99 + delivery at £2.10, so just over £15,than I'd want to pay though.

What is the rule on moving the lined ball marker, can you move it to get the line where you want if the ball isn’t on the green, I wouldn’t have thought that would be allowed.
@garymartingolf6 ай бұрын
I’m not sure what you mean. The ball would have to be stationary on the green before you can line the marker to the hole and then match the ball. You couldn’t do this on any other cut, unless a player asked you too, due to your ball interfering with their lie.

Interesting watch that. I've been working on a putting aid, first prototype almost finished and is working like I was thinking. Not an aid like those.
