WGT Mobile: Short Putts that Everyone Hates

[@adamsasso1]

Thank you, Babz! This is EXACTLY what I was talking about. You make it so much simpler than what I've been doing with counting dots and half-cups and green speeds (and often missing anyway!) - I have a feeling I will be watching this video a few more times. Really appreciate it!

[@Babzilla33]

You got it sir!

[@adamsasso1]

@@Babzilla33 just one quick question to make sure I understand something: are you taking 25% off the distance on these putts to compensate for the 12-speed greens or not? Sometimes it seems you’re not…

[@Babzilla33]

I’m not taking anything off the distance with these putts. I calculate them all the same. What I’m simply doing is getting an idea of where my starting ram point is with the given distance/elevation, then make modifications to it depending on green speed and the extra 5% power in adding

[@adamsasso1]

@@Babzilla33 gotcha - that’s what I thought. Thanks again!

[@Babzilla33]

Fun chatting with you tonight!

[@gerryscott6223]

This is exactly what I needed. I have missed so many short putts. Thanks

Here for you brother!

Great putting help here n in previous video. Great to have things explained in-depth thank you 🙏

Cheers mate 💪🏻

Brilliant thanks Ross, as always clear and concise

Ty Steve. Keep up the strong work!

I Truly love WGT Golfing and I love all these Videos. TY While all of this is over my head, I'm finally starting catching on your Off Ding Logic, and... I'm actually reading the green, before I shoot. (Wow) Your videos are always exceptional, with Amazing Graphics! // * Without being condescending * If you created a video about "opening a jar of peanut butter... " It would be enjoyable to watch)) 😀

Great vid and so simple to practice. Ty I struggle with aim badly.

Cheers mate!

[@craigmcalister1791]

Great informational video. Do you take the same approach with different speeds as well? Thanks again brother.

[@Babzilla33]

Different greens speed would require a slight variation. For instance I may add/subtract less elevation to/from the distance if the green speed is slower. So 12 greens with a 7ft down 2in putt would be “9” Jc sneed. But on 8-9 greens I would maybe only call it 7. The key factor is what your eyes begin to learn about the green and how it responses to the putt.

[@adamsasso1]

You know what screws me up? If I was calculating that Pebble Par 5 (10:56) - 6.1ft, down 3.4 in - I would take 6.1 - 3.4 = 2.7 then adjust for the green speed (x .75 for 12 spd) and get 2.025, which is only 13.5% of the 15 meter. Your initial number is just 2.7 (18% of 15 meter) then you ADD another 5%. Now wonder I'm always hitting beneath the break! Should I not be bothering with the .75 for 12s, .69 for 13s, etc?

[@Babzilla33]

Generally what my putt distance formula looks like is this: (((7.9/green speed) x distance) + elevation) +2.1 This gives me a pretty firm putt % to start with. Because my mindset in this scenario is ramming, I choose to add the 5% power to the putt. However I have to understand that this will eliminate a good portion of the break. So by learning the tendencies of the green over time, I can judge how much aim to reduce for the extra power. I’ve always been a firm putter because I don’t want the ball to fall in the hole, I want it to go 1-2 feet past if I miss. This allows me to utilize break and with the mindset of aiming on the high side, I can increase my odds of making putts.

[@timhill1879]

Please excuse my ignorance but I am not familiar with how the adding or subtracting is giving you the break offset. With your technique how wide is a full grid?

[@Babzilla33]

I am essentially using JC Sneed values, where half a grid (first line) is 10, then full grid is 15. This is a quick method of practicing short putts when someone doesn’t feel like counting dots. So I add the 2 values for downhill, and subtract for uphill. I make a final decision based on the line I see. Improving green knowledge is the key

[@timhill1879]

@@Babzilla33 Thank you sir. So a half grid is 10” and full grid is 20”… a useful piece of information as I was under the impression a full grid was 24”. Thanks very much.

[@Babzilla33]

In terms of JC Sneed which is what I use, only the first line is 10. Then 1 full grid is 15 (aimer in the middle of the box to hole in the middle). Every subsequent “line” thereafter is 7.5. So it would go like this: 10,15,22.5,30,37.5,45,52.5,60. Half, 1 grid, 1.5 grid, 2 grids etc etc

Great helpful vid Sir

[@zachjohnston1392]

Hey babz. U might have already mentioned this but how are you so quick to know how much power to hit it!!?? I’m understanding where to aim but not power

[@Babzilla33]

Hey buddy. Are you referring to putting power or approach shot power?

[@zachjohnston1392]

@@Babzilla33 that would be putting power? Don’t u get that by distance then plus or minus elevation then times the green speed which tournament is .75 or do you get putting power another way?

[@Babzilla33]

This is the formula I use to get my adjusted distance. (((7.9/Green speed)* Distance)+ Elevation) + 2.1 Once you have that number, divide it into your putt meter increments and you'll have your power %. This can easily put into a sheet so every time you change the green speed, the power will change with it.
