Getting Started
Robot Swing Golf PUTTMAN uses a putting method that controls the speed of the ball.
By replacing a putt that is based on how you feel to one that is based on numerical values generated, the accuracy of your putting will improve dramatically.
Apply value “1” for short putts, “2” for middle putts, “3” for long putts allows you to handle all types of putts.
Step 1 Set your stride length
In this web app, the distance between the ball and the hole is entered in steps, so you must first set the stride length.
(Please refer to the video and details on how to set the stride length)
Step 2 Memorize the distance corresponding to the green speed with numerical values
This web app displays the speed of the putting stroke in numerical terms, according to the speed of the green you are putting.
First, use this web app on the practice green of a golf course or on the practice green of a driving range to practice distance.
Before you start practicing, be sure to check the green speed reading of the green you are putting.
Click the “Practice Green” button on this web app. When the screen changes, select the green speed.
If you do not know the green speed, try selecting “9ft,” which is a common green speed.
This web app displays the numerical speed of the ball corresponding to the green speed reading and inclination. The unit is in m/s, but let’s just memorize the value without worrying about the unit.
When practicing putting, rather than improving your sense of distance to the hole or target, try to determine the numerical value for your putting stroke.
Try to learn and understand the values of the putting strokes that will give you the perfect distance for the number of steps indicated by this web app.
Short putt is “1”, middle putt is “2” and long putt is “3”.
If you are having trouble differentiating different types of strokes, try adjusting your stance width. Short putts should be narrow and long putts should be wide.
When you can distinguish between “1”, “2” and “3”, use them in your rounds.
Be sure to sort out these values during practice every time before you start another day’s game.
Step 3 Trust the values and try putting during the course
Once the ball is on the green in the golf course, measure the distance from the ball to the hole, either by walking or using a laser rangefinder.
Enter the number of steps and select the slope (Gradient). Since you may not know to what degree is the slope inclined at first, just select based on how you feel.
After entering the number of steps and selecting the incline (Gradient), the value of the ball speed will be displayed.
Putt at the number indicated by this web app. For values other than “1,” “2,” and “3,” try to imagine the values in between.
Under the simple display, since only three intermediate values “.3”, “.5”, and “.8” are shown, your putting stroke does not have to be exact.
At first, try putting, and have a grasp of the speed corresponding to the values.
For example, for a value of 2.5, one should imagine swinging the putter between “2″ and “3”.
If it’s 2.3, swing it “a little harder” than “2”, if it’s 2.8, swing it “a little weaker” than “3”, and continue to adjust the putt using your own sense of control.
This means putting for a value of 3.5 is a little bigger than “3”, and 4 is much bigger than “3”.
When the gradient is strong, the value produced by this web app can be quite extreme. Just have faith in the values and try putting the ball. As long as your putting stroke is consistent with the values, the ball will reach a certain distance.
As your experience points build up with each round, you will be able to putt according to the values and learn to use this web app in your own way, such as changing green speed, selecting the right inclination, and dealing with the grain.
Also, if you are looking for accuracy equivalent to that of a professional golfer, use a measuring device to learn about the ball speed.
Switching your ball speed display to detailed will help you get the most out of this web app.
