A 6" putt. :lol: (Although I've been known to miss those too.)

Actually, the one shot, other than a short putt, that I know I can sink most of the time, is a 9 iron chip shot, uphill, fairly straight, just off the green, about 20' from the pin.


Never ever tried chip shots with a 9 iron. Not sure I have ever used other than a PW or LW for chipping! Different strokes eh!

I don't change the loft, and it's a quick 3 clicks for about 20', but I almost always hit the 6:00. I think it's just that I don't have time to think about anything, just click, click, click.
