thanks for that gibby but i didnt understand it sorry

Some examples......note lies and distances


















The top of meter is obviously the power point, the last click is the difference in an explosion shot or more of a pick. In fairway bunkers, once the right club is chosen, get as close as you can to the 5 oclock snap as you can. Too soon and it's short, after snap it will sail over the green.

Good luck with your endeavors

Hard to get use to but,
1st column shows LW with +4 to -10, yellow line shows where to hit on your meter.
So if you need your shot to go 29ft, chose your LW select setup lower the slide 6 clicks down and then hit your snap at 9:00 and about 7:00.
2nd column same thing but at 6 clicks down and snap at 11:00 and 7:00 ball should travel 48ft

Like I said it's for 2001 you'll need to make some adjustments

thanks for that advice i must practice noe thanks again

for plugged lies around the green hit it about half as hard as you would for non plugged lie

Ya also might try blasting Kingy...try a LW and STOP swing before 6 O'clock-usually good for those up to 55 feet...w/o overswingin'-

kingeric , have a look at page 3 of this forum and the post " champ frustration " it has some suggestions re greenside sand play which apply just as much to ammy play as pro or champ.

( if I knew how to post the link I would )
