First of all, thanks for sharing your data i know there is alot of work behind it.
I guess with what your saying and i agree, i have to realize that my putting wont become so much better from now on forward.
I tested today from 30 feet and managed to get 82%. ( i putt inside in a training facility )
I have a theory about putting only from 30 feet, i think the practice is good, but mentally the 20 footers might be tougher because you dont spend anytime with thoose?
So at least having a few putts from 10 feet uppwards to 30 feet to have that mental security about shorter putts aswell.
Do you agree?
I think Philo was the one who said your hand shouldn't end up outside the chains anywhere in the circle. That doesn't work for me at the back of the circle (I reach up high as if I'm aiming to hit the band, then gravity brings it down enough...most of the time), but once I'm at 25' on in, that's true for me. No need for me to practice 10 or 15 footers at all. I think one winter I missed like 3 from 15 feet all winter long.
However, I warm up by putting all 20 of my putters from 20', then 25', then move back and keep my score for 100 putts at 30'. That gets me all I need from those shorter distances. Afterward I might goof around with some steppers and jumpers (I'm blessed to have 45' and a tall ceiling in my basement...) just to remember how to do them, but I'm not going to keep score with hundreds of them.
I respect the other gentleman's opinion about not practicing while tired. I agree with him if your muscle memory still needs work and you're still working on the form. However, with you hitting 75% and more, your form is probably pretty good, and fighting through some nerves and a little fatigue is good mental work. Those things will definitely happen in a real tournament, so you've got to know how to handle yourself when you don't have your "A" game at the moment. I've developed a couple of strategies from all the reps when I'm not feeling 100% that help me make a few I otherwise wouldn't, such as slowing down my velocity just a touch and getting more of a hyzer putt instead of my usual straight-at-it spin putt. When I'm on, the assertive spin putt is very good, but I'm often not on, and I'll miss to the right a lot if I try to putt too much pace on it when my brain is less connected to the rest of my body. It happens more often than I'd like.
Thanks for listening. We are on totally different career paths with you saying you want to be a professional, so taking my MA-40/MA-50 advice is worth the price you've paid for it.
One more thing...If you are able, hang around players who are better than you. If you want to be a pro, be with them. A lot. I am from the same area and era as Dave Feldberg and remember him, when he was just as bad as me in Am-1, deciding he wanted more than amateur mediocrity, so he followed the Winnicrew guys around (Todd Branch, Al Schack, and later, Avery Jenkins...) and learning from them. It didn't take long before he was getting real, real good. I was on his card in the second round of the '99 DGLO in Am-1. (He beat me by a stroke every 4 holes that round...) Just two years later in 2001, he tied for 5th at DGLO in MPO with Barry Shultz, Avery Jenkins and Todd Branch. A very impressive improvement for only 2 years. If you indeed have your heart set on being a touring pro, learn from them...in person.
