Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters - Putting Tips

[ODSTD56]

Me and Putting w/ Three Click = No chance of sinking the ball

Me and Putting w/ Putt Meter = Awesomeness

Me using 3 Click for everything else = Awesomeness

Me using Joystick = No idea how much percentage

Someone help me.

[kenbizz518]

Bring back the old putting!!!! I want the ft n inch!!!

[Lisatisfaction]

Good job on trying to explain putting to people looking to improve, cccgulper. Like I said in the forums, I wouldn't be able to explain how I sink everything. Its just practice practice practice. ~ Lisa Cool Babe

Where the hell do you get your mathmatics at? Either your missing something in your explanations or you dont know math. You cant back off 10 percent and add 20 percent because that throws your angle all off. I have done this exactly as you have displayed but to no avail. I believe you are using a gameshark to accomplish this task.

[hinkypunk9]

Can anyone help me? I've been attempting to use this technique, however it has extremely inconsistent results. I do it exactly how it is in the video, deduct or increase the length depending on if its down or uphill, then reduce the percentage according to the speed of the green. Sometimes however, the putt will be either way to fast, or way to slow. Why is this?

[shaggyrocks792]

@hinkypunk9: The easy answer is you're missing the hole....no matter what the speed is, you gotta hit the hole.The ball ain't gonna roll an extra five feet if it goes in, is it? Another thing could be which course you are playing. Another flaw in both the game and this formula. Different courses have faster rolling greens than others, and some slower. The break could do it too. If you have to hit farther up a hill to get the right line to the hole, you're gonna need more power.......

what i do, when the circle is Green or Red, i aim the marker in the center of the circle

when the circle is Yellow, i aim the marker around the edge of the circle

works most of the time

[welshwalsh]

nice1 man.made this game worth playing.your system works great.

[jackdarip27]

nice job man helps alot

[METASEARCHUS]

Some people love to slam others wow let it go people .Are we in math class ....

[scarman12345]

That formula doesn't work on Predator....or others with huge hilly greens



[Mechanicmanmccc74]

the 3 dislikes are for retards who dont know math!

[TheBusiness55]

And hang on - the maths don't make sense.

In the third putt, Fast Greens, you said take off 30% off 27ft... 10% of 27 is 2.7... 3 x 2.7 = 8.1 so 30% off 27 is = 18.9, but in the video you aimed it at 22 ft which is about 20%.... WTF?

[TheBusiness55]

What about a metric formula for us living in the rest of the world?

Maybe EA just made the putting mechanics around U.S Imperial standards, forgetting about the rest of the planet?

[TheBusiness55]

I have to say, I'm not a fan of the putting mechanics of this game. On slow/soft greens you should have to hit the putt harder, not softer. It doesn't feel natural or intuitive.

I've got Tiger 02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09 but not 10 or 11..... when did this style of putting come in?

[jzizzlely]

and how do you calculate how many feet to move it forward or back

[jzizzlely]

how do you know what speed it is?

[manasser]

Amazing video, very well done! i just have a couple of questions: How do you know how far to the right or the left to hit the put (or is that about the "feeling" you were talking about)? And secondly, how come sometimes I can't use the putt preview (it won't allow me)? p.s, how did you figure all this out (like the percentages?)

Well done again!

[WTFxSAUCE]

Great tips and video. Very helpful. Keep up the good work.

[sluharry12]

the percentages to deduct is so huge. Thank you. Why do slow and average still require a deduction?

[ggbizz]

How do you judge when it's raining?

[volcom204]

nvm man even if it says its going to go 10000 miles away from the hole even if the marker is over the hole it still goes in you would think that be to much power and the ball would jump the hole but not on here lol.

[volcom204]

I'm at a loss on this man help. My ball on green is lvl no slope to the pin is 25ft average conditions so I take 20% off right that be what 5ft so go down to 20 then judge on where what ball is going to go but when I do putt preview it shows that my ball is going to go like 30ft way from the hole even if the marker is going over the hole. So am I doing my math wrong or what I do suck at math lol

[CircusNormal]

Dont really get the percentage bit???

10,20,30% off what, the original distance?? Not that clear to me!

And where does is state the green speed??

Sorry if im being stupid. Please help.....

[jhh7275]

@CircusNormal i dont have this game so i cant help u with stating the green speed but u take the percentages off the distance after u add or subtract the distance if the putt is up hill or downhill so the percentage is NOT off the actual distance to the cup.

[cccgolfer08]

@CircusNormal figure the distance you would like to hit it based on elevation first. Then take OFF 10,20,30% of it...so on slow greens, if you want to hit 10 feet, take off 10% and hit it 9 feet. and to find the course conditions, click start and go to your caddy book

[donkeyharlequin]

@CircusNormal

First take in to consideration the amount you need to hit to the hole with elevation. So if it is 5 inches above then move the marker 5 feet past the hole.

Second take in to consideration the green speed which you can find in the caddie notebook. Deduct the percentage for slow (10%) medium (20%) fast (30%) tournament (40%).

You will ALWAYS deduct the green speed. Even if the hole is below you and you are already pointing before the hole.

[Division1Sales]

Can't get over how much this improves my game!!! Thanks so much!!!!

[w1Leh]

Out of interest is there a rule of thumb for drizzle/wet conditions as well?

[TN79]

how do you move the arrow?? ive pressed every button i cant move the yellow arrow to aim in the circle

[cccgolfer08]

@TN79 you need to press circle (b for xbox) to go to caddie (zooms out to the hole) and from there you can move the yellow arrow by using the d-pad

[popculturetherapy]

Bravo for posting this! I don't how or where you got the inch to foot and percentage rates for this game, but dam if there not perfect. I was going crazy trying to find/figure out some kind of system for the putting in this game. I easily missed 95% of my putting. After your info here I now land 95% of my putting. Showed me how the putting engine in this game is extremely faulty unless you know these rules and is the deciding factor in whether you'll be able to play and enjoy this game or not..

[DreadX22]

how do you know the speed of the green ?

[cccgolfer08]

@DreadX22 sorry for the late response..you need to click the start button when in game, and go to caddy book, the green speed is the course conditions speed

[melvind02]

Enjoyed the putting tips!!!! Hopefully I will make more putts now... Thanks for your hard work!!!!
