| ■Measure Green Information
(Uphill/Downhill, Slice/Hook) |
|
|
| *Simply
place the putter on the green to perform the measurement. |
|
|
*Determine
the distance to the cup yourself.
|
|
|
| (Try to
be as accurate as possible, |
|
|
| such
as by counting steps.) |
|
|
| *The
measured information is displayed on the measurement screen and the advice
screen. |
|
|
| step1 Measure upload/download. |
|
|
| Tilt
the putter toward the cup, place it on the grass, and measure the
uphill/downhill slope. |
|
|
| step2 Measure slice/hook. |
|
|
| After
completing the uphill/downhill measurement, rotate 90 degrees to measure the
slice/hook. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| ■Launch direction |
|
|
| 1) Compass Mode |
|
|
| After
the slice/hook measurement in Step 2, rotate the putter 90 degrees while
keeping it parallel, aim for the pin, and determine the launch direction. |

|
| ２）AimPoint method |

|
| |
|
|
| ■Advice (Putting Based on Collected Green
Information) |
|
|
| Each practice swing displays the
estimated putting distance.Take several practice swings to find the one that
matches or closely aligns with your intended distance.Then, putt in the
calculated direction using that swing.(This helps you land within a one-putt
range.) |
|
|
| After putting, the time taken from
setup to stroke (in seconds) and the actual putting distance will be
displayed. |

Green Speed |
|
|
| Stand
the device upright and enter the green speed announced in the golf course
master room in the settings mode. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| *Check and Adjust Green
Speed |
|
|
Check
the green speed on the practice green.
If the displayed distance is shorter than the actual putting distance,
decrease the green speed.
If the displayed distance is longer than the actual putting distance,
increase the green speed. |

| ■Step (1): Measure Uphill/Downhill |
|
|
Caution:
Placing the putter on the green automatically starts the uphill/downhill
measurement.
If more than 5 seconds pass after the measurement is completed, rotating
the putter 90° will not allow left/right measurement. |
|
|
| *Place
the putter on the green along the line from the ball to the cup, pointing
towards the pin. This will automatically measure whether the slope is uphill
or downhill.If you do not rotate the putter, continuous measurement is
possible.It is recommended to take measurements as close to the pin as
possible. |
|
|
|
|
|
Measurement
Result 1:
The slope is too steep to be measured. |
|
|
|
|
|
Measurement Result 2:
The measured multiplier for the putting distance to the cup. |
|
|
|
|
|
| If no calculation is
performed, manually enter the estimated distance by clicking the +/- buttons
up or down. The putting distance will be automatically calculated. Input
range: 0.5m – 30m |

|
|
| *Uphill/Downhill
Ends End of Uphill/Downhill |
|
|
If you
lift the putter while measuring, the uphill/downhill measurement will be
canceled.
The previously measured result will be cleared. |
|
|
| After
the measurement is complete, lifting the putter will end the process, and the
measurement results will be displayed on the advice screen. |
|
|
| *Measure
Uphill/Downhill Again |
|
|
| If you
place it down without rotating,the uphill/downhill measurement will start
again. |
|
|
| If you
rotate it 90 degrees and place it down, it will switch to slice/hook
measurement. |
|
|
| Back |
|
|
| |
|
|
| ■Step (2): Slice/Hook Measurement |
|
|
| |
|
|
| After the uphill/downhill
measurement is complete, rotate it 90 degrees and place it down to
automatically start the slice/hook measurement. |
|
|
| Note:If
the measurement is not complete and the putter is lifted, the slice/hook
measurement will be canceled.The previously measured result will be
cleared.For continuous measurement, perform the next measurement within 5
seconds. |

| ■Aim Point method. |
|
|
| Aim
Point is a method developed by Mark Sweeney for measuring the slope of
greens. It is a technique used by top players around the world. Many articles
about it are available online. |
|
|
| The
most difficult part of Aim Point is being unable to read the slope.
GreenCaddie, however, allows for reading the slope more accurately than the
slice/hook measurement. |
|
|
*The
slope value is a reference, and especially in the case of an uphill, it is
necessary to reduce the slope value to some extent. Accumulating a lot of
experience is essential.
The following diagram shows the Aim Point method with 3 fingers for a
slice. |
