Putting Still Needs More Work In 4.0 Update
Not sure if this was hot-fixed prior to the actual update, but lip-outs are way less. Getting a lot more lip-ins which are ok. Roll-overs seems exponentially less as well. Very few manhole covers i...

A honest question for all…
Have any of you actually put the putting stat up high?
Before seeing several people comment that it doesn’t have much impact on putting ability, I had my stat one off of full. After reading I lowered it, one lower than the last shield marker.
I feel like the only noted difference was the putting lines. When I lowered the stat, I started to find many lines were clearly wrong or utilized a crazy approach to the hole.
I just started playing again since the last update to the putting line and I have only missed two putts in four rounds. Those two were some stupid cup jumping that seems to tie into the lip in/out system which has some serious issues.
It doesn’t make sense that what I’m saying could be true based on how the stats are “supposed” to work, I know. But subjectively I feel like the accuracy in the putting lines has been affected.
I would welcome any thoughts or observations on this if anyone has any.
part of why I ask is because I am hesitant to lower my putting stat further, because of this. Someone please tell me it’s all in my head lol. I could use the skill points to top up other stats. 🙏🏻🤘🏻
@EdrickLee33 Yes I’ve tried this but it makes zero difference
As mentioned earlier the ONLY thing the putting attribute does is it makes you hit it straighter
It has zero effect on your ability to putt
None of the top players have hardly any stats in putting

- @agentputt Thank you. I appreciate your answer, and all of your posts on the topic. How many points do you use in putting? (If you don’t mind sharing)
@PalomaMarvel24 thank you as well.- @EdrickLee33 I used to have 4 but have 0 now as I use a Dualsense edge that is a lot less sensitive
I personally only apply enough skill points in putting to get access to the Texas Wedge. I think additional skill points just help keep your putting line straighter. If your execution is good this is not warranted.
I don't ever expect to 2 putt in this game. Once you get a sense of slope and break, you should be able to lag to inside 5 feet.
But there are the odd greens if you get in the wrong spot you will get some weird results
