Here are some tips to using putt preview. I really did not understand the entire concept until I watched some of my friends and their set up routines.
In my setup I would look over the putt, seeing if I was uphill or downhill, sloping left or right. I would then position myself and press putt preview. It would show me how close I was to the actual trajectory and whether the 100% putt would go farther or fall short. What I did not realize was that during my setup if I set the putting distance at less than 100%, putt preview would show me the path based on what I had set up. Now as part of my setup I adjust the distance as well as the angle. This has improved my putting quite a bit.
Here are a few more tips. Do you count the number of squares on putt preview your short or long on? They are in increments of 5 feet each. After you exit putt preview you can adjust your putting distance arrow to add or subtract how many feet you are short or long and read the percentage. For example, you have the 40 ft. putter selected and you set the arrow to 40ft. You look at putt preview and it shows you two squares or 10 ft. long. Exit putt preview and back off the putter 10 ft. to 30ft. The percentage below the 30ft mark reads 75%. That is what you shoot for on the power meeter. 75% is 3/4 of the way up.
If you are up hill all the way the putter selected will seldom do the job. Select the next lever putter before looking at the putt preview. The same is true for downhill putts. Back down one level before you look at putt preview.
Good Luck!

Tiger Woods 09 Vs. Wii Golf
When I first got the Wii I thought the games that came with it were great. I am old enough to remember Pong. My uncle got the Odyssey for his kids, really him, for Christmas. We were all fascinated to watch a cursor move across the TV screen and move a paddle up and down to hit it. How far we have come.
On to the Wii. I love golf. The Wii golf game was great for a basic game and it did highlight how well the controllers worked to simulate a golf swing. But it is the basic game. You play on one course. You make up a basic Wii character and you play. Me and my friends and family spent many hours competing playing golf and keeping track of the scores. My wife decided since we liked it so much she reserved a copy of Tiger Woods 09 All Play for Wii.
The game is a great golf game. I have not played Wii golf since. You start by creating your own character. You can basically create a character that looks very similar to your self. You buy your own clubs, tune your clubs, go to school on how to play with tutorials by Tiger Woods Golf Coach, and proceed to play your first game.
You can enter the Tiger Woods Challenge and play against professional golfers in different matches or go directly on tour and play your way through the amateur tour, get your PGA card and go on the pro tour.
There are many courses to play and you can increase the difficulty as you get better. It will take a long time to get through this game. You can also play as one of 26 different pro golfers if you'd like.
You dress yourself, pick animations for when you make a good shot or a bad one. You can slice and hook the ball, you can put spin on it, adjust the loft of your clubs, and also unlike Wii Golf you can chose any iron or wood in your bag, hit punch, lob and pitch shots. Switch between a chip, pitch or put if your close.
There really is no comparison between the two however that's to be expected since the Wii Golf comes with the systems and Tiger Woods is all golf. In my next post I'll talk about the problems with Left handed play.
