Miss breakdown

When a putt misses, where does it go, and is that a speed problem or a line problem?

What it measures

Each miss with a recorded direction counts once, sorted into short, long, left and right. You pick the distance, and the compass shows the share for each side.
It needs 15 directional misses before it names a pattern. Below that, four misses in one direction would just be noise.
A miss recorded only as "missed" has no direction and is left out.

How it helps you

Short and long are speed. Left and right are usually aim or start line. Those are different fixes, so knowing which one you have saves whole practice sessions.

It shows when a problem belongs to one distance only. You can be fine from 3 ft and always short from 9 ft.

Classic and Basic record only made or missed, so they never fill this compass. Pick an option that records direction if you want this insight.

Examples, and what the coach says

Example 1

Most misses finish short

24 directional misses from 9 ft, from the Ladder Drill on Points and Putting Map on Direction.

Where misses finish, from 9 ft

How to read it

The longest arm points to your most common miss: 14 of 24 misses, or 58 %, finish short.
Left and right are about even, so the start line is fine.
A short miss can never go in, which makes this the most expensive pattern to have.

AI coachFocus: Speed from 9 ft

From 9 ft, 58 % of your misses finish short, and your left and right misses are balanced. That is speed, not line, so changing your read or your stroke path would not help.

Next session: Play your next Ladder Drill on the Never Short option. It costs a point every time a putt stops short, which makes getting the ball to the hole the goal.

Example 2

A one-sided miss

20 directional misses from 6 ft, from the Clock Drill on Points.

Where misses finish, from 6 ft

How to read it

One arm dominates: 13 of 20 misses, or 65 %, go right.
The Clock Drill plays every side of the hole, so slope cannot explain a miss that always goes the same way.
Short and long are small, so speed is not the issue here.

AI coachFocus: Aim and start line

From 6 ft, 65 % of your misses go right, on putts played from all around the hole. Misses this one-sided are usually aim rather than stroke.

Next session: Check your setup first: alignment line on the ball, then a Gate Drill session. If the gate contacts lean right too, it is your path and not your aim.

All numbers here are illustrative sample data, and the coach notes show the kind of advice you get. In the app, the AI coach reads all your putting data and gives you one focus with its reasoning, based on your own sessions. Each chart also has a one-line takeaway of its own.
