I am confused how this makes putting more accurate and timely on the course while you are playing. All the descriptions seem to use the app. Can you use the App on the course? How can you read the present slope on a green you have never played and make the correct read. I am all for ways to make reading the greens more timely and accurate, but confused on how this works in a tournament setting. Thank you.
Understand. Here's my explanation. You cannot use the app on the course. You use the app to learn how to quickly read the amount of slope on any course...even one you've never been on. Once you know the green speed, the amount of slope and the length of the putt Tour Read has a simple math calculation to know the exact starting line for your putt. It works quickly and accurately. The Problem is Tour Read asked me not to share the On Course part of their system on UA-cam...fair enough since he wants to sell the app he created.
I have the TR app and it’s great. Would this method work well with a green reading book? Seems like the book would give an exact slope (so you don’t have to ballpark it by trying to feel it), and then you determine the break based on slope/distance/stimp
New rules say no measuring device or book created by a measuring device. Players may create their own book, but only with information from what they can observe, and feel without a tool. So they are now walking the course looking and observing and feeling on the course. Of course they use the Tour Read app on the practice screen to calibrate eyes and feet
Just the opposite. It teaches you to be fast and accurate. And the accuracy reduces 3 putts which speeds up play as well. Certainly the learning takes a little time on the practice green but it is super fast on the course and you’d never know what a player was doing to read the greens so well
Not available on Android phones. Bummer. Sounds like a great learning tool. That said, my slope-reading ability has not improved as a result of having a range finder that can do the calculation automatically. I have a watch that corrects for wind and elevation, and similarly this has made me lazier about making these estimations myself. That said, sometimes I disagree with my AI caddy so I'm probably still learning as I try things my way or the caddie's way.
Understand. And I can do a live demo of Tour Read but it would be a silent movie. I have an agreement with Tour Read not to share their on course method on UA-cam. I get that people don't like that, but if I give away the secrets on a UA-cam video, he won't sell his app and product and he invested in that and created it so he deserves to earn from it. In my online course on Green Reading I do teach 8 different methods of green reading along with tons of other teach on green reading and speed control...over 50 video lessons. johnevans.graphy.com
I can't even begin to tell you how much Tour Read has improved my green reading...It is incredible.

So just to clarify, you can use tour read on each hole while you are playing, is that correct?
You use the app to learn the system, and then the on course method you can use on every home. Then use the app to warm up and practice
Doesn’t seem to come up as an app in Europe on apple App Store?
I’ll ask about this and get back to you

Yes. Of course the greens books are now not legal for tournament play
@@misteroneputt the StrackaLine green books aren’t legal?

Technically the carts with GPS showing green break aren’t legal in a competitive event.
@@misteroneputt My understanding was that only touring pros couldn't do that. But amateurs can have maps even for tournaments and such
Sounds like it could slow play.

It is available next month on android
Thank you for the info. Would have preferred a live demo of tour read rather than the bla bla bla. Thx

Only Apple phones.
Correct currently but Android is coming I’m told
@@misteroneputt I hope so, but if other vendors are any example, it could be years
Coming next month to Android
@@tourreadgolfI don't see it in the app store.
