  Wow, my post is being held up as an example to others.  Thanks Jim.

  Denn, I think the problem is that people see you blaming VEM for every shot that doesn't go where you aim it.  This may well not be the way you're thinking but I think some of us see you looking for a scapegoat and you've chosen the obvious but, in this case, wrong one.

  That was a very nice post.

  Denn, MainzMan is very very good so any advice he gives you is like totally worthwhile!

  I would love to learn more about getting better.  Hopefully I'm not as dumb as some on here may think even though I finished university 40 years ago

  Some helpful reading. If you were a programming manager you shouldn't have any trouble understanding these informative threads.

  Sgt Bilko's explanation.

  MainzMan's

  Eternalspirit's

  There is also a very good explanation of VEM written by very good former player WGTniv.

  I think Sting's talking about the post Nivlac made as WGTNiv about how the game works and deviation. I went looking for it and stumbled across this old thread (Jan 2010) when VEM was first discovered. Interesting reading. MisterWGT weighs in on page 4.  :-)

  WGTPizza weighed in on a direct question about VEM here.

  I think you're right Jim, the "WGTNiv circle of precision post" is all about how club's precision rating generates deviations from where you aim.  Its not about VEM

  I think I know now the reason why 2 to 3 out of 10 shots with my 60y cleve falls short at least 15y when I aim at 45y for a 40y hole at st andrews first hole... And I get water.

  Those shots felt like I was in 30-40% lie rough, when I was on the fairway. I love those wedges, except in those situations that felt wtf...

  I play st andrews a lot to lower my average. And hole 1 really feels like there's no trick to it.

  Those cleves allow me to get lots of under 3y approaches, regardless of wind as I feel the adjusments I make work.

  So when with no wind, that glitch started to appear, it really felt strange. I'm now very sorry to understand where it seems to come from.
