A Compass and Your Hand? Originally Posted by Hennybogan I use the compass exactly the same for wind, Indio, etc. I use it as a reference for grain, but I prefer to rub the green for a truer test in areas where I anticipate pin placements.

I mark the grain in the book as a reference for wedges shots and full shots to help anticipate spin or skip. C'mon, guys. Where have you ever heard stuff like this? Determining and marking grain to anticipate wedge shot "spin or skip" into the pin? Again . . . C'mon. Hats off, HennyB.
