Putting Make-Rate Map

Define your own distance bands and log makes against attempts for each. This tool computes a rate only where you gave real attempts, never a guess.

Band	Made	Attempts

Band	Made	Attempts	Rate
0-3 ft	0	0	no data
3-6 ft	0	0	no data
6-10 ft	0	0	no data

Measured

No attempts were entered for any band yet.

Tradeoffs to weigh

A band with a small number of attempts can swing widely with a single make or miss; the sample-size warning flags this rather than hiding it.
This map only reflects the bands and attempts you chose to log, not every putt you actually hit.

Assumptions

Each attempt counted is a genuine hole-out attempt from the stated distance band, not a practice stroke you disregarded.

Limitations

This is not a tour or scratch-golfer benchmark; it only reflects your own recorded attempts.
A band with zero attempts shows no rate rather than an assumed value.

Counts before percentages

A make rate without its underlying count can be misleading: 100% on one attempt and 100% on twenty attempts are very different claims about how reliable that number is. This tool shows the raw made-and-attempts count beside every percentage so you always see both.

Your own bands

There is no single correct way to bucket putting distances. Some golfers want a tight band just inside three feet, others want broader five-foot increments. This tool lets you name and size the bands yourself, matching however you actually think about your putting.

Why a small sample gets flagged

A band with fewer than five recorded attempts is flagged as a small sample. That is not a reason to distrust the number; it is a reminder that a single miss or make in a small sample swings the rate far more than the same result would in a larger one.

What this does not claim

This tool never compares your rates with a tour or scratch-golfer benchmark, and it does not infer anything about your stroke or read from a low rate in any band. For a closer look at what happens on longer putts specifically, see the Lag Putting Analyzer, and for a full putting-evidence walkthrough, see Build Better Putting Evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this tool show the raw count next to every percentage?

100% on one attempt and 100% on twenty attempts are very different claims about reliability. Showing the made-and-attempts count beside every percentage keeps that difference visible instead of implying equal confidence.

What does a "small sample" flag mean?

A band with fewer than five recorded attempts gets flagged. It is not a reason to distrust the number, just a reminder that a single miss or make swings the rate far more in a small sample than in a larger one.

Does this tool compare my make rate to a tour benchmark?

No. It never compares your rates to a tour or scratch-golfer benchmark, and it does not infer anything about your stroke or read from a low rate in any band — it only tallies your own recorded makes and attempts.
