Putting Progress Review
Log each putting practice session with its format, distance band, attempts, and makes. This tool only compares a session against the prior one when the format and band match exactly.
| Date | Format | Band | Attempts | Makes | |

Enter at least one session.
Comparable by design, not by default
Comparing a make rate from a 20-attempt ladder drill against a 10-attempt random-distance drill would produce a meaningless delta; the two protocols measure different things. This tool only marks a session comparable when its format and distance band match the immediately preceding session exactly, and shows every other session without forcing a comparison that would not be honest.
Why sessions are never pooled across a change
If you change your practice format or your distance band, this tool treats that as the start of a new comparable chain rather than blending the old and new data together. Pooling non-comparable sessions would hide exactly the kind of protocol change that makes a "trend" meaningless.
Comparing rates, not raw attempt counts
Sessions with different attempt counts are still compared using their rates, not their raw make counts, since a session of 30 attempts and a session of 10 attempts cannot be compared by makes alone. This is what lets a comparison stay valid even when your practice volume varies from session to session, as long as the format and band stay the same.
Where this connects
Feed this tool from sessions you have already logged with the Putting Make-Rate Map, and once you have a solid putting record, move on to the Weekly Practice Plan to turn evidence into a practice schedule.
Recording the session details, not just the number
A rate alone is not enough to keep a chain of sessions comparable; the format and band labels matter just as much. Adopting a consistent naming habit, the same drill name and the same band boundaries every time you log a session, makes it far more likely this tool can actually chain your sessions together into a real progress record instead of flagging most of them as non-comparable due to small, avoidable naming differences.
Frequently asked questions
Can I compare a 20-attempt drill against a 10-attempt drill?
This tool compares sessions using their make rates, not raw counts, so different attempt counts are fine as long as the format and distance band match exactly. A 20-attempt and a 10-attempt session of the same drill and band are still validly compared.
What happens if I change my practice drill or distance band?
This tool treats that as the start of a new comparable chain rather than blending old and new data together. Pooling non-comparable sessions would hide exactly the kind of protocol change that makes a "trend" meaningless.
Why do some of my sessions get flagged as non-comparable?
Usually because the format or distance band label differs slightly from the prior session. Adopting a consistent naming habit — the same drill name and band boundaries every time — makes it far more likely this tool can chain your sessions together.
