I think as far as Stand n Deliver goes.....either u make the plant area larger or u do not allow run ups......as it stands now in the am ranks over half the throws in tourney play are illegal but never called
It's not called because 99.9% of the time being just outside of the intended plant area offers no advantage whatsoever. I'm sure it gets called when it's offering a distinct advantage over not being in the plant area box. This is the biggest reason why I'm a proponent of expanding the plant area instead of making everyone put their foot right behind the damn marker.
As far as using smaller targets, that should be something opted into by the open players. Amateur players will very likely be more and more discouraged to actually go for putts since their (read: my/our) consistency and range isn't nearly as good. Having more challenging baskets for pros at certain tournaments engineers difficulty, which I'm not a fan of, but at the same time the logistics of using different type baskets than what exists in basically every single course in the world isn't something to take lightly either.
