putting 101;
tip #1; the break in the last 5' of a putt is most important...for example a 20' putt that is a double breaker...slightly left breaking off the club with a slightly right break near the cup...focus on the break right at the cup....the speed of the ball off the putter will not allow the early break to alter the direction of the ball
tip#2; uphill putts break less than downhill putts...again, the speed of the ball on an uphill putt will negate much of the break until the ball slows near the cup....conversely, a downhill putt will roll slowly and be nearly doubly affected by the break.
tip #3; many players tend to not play enough break...if you tend to not ding your putts, intentionally miss the ding to the side that will help keep your ball rolling on the high side of the cup. (the old "never up, never in"
tip#4; remember to adjust for uphill and downhill when determining the power to apply.
tip#5; remember to check your max distance selector...learn to use the same distance selector for all putts within a given range...for example you might want to use the 45' setting for all putts less than 45'...this offers an advantage of repetition and familiarity.
tip#6; add 3' when putting from the fringe...it doesn't matter if the beautiful HD picture shows you 1" or 2' into the fringe...just add 3'.
tip#7; always click the reverse view...if the 2 views tell you the same break, fine...if not, play (line for) a compromise between the 2 views.
