Graphing putt break vs distance....anyone else do it?

  Does anyone else graph putt breaks vs distance, for each dot speed and green speed?

  I chart all green speeds on the same graph, using a different graph for each dot speed.  

   

  I am really bad at dinging, unfortunately, but the results are starting to be consistent,  deadly accurate to 12 feet.

  Down-side is needing 15 different graphs, (I time avg dot speed to cross the grid, in seconds, and have graphs for 3 to 8 seconds, then jump to 10, 12 14 etc up to 30 seconds)

  Anyone else do this?  Hopefully someone is as anal as I am?

  The main problem when counting the dots remains the same...which camera is the right one? Sometimes the right speed comes from the back camera others from the front.

  Nope x 3.  Seems like kind of a waste of time since the break (dot speed) varies along the line of so many putts.

  The only calculation I do is for distance (i.e. how hard to hit the ball). For breaks, I just sorta eyeball it and try to remember how the putt acted the last time I played that hole from that position.

  When I used to play a lot of ranked rounds, it was easier to remember. Now that I don't play as much, putting from memory doesn't work as well for me. 

  I'm still able to manage some decent scores. And every once in a while, I'm able to put up a really good round.
