I', fine with putting in MASTER - I putt by feel and so far I have no complaints. No "%" no "meters" no stupid "vibration" putting is not a big deal. I even created 18 holes of different putting lengths and can change the speed to get the feel which I'll publish soon.
EXCEPT - those 5 foot side hill breaking putts are KILLIN ME! Give me that same putt from 10 feet and I'm gold but 5 feet? So freaking delicate I can 3 putt with ease LOL
I'm afraid to ram it in and I SEEM to go over the top more often than below. I feel below I would then get more and an up hill come back. Maybe that is the key - if I miss miss on the low side.
Thoughts?

I feel below I would then get more and an up hill come back. Maybe that is the key - if I miss miss on the low side. Thoughts? Was thinking the exact same thing last night after playing a couple of rounds. I agree I find the shorter harder breaking putts more difficult to judge than the longer ones. Seems to be more variance in the break than on a longer putt. I tend to "under hit" and let the ball miss on the low side as you say rather then hitting too hard because I'd rather not miss on the way back which I can do with ease!  Esp. on the hard breaking downhill putts, ref. Crystal Downs. I love Crystal Downs however as it places such a premium on where you put the ball in relation to the hole. It's always how another great MacKenzie track just around the corner from me (Royal Melbourne) should be played when the greens are firm and fast. Keep the ball under the hole or else! Drive for show putt for dough! |

I was talking to a friend IRL golfer about this issue and he also thought to NOT miss on the top side. If I miss go under the hole so there is more of an uphill comeback shot. It’s like all greens. Pick where you want to miss IF you miss.

Try changing the camera angle, I’ve found short putts easier when looking from a slightly raised position

Try changing the camera angle, I’ve found short putts easier when looking from a slightly raised position I've been doing this as well with some success. It also seems to me that the beads move slightly differently from that angle and I get a more accurate feel for it. Could be an optical illusion, though. |

Imo dot speed seems to slightly change for the length of different putts. For my method a 40% flow at 6-8F acts more like a 20-25% flow, while what should be a 40% flow at 22F acts more like a 60%.
So for 10F and under putts I think the majority of putts break much less than they did from 2019, while medium-long putts break slightly more.

Just tap it in...taaaap it in... True that - I RARELY come up 3 inches short on a 5 foot putt. I only come on 3 inch short on 25 foot putts. |

Don’t decelerate. Do a slow and soft backswing but don’t baby the downswing. You really need a somewhat aggressive down swing on every shot in the game including the touchy putts inside 10 ft

After going 8 rounds on the tours without a miss had two of those side hill misses. Grrrrrrrr. Both 4 foot benders. LOL. The first was an aggressive miss over the top and the second was a timid miss under. LOL. Surprise.

Did you publish your putting course in the end as I’d be interested to practise on it if you have please? |
