    I use WGT caddy and the percentages don't help me, however, it gave my a chance to be a math geek.

    This is what I came up with:

    Slow greens Distance +/- incline x 1.2 = strength needed

    Standard greens Distance +/- incline x 1 = strength needed

    Fast greens Distance +/- incline x 0.9 = strength needed

    Very fast greens Distance +/- incline x 0.84 = strength needed

    Tournament greens Distance +/- incline x 0.77 = strength needed

    Legend greens Distance +/- incline x 0.72 = strength needed

    Championship greens Distance +/- incline x 0.67 = strength needed

    Round up and you should be ok.

    Question about putting, if you need 18 feet are you better off using the 20 foot or 50 foot putter?

    Isn't this just simple arithmetic, just double the distance hit it twice as hard, or am I missing something?

    Its obvious your missing something.

    Yes. Your calc is basically creating a stimp. Just doing it a diff way is all.

    That's why I asked. I've never used this putter but I've used just about all of the others and I've never known a putter to be that linear. All the ones I've used use a larger percentage for small putts and a smaller for long ones.

    Many players choose even a higher meter, for me that putt i know is 20% of my 90ft meter. 

    The reasoning is that the longer your pull back your meter, the more chance it has to stutter. I putt with my 90ft meter most of the time, regardless of length, as it seems the most stable and I am generally 0-15ft to pin so i know it inside and out.

    Cheers,

    b0gey

    For me with the max putter and a female avatar, I would use 1 avatar movement with the 200 foot scale. Higher scales for putts makes for a shorter meter travel making it easier to ding. Many of us putt this way.
