  Happens loads, for me if i'm over 9ft the 20ft putter comes out every time, what's worse is if the putt is downhill often I'm aiming 6 or 7 foot and I have been known to forget about checking the putter increment.

  I just think that my caddy is a Crack smoking incompetent SOB and that I have to check EVERY shot, because if I didn't think that I'd have to consider WGT's competence.

  Not defending the caddy, but you have a nice putter although it does need that extra ooomph inside 10 feet.  

  A 20 foot scale is less travel back to ding than 10, and I personally prefer that.  With your putter I would be setting that scale to 100, and 150 feet not much over that, but that's me.

  I also recommend using a scale that minimizes the length of the putting stroke as an aid to putting accuracy.

  If I want to hit a putt with 10 feet of distance strength, I use the 100 foot scale and a 10% stroke length.

  For a 7.5 foot putt stroke strength, I use the 50 foot scale and a 15% stroke strength.
