  Consider V.Fast greens as hitting 20% less than the distance indicated.

  Tournament greens are approx 25% less, if you have a Legend in the game, then the greens become Legend Tournament and use 30% less than distance.

  Distance = after calculating, wind and elevation

  from +8/10fts subtract 3fts of power meter than you use on very fast greens, and add a little more break, practice doing that and you will finish fine tuning your formula according the way you putt.

  I use distance divided by 4.5. Add one foot for every 3 up. Subtract one foot for every 3 feet down. As you get further from the hole on down hill putts you just have to get a feel for how much extra to subtract. There are also tourney greens and legend greens. For the faster greens I use distance divided by 4.3. There are many ways to get it done but math is the only thing that works for me. Also get one of those SGTBilko putter helps. It can be found in the forums. Enjoy.

  Also you will have to subtract the amount you divide by 4.5 to get your number. this will usually get you  between 1.8 and 2.3 feet past the hole. Remember to always be above and beyond the hole with your putts. Short putts never go in.
