    I have a few guys at work that play too and they both asked me why do I always hit Reverse to putt.   I think I get a better look at it.  So my question is:  How many of you also hit the Reverse to putt?   Certainly I can't be alone in this.

    me2. When the angle's good it seems like a better read after hitting the space bar.

    I read most greens and set my putt up from the reverse view but i putt from the standard view.

    always use the reverse, its a known fact by now that reverse camera is far more reliable than normal.

    Reverse is the only way to putt imo, front view sometimes show break to the left and the ball goes to the right :S

    Some people say reverse angle is more reliable but I find that beads are more accurate in standard view.

    You have to look at both sides to get an accurate view of the putt in some cases.  However, I think it's a 'feel' thing per individual.  That said, I'm a reverse angle guy, especially when I hit the ball.  I want to watch what it does near the hole as it's dying.
