Lining up a 9.2Ft down hill putt (2" down), I do my calculation, carefully position my putter and just as I am releasing the perfect eagle putt, the fscking caddy assigned to my game screams because he burned his fingers smoking from a crack rose.
WHY THE HELL does the game pick a 2x putter power when 1x is longer than the given shot? This is just asinine in my opinion.
Question.....Is it easier for you to hit the ding mark from your swing line being farther away from it or when it's closer?
Notice on the putter scale below if you took your 9 ft distance -2 for downhill and were let's say on a standard green would be 6ft. Look where the 6' swing distance would be on a 10 scale vs 20 = in this case apprx. 1/2 the travel distance.
Putter swings default to the next shorter swing scale distance for your putter = easier to hit the mark. Thats why it defaulted to the 20 scale. Exception to this is the freaking fringe putts.
