This is true after pulling up the meter.
Let me add:
- It's perfectly o.k. to pull up and release without stopping the meter as often as you want. You may even save some time by decreasing it to zero before releasing the mouse button - nothing will happen.
Thus you can refresh the stroke's / putt's forgiveness margin.
- It's advisable not to hurry a stroke. The Flash application takes a few seconds - 5 to 15 usually - to finish activity on each shot and after changing clubs and moving the marker. After that time the meter may be smoother.
