like how you added the fairway shot to it, I have something very similar but at the 30, 60, 90 scale. I tend to very rarely use the 15 scale for anything over 6 feet.

You could easily use the 15-ft meter if you just divide the 30-ft meter values by 2. An 18-ft putt on the 30-ft scale is the same amount of power as a 9-ft putt on the 15-ft scale.

Multiplying the 30-ft values by 2 would also allow you to remove the 60-ft markings on your meter, leaving only the 30-ft and 90-ft markings.

Up to you, though. *shrug*

To be honest, I created this early on when I started playing and for the most part you are right. I really only use the 30 and 60. The 90 foot scale is something that I have rarely seen the need for. Maybe it is just me, but the main reason I tend to use the 30 and 60 scale is that I find the less I have to raise the meter up, lets say 10 on the 30 compared to 10 on a 15 scale is the easier it is to ding when coming back down. The 30 foot scale is more precise but I do agree that revamping the 15 foot to show .5 or .25 scale might me a new approach....A redesign might be in the works.
