Quick Question About Putting

  Let me say that I love this game.  It's not perfect, but I dig the complexities of this game. 

  I consider myself a decent putter only b/c most of my putts when they miss, barely miss; I'm always close, even from long range.  My question is:  Is there a secret to reading the green?  I'd really like to be able to master putting.

  Thanks in advance.

  I found that instead of trying to aim for a break if you purposely "pull" or "push" the putt in the necessary direction you get better results. Pulling a putt means clicking before perfect and causes a right to left break. Pushing a putt is clicking after perfect causing a left to right break. Kind of a lame way to do it but it helps.
