  Ive been on holiday for two weeks and now ive come back we have super fast and super ultra green speeds and their slow counterparts ive used the old 0.75 calc for tourney greens which has served me well ive kinda realised super fast is 0.5ish does anyone have any percentages for all the new speeds as they seem a bit excessive i just had a 30ft putt roll back 80ft on a slope my gran could run up?

  The stimp indications are 2, 4, 20 and 40 IIRC. Go figure what the latter does to the putting CTTH! *grins*

  I can help with the super slow - on Oakmont #8 the long par 3, I was 34 feet away at 7 o'clock with 5 uphill, so 39 in total, I hit 84 slightly left and in it went.

   

  tbh if u mess wiv these speeds in ur CC then it will surely ruin ur judgment and putting stroke on normally paced greens, so I have sworn to avoid ever playing any tourney that has these ridiculous green speeds.
