Flawed putting dynamics.

  On a very fast green (10.0), I have noticed today flaws in the putting dynamics. I have very precise equations for calculating putts on a 10.0 green; regardless of uphill or downhill: I know exactly how much power to use. However, today on an 11 ft. slighly uphill putt with a good few feet of break, I noticed a problem: I used exacly the right amount of force for the putt to complete the arc, and end up very close (if not in) the hole; but, the putt ended up almost 4 ft on the far side of the hole. In order for this to happen; because the line of the putt is a curve; I would have had to used enough force for the putt to go at least 18 ft. in the direction, which I putt it: this was not the case. Has anyone else noticed such flaws with the putting dynamics programmed into this game?

  You have decent equipment, a nike ball and "precise" calculations; but sit as a tour pro?..Remind me never to play a match game against you with anything on the line.

  No. But I can't wait to read the next thread you start. 
  
  Of course, at some point, I'll probably feel bad about reading the threads... you know, the same way I feel when I see the pictures of people clubbing baby seals. They're so defenseless, and one feels bad for them.

  Until then...

  User error. Say you have put 17ft to pin, 4in down on Fast green leaves you with 13ft to hit to. Caddy suggested you use the 30ft putter. So you did all your calculations then the you're ready hit that percentage on to watch your put go way past the pin. Oops, forgot to change to the 15ft putter. Oh hell! ~hangs head~ How could I be so stupid. LMAO j/s

  Or, as we say in racing, some days you eat the bear, and some days the bear eats you.

  Yo Robert...that's a hot topic on Canuckland's east coast. I kinda feel bad for the seals..I also feel bad for the fisherman trying to earn a living, while the seals are eating all the damn fish...hell, I feel bad for all of them...even the fish.

  I don't feel bad for an arrogant level 60 Tour Pro, with decent kit and lousy stats... BSing how his calculations are "precise"..

  The popcorn looks good though..:)

  I don't eat popcorn much, instead I'll sit back with a long drink.

  despite the replies it has happened far to many times where a shot that normally does one thing just outta knowhere does somethig totally diff especially when going along nicely i even notice that when missing the ding by a pixel or 2 results in massive alterations to the landing spot when i am on a low score....even today playing 2 rounds on kiawah isalnds the 2nd hole par 5 1st round had 50yrds to pin hit a 80% (48 yrd) shot landed 42yrds?.....on the 2nd round the same 50yrd shot hit 80% (48 yrd) shot landed 59yrds!! them shots where taken from basicaaly the dsame spot with the same wind...so explain the massive diff if u can cause i cant see why ....now u can tell me this is quite normal and its does not happen to you or any of the so called "good players" but its happening to me
