Which is the better one? The 15/30/60/100/150/300 or the 10/20/50/150/300?

Comes down to personal preference. I prefer 10/20/50/100/150/300 because I find that scale easier to use when making adjustments for green speeds.

Personal preference i think, Personally i prefer the 10/20/30 etc as when you have worked out the distance you need to hit it its easier to convert that to the 10/20 meter whether that be in "old" money of fractions or "new" money of decimel percent

You will get varying opinions on this subject but for me the 10 / 20 / 50 / 100 / 150 / 300 scale is much better simply because of math. It is easier for me to determine where from a percentage standpoint I need to drag the meter for the desired length I am trying to hit the ball. A lot will also depend on what additional "tools" you use within the game. The only "add on" that I use is the shot pal / putter pal our club i I use it for percentage thus making the math easier on the putter scale I have.

I play the former, and I only know that a change is difficult.

In the latter row, 100 is missing. If this is as it is, it would be a big step from 50 to 150, but I assume a typo(?)

You are correct, I missed the 100 increment. Sorry. Now does it change anything?

FWIW,

I was having another periodic bout of putting trouble a few months ago and went from the (now) Lvl 72 Nike Method to the Max Control Putter (Master+) with 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200, and 300 increments.

I found it was easier for me to hit the ding if I kept the swing power less than 20/25% when possible, hence the advantage of more increments. I know in hindsight that should have been obvious, but it never dawned on me until I watched Fmagnets in a round on Twitch. Then the light went on.

Neither one is the better its what works best for you . Me personally my putter has the 15/30/60 increments . This is the type of putter that I learned to play with so I would struggle with a change . Also for the most part I very seldom if ever have to use the 60 or above increments .

I see that you are using the nike putter which has the 10/20/50 increments . I cant say how well those increments work as I have never used a putter with them . But I will say that if you learn how to putt using the avatar movements as a gauge then putting becomes easier .
