  I need some help as generally my putting is pretty solid, but im getting fed up with struggling with the sh*t views you can get on these greens, i need to learn how to try and judge a breaking putt when you are lining up off a angled view as i have no chance with them nad unfortunely when im finding when playing of Legends chances are few and far between and mistakes are costly and these angled views are hurting me

  It may be just my eyesight, but I have found that I tend to overestimate the break when I have an "angle" view...I have learned to adjust accordingly...HB3

  This will depend hole to hole but using both views, you could see if break shows different from each view, then use memory of previous putt from same spot, adjust accordingly.

  There is no magic answer and I miss many putts from any spot due to whatever reason, so you are not alone.

  Avoid putting on Kiawah! LOL! it seems that course is the worst for bad angles. Seriously, it becomes a matter of experience, most times angled views seem to exaggerate the amount of break truly present. After checking both views I usually split any difference and give a little more credence to the view that is closest to being a "good" view! That for me usually seems to be the reverse view.

  I would enjoy the help...but the putter must be hot & fast with the ability to notice a easy tap in.
