Putt grid different on front and back views

  Dear WGT,

     I dont know how to explain this, but I will try.   Sometimes when I putt, the white lines showing slope intensity will differ in speed when I change view from rear view to pin view.  I was just wondering when this inconsistency occurs again, which view should I use to determine my shot pattern, or should I say which view is the right view to use?? 

  PS.  Please dont tell me to create a bug log, b/ this occurs on every course, several times a week.

  Thanks,

  TT

  Usually the reverse view that is on the money (90% of the time). It is best to make a note of dodgy putts cause they can spoil a good round...

  At least I feel it's almost always easier to sink putts when having the reverse sight on. But thats just me :)

  correct :)

  mental notes are often more important than grid views.

  TT,

  This used to bug the hell out of me, but just like in real life you can get different reads from different sides of the hole.  Best you can do is remember those liars reads and take your best guess.

  Helpful hint....many times the ball shows different break from different sides the putt will be fairly straight.  Certainly exceptions to that rule but it's right more often than not.

  Yes, if you don't have the capacity to take mental notes, (doubtful) then take notes on paper!  Other wise, just split the difference between the views and hope!
