  I would say that I reverse view putt about 75 - 85% of the time depending on the putt. The reverse view tends to be a more accurate putt. Those who do not do this might give it a try, it might improve your shooting by a few strokes.

  I agree that reverse view is generally going to give you a more accurate line but on longer side hill putts I like to double check my intended line on the front view.

  I rarely use the reverse view unless my normal view is constricted in some way. 

  I have trouble reading the dots from reverse view, so it seems to hurt more than it helps.

  i will have to disagree with that i always use the reverse view i find it very accurate.

  Same here Nick, now I will have to admit when I first started here this was a common discussion on the board. At first I felt the same a lighterdark, then after I got used to it I found out it was a far more accurate way to read the greens. Often you can miss a putt on the normal view because the green reads totally different. I will trust the reverse view over the front view all day long.
