    My formula is similar so I'll put it out there in case it helps someone.

    Slow = 1.15

    Standard = 1.05

    Fast - 1.00

    Very Fast = .88

    Tourney = .78

    Then I add 1 or 2 feet to get by the hole and add/subtract the uphill/downhill

     

    I.E.... 22 foot putt uphill 4 inches on very fast green.

    22+ 2(past hole) + 4 (uphill)  X .85 (very fast) / meter scale = % of meter to hit it

    28 X .85 = 23.8      23.8 / 25 (if you have a 25 meter scale) = 95.2% hit

    The other thing I do is I use an early hit or a late hit to direct the ball when the break is not excessive. For example if I have a putt that is slightly breaking right I aim directly at the hole but make sure I hit the putt slight to the left of the "ding". The more the break, the further I "pull" it.  Just note that when you "pull" or "push" it a lot it will take some of the speed out of it and you need to hit it a little harder.

    It's amazing how much this helped me.  I was making anywhere between 4-5 putts per hole  because I was having trouble with the distance.. After reading this I took a practice round and I was shocked to find out I only made 27 putts in that round.... I was so happy to have learned this and now I don't even realize i am counting movements anymore.. It's second nature...

    This post makes putting so easy now, I would like to thank nivlac and all the posters who have given their calculations for distance, this has taken me from 3 and 4 putts to 1-3 putts almost overnight.
