  I use the standard for uphill & downhill, distance in feet adding (uphill) or subtracting (downhill) a foot per inch in elevation. Those numbers are basically stop at the hole and as stated, just a place to start. Note: with 13 and faster speeds, I use a different % for uphill than I do for downhill. That is why there is more than one number for those speeds. I also make all kinds of micro adjustments. Those numbers are just a good starting point for after you have adjusted for elevation.

    -Uphill- D' + E"

    -Downhill- D' = D' - E"

  Brett, 

  Thank you for the detailed green speed adjustments.  Mine are a bit higher but I fudged them during the transition from flash to the new desktop app. I found the desktop app greens a bit slower. (I fudged the green speed adjustments because I was too lazy to remap my putter/ball combination.)

  I use the same adjustments for both up and down hill but uphill I add a foot to the calculated distance, downhill only add 1/2 foot. 

  Again these are starting points and I'm always tweaking as I setup and often on the backswing.  Lol Maybe a reason my putting is only mediocre at best. 

  Then there is misdinging on purpose and ramming through the break, other topics of discussion. 

  Have fun and hit em straight, 

  John

  I don't understand the chart. If i am 20 feet away & green speed is 10.3 & putter set for 25 ft  what % did i hit putt? Feet x's what 103? If tournament speed I would putt it around 65% with chart i use .  Ty

  Using Brett's adjustment:

  20 feet x 0.86 = 17.2

  17.2/25 = 69% on Putter Pal scale

  My reply on this post was never meant to be a putting tutorial. I was just answering the original question from the original post.

  As DJ7 answered, those percentages are just how hard to hit the putt after you come up with the distance you are trying to hit it. Trying to hit 10' on 11 speed greens (10 x .81 = 8.1') And as stated, this is just a place to start. If you are a player starting from scratch and you don't use percentages, you may want to check out one of the many good tutorials in the forums.

  Cheers
