  alot of numbers up there

  tourny greens. multiply by .3

  multiply 20 x .3 = 6

  20 - 6 = 14 ft . hit the putt 14 ft
  

   

  add or subtract a foot for uphill/down

  20 x .7 is 14 the extra 2 is added so you won't ever leave the putt short. then you add a foot or subtract a foot for each inch of elevation.

  by "break,", i presume you mean go left or right instead of straight ahead?

  If you are ANDYTHEGOLFPRO   you must have heard the term the putt breaks about 4 inches to the left................ LOL.

  Ah, you see, I'm ADY THE GOLF PRO, not Andy. He's the REAL Pro!

  First there is a different tournament green speed for Legends and Tour Masters so you have to define which you are playing on.  I use 70% of the distance on a level putt, a 20 foot putt needs to be hit 14 feet to go the proper distance.  However I have learned after about a year of play that on WGT a putt hit firm enough to go 2 feet by the hole is the proper speed to play your putts.

  I've been using 76% for tourny green and has always got me within 1-2 ft. lot easier, 20ft putt with 3ft elev= 23X 76% =17.48 round to 18.  20ft putt with 3ft down hill elev=17x76%=12.93round to 13ft putt

  Ive noticed no one talks about avatar movements.  I guess with all the different putters out there, finding the distance is more important.
