SLOPES AND BREAK - PuttingZone

SLOPES AND BREAKThe PuttingZone method for any golfer uses only two practice-green putts to establish and learn how much a putt breaks for a given slope and green speed, using that golfer s personal delivery pace, expressing the BREAK as either a percentage of the length of the putt or as so many inches of BREAK to play per foot of the putt distance, locating the aim-ing target this BREAK distance up along the fall line measured from the center of the cup, as applicable to all putts inside 15 feet so long as the surface presents the same flatness from ball to hole. In addition to this two-putt method, the paper delves into the basic art and science of perceiving fall lines, SLOPES , and breaks for the skilled golfer s know how, training skills that travel from putt to putt with minimal streakiness and slump-ing.

This paper presents the PuttingZone method for using the practice green to learn the amount of break that occurs for certain common or frequent combinations of green speed and slope steepness or grade. The specific combination is a 2% slope grade tested at the usual green speed (commonly Stimp 9’ to Stimp 10’ in the United States, perhaps
