Taking the break out

VJ,

What is your advice regarding taking the "break" out of short putts? When should this be done? What guidelines would you offer?

Thanks!


An uphill or level putt can be hit firmly to take some of the break out. For obvious reasons a downhill putt should probably not be hit really firm.

Again go back to the speed you "see" in your mind's eye. If you "see" a firm speed,commit to it and hit it.
