Geoff Mangum on Reading Putts 6 of 7: Intuitive Method of Finding Start Line

Geoff Mangum of the PuttingZone.com describes how the prediction of the curving break path can be done intuitively by "feel" using a baseline and the fall line, never going low, never going too far, and aiming only as high off the baseline at the fall line as required and no higher (3 factors for break: slope steepness and direction, green rolling speed, and ball rolling speed).

1) shoot the cameraman.

2) on long putts your not going to it make anyways so ALWAYS leave the ball BELOW the axis line SO U WILL HAVE an uphill putt next. The chances of making that long putt under pressure are LOW and the chances of making a 4 - 5 foot 'leave' putt that stopped ABOVE the hole under pressure are 60 - 40. So if you leave the long putt low and putt uphill next - that's a high probability 2 putt. But if you listen to this guy you WILL 3 putt for sure.

Plain common sense.
