Need Help Putting on Slow Greens

I'm a completely different putter on slow greens. On fast freshly rolled greens I average between 25-28 putts per round. On slow shaggy greens I average 32-34 putts per round. On fast greens I feel smooth and creative. I'm not sure what it is, but I cannot get the speed or line on slower greens. Does anyone else have this problem or tips on how to have the same consistency on inconsistent greens?

I'm similar, though I can end up putting well on slower greens if I adjust quickly during the first few holes.  I putt better on slower greens with more of a "pop" style putting (look at footage of guys putting in the 1950's and 60's).  For me, fast and smooth greens reward a smoother stroke.

i prefer fast greens, but i putt on each equally well.

play more break is a good general rule but then it can be offset because of having to hit putts harder which would mean playing less break. So, the real answer is that the only way you can be good on slow greens is to get practice in on slow greens.  Its tricky going from one to the other but over time with practice to develop feel, they don't become as much of a headache.

You've probably got a nice smooth, compact stroke that gets the ball rolling well on slick greens. The problem is that, on shaggy greens, you've either got to let your backstroke grow to a size you're not used to or try to put more of a "hit" on your putts like Max said. Both are going to throw off your feel.

But hell, if I could average 25 - 28 putts a round on good greens, I wouldn't change a thing. I'd just go play more nice courses!

I find a heavier putter helps on slow greens.  If I know I will be playing on slow greens I will add lead tape to my putter.  If I had the money I would buy matching Scotty Cameron putters, one with 10 gram weights one wilth 20 gram weights.

There are putters with adjustable weights in them.. If that might help.

What i hate is going from fast greens to slower greens. I left about half my putts 3-4 feet short. I didn't know my home town had greens that were that much faster than were i play. Usually in the summer the greens i play are pretty fast.

He could just go with a See More putter. The ball just rockets of the face with those things.

How bad is the rest of your game? With 25-28 putts you should be scratch by now.

Beat me to it.  Took me some time to figure this out, and I don't switch putters frequently, but if I'm going to play somewhere I know has lightning-fast greens I will bring a putter with a heavier head.

That's what I mean. The only way I personally could get to 25 putts is by missing a lot of greens then getting up and down more often than not. That would mean my putting is okay and I need to work on my approaches. Luckily I miss a lot of greens AND take a lot of putts, so I get to work on everything equally.

you be surprised, if you duff a few chips, shank a few balls, but drain alot of putts, you can get any assortment of scores playing this idiotic game.
