You can still hit steep (if you're talking about VSP for the measure of "steepness") and not dig/take a ton of sand if your low point control is precise. -

lately I have grooved in a simple rule for stuff under 20 feet, which happens to be approximately 1" of takeaway for every foot of travel I want to roll the ball (including 2 feet past the hole and mentally adjusting for slope). This is based on a consistent tempo that I use. I worked this out using a wellputt matt, which was very helpful in this regard. I got very good at rolling the ball to a stop 18 inches past the virtual hole on that matt, from any distance on the matt (13 feet long) and then it turns out to work very well up to maybe 20 feet. That being said, due to the fact that greens are not perfectly flat or with the perfectly same stimp, it also comes down to some feel, so I use that guide above to get in the ballpark and then still allow myself some feel around that. Over 20 feet doesn't work out that way, and starts to be a lot more about the tempo and feel to hit the ball the right distance, I still feel I get better distance control by looking at the hole when I stroke those putts, but I often mishit the ball that way too...so I would prefer to work out a better way of handling my 20-50 footers. -
