Reading Greens

[titaniummd]

Recently I read an article in Golf Magazine about how missing your intermediate target by as much as the width of a tee can affect the final position of your ball by as much as 4 inches on a 10 foot putt.

To read breaks while practicing, I use the Exelys Breakmaster Green Reader:

However, it is the last few feet that really makes the difference. http://www.exelys.com/manuals.html
