Green speed, effect on borrow?

[Deleted member 1147]

As some of you may know from my previous posts I tend to be useless at putting .
However, I have recently purchased a V-Easy and my stroke is improving & I mishit putts less often then I used to.
So I now need help at reading greens (no point hitting it properly in the wrong direction).

My question is therefore, when a green is quick will this affect how much borrow you need to allow, and if so, will you need to allow more or less for this?

It depends on the slope involed but generally yes the quicker the green the more it will move, but it all depends on the slopes involved sometimes if it is a downhill put with a borrow it may move less because the main movement is downhill, you have to take each put on its own merits and it all depends on the prime movement.

That sounds more confuseing than it meant to

The faster green will break more, especially as the ball loses pace.

It also depends on the grain. I know our greens aren't as grainy as the US or Asia but the knap of the grass will also have an effect on the ball as it dies

I think we are slowly unravelling why you are falling out of love with golf Homer.

Christ you over complicate this game

Did the seller not give you a free green reading lesson with the purchase of the V-Easy??
