The first time I ever tested this, and I didn't really know what I was doing at the time,

but I was giving a lesson and we were talking about what makes the ball break more and what makes the ball break less. And the guy looks at me goes, you know what, I would really like to know exactly how much. Yeah, I know it breaks more, but what does that mean? Does that mean three feet or two feet or 12 inches? So I basically used the same computer software that does the line for TV, and I just had to spit out all these numbers.

And I took it out and tested, and I only did basic average 2% slope.

And I went out and played 18 holes, and I think I had 11 putts on the front and 14 puts on the back,

and I had never ever been below 30 puts, and I never made anything outside 10 feet.

I think I made two or three

puts outside 15 feet. I made a lot more five, six, seven footers. And I remember just thinking,

wow, there's really something to this. I don't really understand it yet. I don't really know

how to use it yet. But just the first time I ever tried it, I could not believe how much better

my putting was, just knowing what the proper break was.
