Speed Drop (Putting)
- Definition
- The percentage drop in speed from Ball Speed to Roll Speed.
- The Use of Speed Drop
- It is useful to know how much the Ball Speed drops during the skid phase due to Bounces or sliding of the ball.
- The higher the Speed Drop percentage is, the higher the impact of Bounces or sliding during the Skid Phase on the Ball Speed.
- Therefore, players should aim to have a small Speed Drop percentage, as this would ensure a smoother transition from the Skid Phase to the Roll Phase, giving a more consistent roll and speed control.
