Break (Putting)

• Definition
  • The horizontal side movement perpendicular from the Launch Direction to the ball reaches Entry Speed (1.68 mph).
  • That is, how much the ball has moved left/right from where it was launched to where it was at Entry Speed.
• The Use of Break
  • Break is essential for improving green reading skills.
  • Break can therefore be used as an evaluator when a player practices green reading, to confirm whether the break they saw matched that of the actual putt they hit.
