  • Publication number: 20250128136
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for determining a read of a putt is disclosed. The method includes receiving a magnitude of slope parameter, a length of putt parameter and a greed speed parameter, and then calculating a break and a pace based on the magnitude of slope parameter, the length of putt parameter and the green speed parameter. The read of the putt includes the break and the pace. If additional accuracy is required, the method includes receiving an adjusted magnitude of slope parameter, an adjusted length of putt parameter or an adjusted green speed, and then re-calculating the break and pace. If additional accuracy is not required, the break and pace may be displayed on a graphical user interface to aid a user to hit a golf ball according to the read of the putt.
