I recently tried something new with my putting.   I started on the practice green and then brought it to the course.  I realize a lot of people under-read putts, but I tend to do the opposite.  I have started going more straight at the hole on putts inside of 10 feet.  

1. Sometimes it is obvious there is a sizable break, so I do account for this.

2. The further the putt the more I might consider break.

3. Speed is extremely important too.  Most people worry to much about line and not enough about speed.  I understand this.

I suggest this drill on the practice green.  Go around to different holes and just see how the ball moves when you aim straight at the center of the cup from 4, 6, 8, 10 feet.  Even pick spots where there looks to be some break and still hit it straight.  The point is not necessarily to make every putt, but to see how the ball moves.

It has helped me in two ways: 

1.  I have a better understanding of how the ball breaks depending on the slope and the grain.

2. I have seen how often the ball goes in, especially inside of 5 feet or so, when I hit it straight rather than trying to read break into every putt.  It is still a work in progress, but I feel like it is going to really help my putting.  I might miss a few putts by not reading enough break, but I think I will make more by not over-reading putts that don't have much in them.
