Playing the Break

photo credit: star5112     Putting Essentials:   1)   Direction   2)   length   3)   head steadiness.   If, and only if, you abide by those three prerequisites can you begin to devote your attention to “the roll of the green.”  

One of the most important things to remember, when playing a breaking putt, is to miss on the high side.”   If the putt breaks from left to right, make plenty of allowance for the break.   As the ball approaches the hole and slows, if it's played high enough, it just may dribble into the hole.   If you don't play enough break the ball misses the hole on the right  with no chance of dropping.

One of the biggest problems  on every breaking putt is not playing enough break.
