BREAK CHARTS ONLY
Personalized Green Break Cards
Less Guesswork. A Clearer Starting Line.
Personalized green-reading charts, instructions, and grass guides. Choose the $49 System if you also want the mental performance cards and post-round journal.
Start Line Golf break cards use calculations based on putting distance, green slope and green speed to provide a reference for estimating break.
- Six green-speed charts covering Stimp 8 through 13
- References for uphill and downhill putts
- Use the same break numbers for left-to-right and right-to-left putts
- A double-sided instruction card
- Your name printed on the cards
- Print-ready cards sized 4 x 6.5 inches
Use the cards to estimate how many inches to aim to the uphill side of the hole, measured from the centre.
The charts provide a reference based on your distance, slope, and green-speed readings. Your interpretation of slope, intended putting pace, and ability to start the ball on your chosen line influence the outcome.
Download and print your cards at home. Each card is 4 x 6.5 inches. The cards fit inside a yardage-book holder with room for 4 x 6.5-inch cards. You receive digital files, not printed cards or a holder.
