You can hit it as easy as possible and it can still fall in the top because it's breaking more. Or you can jam it in the hole and minimize the amount of break. But there's only a certain limit to that. You can only go so high, so low, so fast, so slow. And it's hard to practice speed if you don't know the games that develop touch because it's not intuitive.
Line is intuitive.
You see it. You look at it. You think you understand it. But speed is something that nobody has a handle on. Four out of five putts are missed because they're rolling at the wrong speed. . .
