That's because you're plumb-bobbing with a waffle iron.

It did present some problems figuring out how to hold it so it was vertical..

i think it would depend on the stroke..and what part of the cup you were trying to hit....alot of people will hit it stiff and take the break out while others try to let it die in the side....but for some reason i believe the if u were to roll the balls the exact length needed...they would break the same...cause what is affecting ur ball is the side hill and gravity pulls the same on any object...i think the two lines would look different in the the uphill would turn alot more at the end and the downhill would be one long sweep...but all the same should break the same distance right to left or left to right depending...

Keep in mind that the equation for gravity is 9.8 meters/sec2. And the the sidehill vector is independant of the uphill/downhill vector. So the amount of time the putt takes to get to the hole directly affects the amount of break.

right, see i would assume it would work similarly to the whole thing of..if u shoot a gun and drop a bullet at the same time from the same height they hit the ground at the same time...perhaps my train of thought is skewed
