ZeroBreak is a science-based putting tool that tells you exactly where to aim and how far to take your putter back — for every putt, on any green. HOW IT WORKS Based on vector putting geometry, ZeroBreak calculates the Zero Break Line (ZBL) — the true aim point that accounts for slope, green speed, and distance. Instead of guessing, you get a precise aim point in inches and a personalized backstroke length for your exact pace. CLOCK FACE AIM Read break the way caddies do. Tap the clock face to set the slope direction — ZeroBreak does the math and shows you the aim point, whether that's the center of the cup, an edge, or inches outside. YOUR STROKE, CALIBRATED Calibrate once by hitting a test putt at a known distance. ZeroBreak learns your personal distance factor and calculates the right backstroke length for every distance from 5 to 100 feet — referenced to your trail foot so you always have a consistent guide. GREEN SPEED BUILT IN Adjust for course conditions with the Stimpmeter slider. Whether greens are running 8 or 12, your aim and speed recommendations update instantly. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Play a full round with Live Round mode — log putts hole by hole as you go, either with a quick count tap or with full break and distance detail straight from the clock face. After your round, ZeroBreak shows you putts per round, 1-putt %, 3-putt %, make percentage by distance, miss tendency, and a hole-by-hole breakdown so you know exactly where strokes are being lost. No rangefinder needed. No complicated setup. Just better putting.
