Match line to speed with the three-speed putt drill

A putting speed-control drill the guest uses, including at tournaments to get the speed of the greens: from about ten feet, make the same putt from the same spot at different speeds - dying, medium, and soft/firm - matching a different line to each speed. He describes dying as the ball just dropping into the bottom of the cup, medium as catching the corner, and firm as a liner, and calls it the hardest drill.
