The BreakMaster Digital Green Reader is a precision electronic device that accurately locates the downhill direction (or break) of the green, measures the precise angle of slope (amount or severity of break) and provides a full readout of both on its LCD display.
To read a break, simply place the BreakMaster near the hole on line with your putt and it will instantly show you the downhill direction and exactly how many degrees of downhill slope exist. The greater the angle of slope, the more the putt will break downhill. The shallower the angle of slope, the less the putt will break.
The BreakMaster works equally well in reading the severity of an uphill or downhill lie. Simply place the BreakMaster ahead of your ball on line with the hole and its readout will give you a good indication of how much to adjust your stroke for uphill or downhill putts.
Since its introduction in 2003, the BreakMaster has become an indispensable tool for Tour Pros on the PGA, LPGA and Champions Tours as well as Professional Caddies and Golf Instructors.

What all these great golfers are discovering is that using the BreakMaster in preparation for upcoming tournaments allows them to train their eye for breaking putts and also to get to know the exact breaks on the greens they will be playing in the actual competition.
While the use of devices like the BreakMaster (as well as laser range finders) is prohibited during tournaments, there is nothing illegal (according to the USGA Rules of Golf) about using the BreakMaster during a practice round or walk-through of the course, then making notes in a Greens & Yardage Book on how the greens will break, and then to consulting that book during competition.
Tour Pros know that, in order to shave strokes off their score cards, there's no substitute for actual knowledge of how a golf course is going to play. And there's no better way to understand breaking greens and take the guesswork out of green-reading than by using the BreakMaster Digital Green Reader.
The BreakMaster is slim and compact so it fits easily into a pocket without spoiling your stroke, it's weatherproof to withstand damp greens and comes with a protective carrying pouch that can attach to your belt or bag. The BreakMaster is available at fine golf shops everywhere. If you can't find the BreakMaster at a dealer near you, you may order it directly from us by clicking on the link below.
