When it starts heading directly down will obv depend on the distance it started off that directly downhill slope and the pace at which it is moving on the horizontal axis.

OK I was very confused. When he said his ball was moving right down the fall line, it got me because as I think in the golf world fall line is used as a point running through the center of the hole.
This is what Brocktoon is talking about, I just wasn't understanding it very clearly.
And thus some putts would react like this
The problem I'm having now is if you move to the right of the dead straight line to the hole, thus introducing side tilt if your target is the center of the hole, how a putt can then break to the left up the slope. Yet it's right there so it must be true. To me it just seems that as you move to the right of the straight center line, all balls hit at the center of the hole and left would break right(which is what my picture from before shows). Didn't think about ball started right.
How this would effect the make % of this putt would be tough to determine.
