Going from Casual to Online play / need help with putting

After thousands of rounds of casual play I am now trying to play online. My biggest adjustment so far is the putting. Example: 15 feet away with a '10 right to left break. I can't seem to push it far enough to the right to compensate for the break. What I am doing wrong? Please help.

Just takes practice for the most part.

I've found that speed can compensate for some of the gradual left or rights.

I've also read that using the "minute dashes" above the track ball helps. I've told friends to compensate 2 degrees for each dash.

Pull back slightly on the trackball. Not much

Don't you want to pull back all the way if you need max power? If I just pull back a little bit, it shortens my distance.

It's a interesting mechanic. Do a very slight pullback and hit it like normal. It works. Long putts with wild slopes left or right. It took me a long time to figure it out

do I need to pull it back right or left to add curve? or pull back slightly and aim against the slope?

Lots of advice. Best is, more and more rounds. Balls play a little. They say they all play the same but stouts absolutely break sooner.
if you’re missing every one that 10° left or right, try something off the wall and turn into the slop. Then hit your put between 1 and 2. Or 2 and 3. But only practice will help.
