Default Green Speeds

For those of you that have experienced fast (9-11 stimp) smooth greens prior to moving to The Villages I have a question to ponder. Do you putt better on fast (9-11) greens or slower (7-8) greens"? I hear all the time that players who do not play fast greens regularily fear them. Logically a 40 foot putt, or realistically any distance, that allows you to take a considerably shorter and probably more on line stroke will result in better scoring, and will be friendly to all with practice. I am not getting into the controversy here as to why The Villages keeps the greens slow the majority of the time, just the concept of putting on slower or faster greens? What do you think?
