Sorry, meant to say they're 13 for tournaments. Normally 10-11. I like them fast, but sometimes there is too fast. Number 2 at my course is 2-tiered and slopes severely back to front. If you are on the upper tier, your putt will go off the front of the green no matter what you do. One year in the member guest tourney, I saw a guest putt from the back of the green down to the 100 yd marker, the greenskeeper had also shaved the apron in the front and it's all downhill from there. Maybe the pros can tear up a slow green, but I've found it tends to alter my putting stroke so I pull it left.
