OP little confused, you are offering tips or insight on pros, at what second one should strike the ball. Yet you’re asking how to read the grain?
Is there water present, and how it may effect the putt. How recently was the green cut, last time they sanded. How many weeds are growing within the line of putt. How many divots one must fix, is the hole cut at an angle, the middle of the downward slope of the green.
Does loud music playing next to the tee or the ongoing conversation from the foursome that drives to the tee before the first in your foursome hits?
All are may be as important as how many seconds it takes to tee off.
