“Apex” will confuse so many players. The “Apex” is actually where the ball is struck. What players are actually thinking is where diminishing speed allows for more break. But the putt starts breaking immediately.

It does start breaking pretty much immediately, but where the ball is struck is not the apex, the apex is where it is farthest away from a straight line to the hole
@@JamieDonaldsongolf this is exactly why I stated this. If people know science that term confuses people. If a putt only breaks one direction (say left to right) apex (by definition means highest point) is literally where the ball is struck. Which I’ve found in teaching short game confuses higher handicaps at trying to imagine the actual fall line of the putt and most under read the break. When you explain that you can visualize the putt starts to fall from diminishing speed at some point people have an easier time starting to understand.
