I've played with tri-click method a fair amount and its still a bit of a guessing game for me with respect to putting. I use the caddie's comments combined with reading the break and speed icons to try to determine what numbers I will enter for the putt.
For break, if there is no break, I use "0", but as the break icon (and caddie's comments) indicate more and more break, I increase that number (e.g., if there is a little break, typically a "1" but maybe a "2", then if there is a lot of break maybe as high as a "4" or "5". Again, I'm still playing with this and continuing to experiment.
For speed: It looks like I've been doing this wrong all the time, but it still worked out pretty well for me. So no advice from me at this point until I mess around with the new advice from Gary and Zorro.
Bottom line: there is no magic formula..it's a "feel"...sort of like actually putting in real life. And like in real life, the more you do it the better you get at it.
Like Zorro says though, if your golfer's putting rating is very high and your caddie's putting rating is very high, it will make life easier. I tend not to have as high ratings for both my golfer and caddie as what Zorro was indicating, so I definitely struggle a little more with putting.
