Why do people still plumb-bob?

The only way it "works" is if the slope is the same from where the golfer is standing to the ball and to the hole. If you can't determine the slope to begin with, how the hell do you know the slope is constant between those 3???

Gonna be a rough weekend then. Probably the most inconsistent part of my game. 18 putts on the front yesterday (2 for every hole with 6 greens hit) but 12 on the back (3 greens hit). No 3-putts though!

I plump bob on pretty much every putt. Wherever the shaft is in relation to the hole is where I am the putt. Seems to work pretty good for me.

i do, too.

I can see the line on down hill putts much better from the opposite side. So I'll usually head towards the hole no matter where my ball is. And like you said, getting close to the hole and finding the slope/grain there is going to be the most helpful. I pick a target and use the alignment line on my ball.

As a side note, this is by far the worse thing about the taylormade tp5 balls. A thin alignment line next to circles on a curved surface is an optical illusion. It doesn't look straight. And when the line is punched on the ball, it doesn't mark straight to begin with even though they try to put it on the seam. That's a huge oversight.

I've never understood how people can use that line to putt.

I still can't use it. The line can changes due to speed played and I can't line it up.
