1) 5 feet and in - bottom of the back of the cup
2) 5 feet to 10 feet - middle of the back of the cup
3) 10 feet to 20 feet - top of the back of the cup
4) 20 feet to 30 feet - one foot radius around the cup
4) 30 feet upwards - 3 foot radius around the cup

Its helped with my short range putting as you are aiming to hit the putt with enough strength to hit certain parts of the cup.
Hopefully Yoda will correct this if I got it wrong.

Pretty sure this is right. I heard Lynn and Collin Neeman discussing this at Cuscowilla.

Personally, I find extensor action to be a huge factor in adding structure and consistency to my putting stroke - short to long putts. Once your mechanics are consistent and reproducible, feel and confidence comes quickly.
