[1.05 f/f at 25 feet is about 2 feet faster than 1.06 s/s.]
while an unmixed green condition policy for official tour events in the unified 1.07 game will be practical, and acceptable to lspn tour players, sometime way down the line players will appreciate the fact that green conditions can be arranged to be somewhat less predictable. thus the game will have a long term potential for more subtle complexity on the greens, even in the smallest ways. lw

Well said, and exactly how I feel about it.
