I would not mess with the ten, fifteen, etc... lengths during practice because of the above reasons. Every nationwide or tour player I have worked with all say the same thing. When they win or have a great check they don't miss anything inside five feet. This means they are knocking in the short birdies and lagging the longer putts up there nice and snug. To win a really big tournament, ball striking aside, all you need to do is make 99% of the short ones and then make three putts each day THAT YOU NORMALLY DON'T MAKE. Also remember your mechanics. Sustain your lag, Trolio VJ - thanks for all of your contributions to this site! This is really, really good stuff. I am going to put this to work immediately. By the way, I wonder if the same type of practice could work with the full swing? Work on some drivers to ensure you have the tee shot grooved, then work on wedges. Hmmmm......
