Can you imagine trying to convince the average golfer that they should use a straight board to produce a curved stroke?

The Putting Arc is indeed a good product and I've heard many positive comments about it.
Yeah. Hearing people talk about a "straight back straight through" stroke irritates me because they have it half right and half wrong. All strokes are, in fact, straight back and straight through because you are tracing a straight line. However, since we are standing to the side of the ball, the clubhead must curve. Straight back and straight through is 'pointing', not 'tracing'. I don't see why people are convinced a putting strokes covers the target line when no other stroke does.
