I am usually pretty good inside 6 feet with the putter. All it takes is see the line, control the speed and get the ball rolling. But at the moment I can't do neither.
Nowadays, when I stand over the putt, what seems to be a straight line to me is a line that curves to the right.
This is probably the computer's way of compensating an error in my putting stroke. I try to putt with angled hinging, but now I am striking the putts with a closed clubface and I am closing the clubface going through impact. Snap- hook, maybe pull hook. I've missed more than my share of short left-to right brakers lately.
I have had quite a few sessions on the putting green lately, trying to get the alignment right. What I do is pick out a spot that is midway to the hole on a straight line - and from address try to see the straight line going through that spot. From there I try to adjust the stance, swingplane, flying wedges etc. And finally strike the ball and whatch where it goes.
Whenever I have an alignment device lying on the ground everything seems to work fine, but without it, I'm lost in the fog.
I am pretty sure I will see the correct line as soon as I get a proper putting stroke back, alternatively be able to strike the ball on line as soon as I start seeing the line again.
I think this is quite a usual problem related to putting so it. So any shed of light on the issue might help me now and others when they experience the same problem.
