The Putt is a Golf Stroke demanding maximum Precision and minimum Power. It is all about executing a pre-selected Hinge Action On Plane and with its proper Rhythm. Remember, Rhythm in TGM is defined as keeping the Shaft in-line with the Left Forearm, either visually (actually in line) or geometrically (frozen in a Bent alignment).

Power should be limited to One Accumulator -- the Left Arm (Swinging) or the Right Arm (Hitting). The remaining Accumulators -- the Left Wrist (Cocking and Uncocking) and the Left Hand (Turning and Rolling) -- should be zeroed out. This is done easily by either fully-Uncocking the Left Wrist or by Gripping the Club in the cup of the Left Hand. Either way eliminates both Accumulators. It also puts the Left Forearm On Plane (joining the Right Forearm Flying Wedge that is always positioned On Plane). Rely on Clubhead Lag Pressure for Distance Control.

Now, simply Pull the Club through with your Left Arm or Push it through with your Right as you execute your precision Hinge Action... On Plane and in its proper Rhythm. As in all Strokes, for the correct Clubhead Lag Pressure Feel, drag (Swinging) or drive (Hitting) your 'wet mop' through Impact. Properly done, there will be no inclination to (1) bend the Left Wrist or flatten the Right; (2) change the pressure point pressure; or (3) slow or stop the Hands through the Ball.

Finally...

Keep your Head still!
