Putting low point

[dkerby]

Pg 74, Transfer Power, the swinger can use a "Reverse Loft"
putter for a precision "low point" impact - really a very
accurate and simple procedure.

Pg 22, the only picture for a "Reverse Loft" putt is for
above center inpact overspin. In the picture the putter
shaft is leaning forward.

My question is: Would one have to construct a putter with
reverse loft to have a precision low point impact? Looking
a the law of flail, I would think that the putter must reach
the bottom of the arc to be at low point. The handle and the
the putter head would have to be in line vertical to reach
low point. This does not seem to be case if the shaft is
leaning forward.

Think of impact as a story rather than a one-line joke. That is, thinking of impact and low-point as the same does not necessarily mean they are. Impact is the point of collision and low point is the center of the orbiting clubhead.
Go further into the paragraph...."There is no accuracy for any procedure unless the HANDS execute a definite Hinge Motion."

Many times low point is not the shoulder in putting, nor the spine. Often times players will cause their wrists to arch or bend and the putterhead wil get to the WRIST's low point. The stroke has just become manipulated and complicated.

For reverse loft, a player could lean the shaft forward a great deal and move low point forward (aiming point) with a standard lofted putter. Hooding the putterhead in effect.

Shoulded the putter shaft lean forward of the ball at set-up and at impact (with angled hinging)?

It depends on the offset of the putter. A putter with no offset will not lean as far forward as a putter with half-shaft offset......and so on.

It can be argued that a putter with no offset should not lean forward at all.

What about the LOFT of the putter in regards to forward lean?

[vj]

The greater the forward lean, the less the loft. Differences in loft lead to differences in feel and roll. While some putters are being designed with zero loft and the cog of the putter as far back and down from the putter possible, I find it
difficult to TRUST the PUTTER'S SET-UP to the PLAYER.
