Putter Patter

At Impact, the Shaft of my heel-shafted putter has only the slightest forward lean.

That's because I locate the Ball off my left big toe. And that toe is just behind Low Point -- opposite my left shoulder -- in my Stance. My Head is Centered between my feet.

But then, unlike almost everybody else in the world...

My Left Arm is Straight.

My Left Wrist is Flat.

And my Right Forearm is On Plane.

To accomodate the above alignments, my Clubshaft is only 32" long.

Also, I grip the Clubshaft in the lifeline of my Left Hand. In other words, the Clubshaft is running up the Left Forearm (Zero #3 Angle). This means there is a gap between the last three fingers of the Left Hand and the Clubshaft, and the Club is secured by the fingertips. This is at first uncomfortable, but stay with it: That feeling will go away after you make many Left-Arm Only practice strokes over many days with the Clubshaft buttressing the palm of the hand. Don't use a Ball; just swing the Club back and through continuously nailing down the Feel.

With both Hands together, feel the connections of the #2 Pressure Point (last three fingers of the left hand) and #3 Pressure Point (meaty part of the right forefinger) directly behind the Clubshaft. Put the Right Forearm On Plane and Trace the Line while keeping the Left Wrist Flat and executing your Hinge Action.

KER-PLOP!
