thanks.
The real question is whether your going to use vertical or angled hinging...Tom Tomasello taught a hands only putting stroke per 10-20-A with angled hinging...I have seen Ben Doyle teach a right arm triggered putting stroke with angled hinging. There are a number of instructors who use vertical hinging...if you know the difference between the two hinging actions, the putting stroke with vertical hinging is really a manipulative stroke...the putting stroke with angled hinging is a very natural action...

Instead of thinking hitting or swinging with putting, I believe the key is one should be thinking along the lines of 1-L-12 and 1-L-15...please read and study those two facts in 1-L...as Ben Doyle says in the "Foreward" of the book..."The 21 facts in the third edition, 1-L, have been so useful for precision golf...
