Freezing cold, golf limited to putting practice on the living room carpet (nice straight lines). In order to enhance my pitiful knowledge of TGM I began experimenting with loading actions during the putting stroke. Discovered that with float loading (10-19-B) I got a very distinct pop to the stroke and the ball began rolling immediately (a high speed camera would probably disagree, but there was a noticeable difference in how the ball rolled compared to my normal stroke). Since the right wrist becomes involved in the stroke it kind of flies in the face of conventional wisdom with regard to "stiff" wrists and only using "big" muscles.

Just curious if anyone else have experimented with this kind of action and what opinions you might have?

Kumabjorn,

VJ Trolio and Yoda strongly advise against using hands for putting in the Alignment Golf DVDs. That being said, I enjoy Float Loading for some basic motion and acquired motion strokes. There is no reason you couldn't experiment. It will be interesting to see if it holds up for you out on the course when under the gun.
