I have had a little more success going to a push elbow (I actually use punch for most putts)position for the shorties.

I asked Ted about this when I saw him last.
He said that you do not adjust the length of the backstroke (what I was trying to do, which was disrupting rhythm). You adjust the SPEED of the putter through impact, sensing the reduced lag pressure. This allows you to go to both arms straight, even on very short putts. Just make sure that you program the whole stroke for the amount of lag pressure you need. Do not try to slow down on the downstroke or you will be quitting and that produces VERY undesirable results.
