Bobby Locke, one of the best putters of all times, had a pivot
of the left hip through impact. David Lee of Gravity Golf, teaches a counterfall and pivot for putting. Lee Trevino and
Jack Nicklaus seem to be big fans of David Lee putter teachings.
Maybe you do not have to have a still lower body through impact?

Hi Donn...Good to hear from you from down Orlando way!

As Daryl has suggested, Homer Kelley advocated a philosophy of 'move something only if you have to. Otherwise, don't'.

But regarding the Pivot, he also said that as soon as it became useful (to Thrust the Left Arm), then by all means, use it. If only to teach the Body that it can move (and how it should move) upon the command of the Hands.

The Swinger uses the rotation of the Pivot as a Transfer of the Body's Momentum into the Left Arm and Club. In very short Shots -- Putts -- that Momentum Transfer is not necessary and the pull-Through of the Left Arm (Pull Minor Basic Stroke / 10-3-D) is sufficient to get the job done, i.e., to provide the circular Motion of the Stroke and its Centrifugal Thrust. However, as the Putts get longer (or the Greens get slower), the Left Arm Pull may need a little help from the rotational Pulling Power of the Pivot. In which case, Homer would have been the first to advise, "Use it."

And so would Bobby Jones (who did it his entire life).
