If you have a putter which fits your eye but you do not trace your plane line then you will not put well. If you trace the line and and use multiple hinges you will not putt well. If you trace the line while having a consistant hinge, but mix right arm and shoulder only you will not putt well. If you trace the line, using a consistant hinge, while using either a shoulder only or arm only stroke, but can't read your putts you will not putt well.

The key here is there is no key. First decide if you are using shoulder only or arm only. Second learn to swing your putter on plane. Third, decide upon a hinge and accumulator #2. Fourth work on your set-up and alignment. Fifth, practice it all into dependability. You can get the putter that fits your eye before or after depending on YOU.

I would guess that people who believe eye dominance is the problem in reality lack the fundamentals outlined in VJ's excellent post.
BTW VJ Singh could use a putting makeover from our VJ - LBG.

VJ,

You got me on that one.
Can you elaborate on accumulator #2?

Thanks,

Bagger

Sorry boys,

I obviously didn't have enough coffee the morning I spoke of choosing the #2 accumulator. Please replace #2 with #3. My apologies.

It is important to gain control over the left hand grip when putting. Holding the putter under the heel of the left hand vs holding the putter under the thumb pad of the left hand. More vs left power- also the more under the heel pad the more difficult to get those forearms on plane.
