Putting low point

[300Drive]

...., a player could lean the shaft forward a great deal and move low point forward (aiming point) with a standard lofted putter. Hooding the putterhead in effect.

Shoulded the putter shaft lean forward of the ball at set-up and at impact (with angled hinging)?

It depends on the offset of the putter. A putter with no offset will not lean as far forward as a putter with half-shaft offset......and so on.

It can be argued that a putter with no offset should not lean forward at all.

What about the LOFT of the putter in regards to forward lean?

[vj]

The greater the forward lean, the less the loft. Differences in loft lead to differences in feel and roll. While some putters are being designed with zero loft and the cog of the putter as far back and down from the putter possible, I find it
difficult to TRUST the PUTTER'S SET-UP to the PLAYER.
