I marvel at the ability of TGM proficients to power down the lag pressure to produce a different ball flight effect. It is something that I work on every time I pound pills. While working on the push basic stroke was the I sensed (for the first time) a change of gears with regard to lag pressure. Make sense? At least I hope that is what I am feeling! My hydraulic system has a couple of gears!
Does the push basic stroke require a putter that has a bitmore loft than traditional putting with swinging and vertical hinging? Would a bit more loftmake itpossible to use a bit more of a centered ball possition than so far forward as with traditional push basic stroke. THis seems to be what Stan Utley advocates, using a putter with 6 degrees of loft, and feels his acumulator #1, and a frozen right wrist although he does not use TGM terms.

Sorry…I just saw this. I set up square-open not quite like Dianne in 10-3-E though! A couple things I have figured out about a push basic stroke.
Make sure you position your right elbow in a push basic fashion…it is a rather contrived feeling. My tendency is to inadvertently get into more of a punch elbow position (feels less contrived, I guess)
Initially I had distance control issues from close range (a common plight it seems!) I figured out that I was not taking advantage of the fact that the right push basic elbow is already primed for action given its bent status…on shorter putts I take the “pre-loaded” elbow back then go to both arms straight . Obviously for longer putts the club goes further up the plane i.e. more right elbow bend.
Push basic gets me closer to the ball, with a distinctly more upright plane.
ALWAYS go to both arms straight, or at least right arm straight…it don’t work otherwise!
