open stance with push basic???
Okie-
Are you using a slightly open stance with the push basic stroke? I have been experimenting with it for the past few weeks with success.

How about any other "push basic stroke" putters who are out there? Do you use an open stance, or parallel to the target line?

Yes
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!
