Putting - left below right
Guys,
I am a crap putter - I have seen worse but there is really no getting away from it. I stink.
So, whats the sollution? The latest thing I am considering is going left blow right for putts shorter than about 10' .......... anyone done this ? has it helped?
I think I will go with the traditional grip for longer putts as sureley it is easier to judge distance with the traditional grip?
Your thoughts are always appreciated.

Mark , I put left hand low it has helped me . Why its good is beause it levels your shoulders and i pull with my L hand and it's easier to pull straight as to push. I tend to stay L low for all lengths of putts.
What putter are you using? how long is it? do you putt inside,square to inside or straight back and through? what is your wrist to floor measurement?

I just think yo are getting impatient to see it in the hole, Mark.
The old saying is: "The shorter the putt, the greater the respect.

All these weird grips, and longhandled putters are only for those who have the yips and that is what forced the change in the first place.

If your putting left you are probably looking before the ball has gone opening your left shoulder .

I think putting is very much a cerebral activity and if you feel you are putting poorly, it may well be a self fulfilling prophecy. Why not stop worrying about it especially at this time when greens are not at their best and just carry on enjoying being out there playing (after the snow has gone of course). Best of luck.
