Two thoughts that may prove useful to you.... imagine the grip end and clubhead move back and through together (almost a 'lagging clubhead takeaway') More importantly - use your shoulders only - to power your stroke, ball positioned in the center of a square stance for this option of putting technique. A great image that might help is to imagine you've been cut in half at the belt, and your upper body is resting on a table. Your lower body has NO MOVEMENT AT ALL, and your shoulders 'rock' under a stationary head. The triangle of your shoulderline and arms stays perfectly in place during the entire motion. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
