It seems to me you are using an arm only stroke. You a close to the ball for alignment and also so that you can possilbly feel your elbow moving (possibly it rubs your shirt) and you have no use for the shoulders. It may "feel" like your right elbow is bending in the backstroke, straightening in the downstroke, and the left elbow is bending while the right arm goes to finish.
At THE point that the target line would emerge at the BACK of the ball - Dead centre. All putts are straight putts as far as the stroke goes, mother earth takes care of the rest.

The bullet hole direction would need to match impact fix and the considered variables (hinge action, etc), no? Wouldnt it need to compensate (directionally) for the amount of time the ball is on the clubface?
Personally, I prefer a shoulder stroke - better now as pivot controlled hands - uh oh...am I in trouble now???
Philly,
You can't have pivot controlled hands in putting because your pivot is zeroed out. I have seen you putt, remember the shoulders are double agents, part pivot, part power package!!!
Even if you zero out the Pivot, if you maintain Lag Pressure (which you should have even in putting!) relative to the Body rather than the Plane Line, that will be symptomatic of a Pivot Controlled Hands procedure.
Interesting response.
My thinking has the point of impact still slightly inside aft quarter...even when putting. Video shows this produces an end over end roll. Trying to stroke through the back center of the ball creates a slight cut stroke spin. This is because we stand astride the ball, not behind it.
Video was done in 2001, and not uploadable. It would be interesting to hear a more sophisticated analysis of this question.

I have to think the same way.....I'm not sure how much towards the inside though.....prolly pretty small.....but there anyway...
