I am trying out Utley's putting stoke and I realize my thru swing the putter is finishing higher than in his pictures. I am playing with a standard lie angle putter (72*? Yes!) though and not flat like he suggests. But I think I must be missing something. Any suggestions? Has anyone else had this problem when switching from straight-back-straight-thru (SBST)?

I'm currently doing the same thing you are: trying out Utley's putting stroke. So far I'm having great luck with it, and I can feel my putt better than before. I haven't concerned myself with the height of the stroke very much. I've been focusing on feeling my elbows sort of fold and unfold. Its a little different since I'm used to trying to rock my shoulders, and now it feels more like I'm rocking my arms instead. But it also feels very natural and relaxed. We'll see how it translates to the course.

    • Day 302: mirror work today. Worked on feels to get my hips open more. 
    • Day 54. Was in a good place last week. Yesterday’s round killed my confidence.  Full swing practice trying to get back to where I was but struggled with being tired and tense. Back to basics tomorrow. 
    • Welcome back! Evolvr.com? I don't use the full extreme end of it, and that's probably dipped to 75% or so nowadays. But I use the sole more than I don't, yeah. Also… it's good to learn this shot: Middle up. Not generally outside your feet in either direction. I generally have it slightly forward of center, yeah. Short version: tip your upper body in the direction of the slope. Look at the GC3. You can find them for really good prices sometimes.
    • 3 rainouts in a row….that’s SAD Sorry, I’m in MI or I would take you up on a round.
