Putting tip from The Fix worked

[CarlSpackler]

I had The Golf Fix on last night and noticed a tip that I tried out at lunch today. The host (what's his name) was using a hanger to help align the putter so that the angle of the shaft was the same angle as the arm (couldn't think of a better way to describe it). I didn't use a hanger, but I did set up that way and hit a few dozen putts of various lengths and it felt like the putter head was going back and through so nicely and my ball was coming off the putter head dead on line. It felt like there was no use of muscles in my forearms, etc. I was parking 30-40' putts to within a few feet and holed many putts inside of 10'.

If I ever complain about pour putting, someone smack me upside the head and point me to this post.

i agree i tried this as well and seemed to help start the putt on line better. i also tried the other tip he suggested about tempo. you just simply put a coin in the cavity of your putter and the goal is to swing back and through with out the coin falling out of the cavity. if you have trouble putting consistently try this drill. all though if you use a two ball putter or something like that. that doesn't have a cavity on it i think your SOL.

I tried that the other day with my ball marker actually...till i realized it was magnetic...(just kidding)

I do have a cavity, but I think I need to see my dentist about it.

j/k. I haven't tried that, but I think my tempo is pretty good with the putter.
