my putting woes picked right back up where they left off last season. my biggest problem was starting the putter off on the correct line. i had immense trouble with this, but after trying out a friends scotty cameron detour i was sold. it feels like i have a legal putting aide on the course. however my speed and ball striking ability still suffered. after a 3 putt bogey on 8 i found myself messing around with different strokes on the green. i found myself using only my right hand during the stroke and simply leaving a dead left hand on the grip...almost like the face of my putter and my right palm were aligned and "pushing/rolling" the ball. i went on to make a birdie putt on 9 and never looked back. after 19 putts (ouch!) on the front, i had only 13 on the back. honestly, it's the first day i've felt really good about my stroke in over 10 years. just thought i would share my excitement and maybe this tip will help someone else out there.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      A strong grip cups the wrist (lead) and then it wants to flatten through impact, something I used to be able to avoid to keep it from going left and protecting my forearm (the main premise of my set up). Longer the club, harder it is becoming. Either way, yes, I need to transition to gripping it open.

      Why don't you grip it "open" so you can return your hand to the place where you're comfortable/not sore, but the ball won't go left? It's effectively weaker… without actually "being" weaker?

      Idk but I would have to imagine that a putter that is aimed where you think it's aimed would be the most important aspect of a putter
