I would like to tell you a little bit about me. I'M 59 years old and hav been playing golf my whole life. I played on the golf team in school and was an assistant , [early in my life] to a professional named Pat Laconti who owned several courses in my area . My life long career has been as an airline pilot for Continental airlines which I continue to do. But my passion is my creation of the L2 putter and development of the Lateral Line system of putting.
I've been married for 39 years, have 3 kids and 6 grankids who keep me smiling all the time.

. . . my passion is my creation of the L2 putter and development of the Lateral Line system of putting.

Please go on . . .

The Lateral Line system uses your natural shoulder swing to groove your stroke. In order to maintain a dependable distance controgIl, there needs to be a secure anchor point for the top of the grip so the pendulum motion has an axis to swing from. Also, the club head needs to be big and heavy in order for your shoulder and arm to feel the movement. The Side saddle - face on stroke that is getting some attention has been around for a while. There is a reason why it has not caught on and it isn't because of the direction a golfer faces. It is because we still need this tendency to lean toward the ball and get over the line. If the alignment is correct, and the stroke goeas back and forward down the aim line, direction is taken care of. Facing the hole when you putt is primarily for distance control and depth perception, not line.

As John probably suspects we don't allow advertising on the site except in really rare cases (this will change in literally a week or so, as we'll have "Insiders" and other things available on the site), but John's URL is: http://www.laterallineputter.com/ .

John came and visited Dave and I towards the fall of this year and put on an impressive demonstration. Dave and I are continuing to investigate face-on-putting (and have been since before the Gary McCord article in the January Golf Digest ) and hope to have a full article around the beginning of February, 2011.

    • Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish. 
    • Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
