Cross handed (left hand low putting) right arm position

[Jasonbolt]

I'm a right hand player, and I've been putting left hand low since I picked up the game.  However, I never know exactly what position my right elbow/arm should be in.

Should my forearms be parallel?

Should my right elbow be tucked in close to my right hip?

Should my elbow be pushed out away from my body, like Jack Nicklaus?

What are you feeling in your setup or stroke while putting cross handed?

Depends on how you like the putt.  Do you like to stroke it with the left hand, right hand, or have "quiet" hands by moving the putter more with a body motion. (and yes I know what I just said ).  Body stroke, not referring to rocking the shoulders, which tends to move the head, but feeling the stroke generated from the top of your spine.

To be honest I haven't done that much research with left hand low and elbow locations but I would say the right elbow should be somewhere between "tucked in close" and "pushed out away from the body".  Elbows are probably pretty level with the left shoulder slightly above the right.

I putt left hand low and basically make my left arm an extension of the putter shaft and my right elbow is away from my body, like Jack.  But when I putted conventional, I putted with my right elbow away from my body.  IMHO, putting is the most personal of strokes and there is really no right way or wrong way to putt, what ever feels right to you.

If it were me, and I had a case of the yips and needed something to rid me of them, I would change anything and everything.  However, if you are basically a solid putter and just looking for some tweaks, try going left hand low but keep most of your other basics in place.  Just a thought.
