looking for some advice here. not exactly sure whats happening but i seem to have developed a sway in the putter head during the stroke. if i line up a series of tees opposite to each other in a line and stroke the putter through them, i crashed into them constantly. it must be something in my set up, any ideas?

Could be a number of things.

I was having this issue, and i actually switched putters. I found that i couldn't line up my blade putter well, i would be standing over the ball, adjusting, no way to putt like that. So i switched to a mallet putter, i love it. But what i also like to do is put weight in the handle. This helps me stabilize the hand movement in the putting stroke. Problem when you have a putter, the head weight is massive compared to the butt end of the club. Lets say, head weight usually around 340 grams. Grip end your looking at 70 grams. That is a huge weight dispersion. So what i did was stick about 30 grams of lead tape under my grip. This really helped me a lot.

    • By today’s standards that’s certainly true, but they weren’t having any trouble hitting golf balls in 2005 so I’ve equipped myself with what was among the very best equipment around that time for a very reasonable investment. If I get to the point where I feel like I’ve outgrown that stuff, I’ll reward myself with something more current. But for now I don’t need adjustable loft and lie and modern head shape, just a good quality, proven club with a clean club face. For now I’m going to concentrate on the basics. I know you can get more yardage with newer woods, but I don’t care about distance nearly as much as consistency, and you can’t buy that for any price.

    • Trying to feel bit more external rotation of the trail elbow at A4. I think better than what have ever been able to position it.  Forward lunge at impact still a work in progress. 
    • Because you're twisting it to hold it open. Forearms, etc. shouldn't be all that tense at setup.
