I play it a couple balls forward of centre to encourage an ascending blow that occurs just after peak acceleration.

I place the ball about halfway from the middle of my stance to my front foot.

You sure are ;-)

This is like the third time you've made a change? Putting is read, bead, and speed. Figure out what skill is hurting you on the greens and work on that.

If you're struggling with your putting that much, just see a good instructor.

Yup.

I could putt well (not as well, but "well") with just about any ball position.

Slightly forward of center. Somewhere near there, and you're fine.

Put it there, then work on other more important things in your putting.

    • Day 4 (13 Mar 25) - Easy session today, some work with the 6&7 irons - full swings into the net, followed but bump and runs.  Toss in some pitch work with the Pw with the grandson. 
    • Day 34: 3/13/25 Putting through 50 mm gates. Almost a perfect session.
    • Hands go out and roll too much, which is why the backswing has trouble staying short. The short swing is too long. Then, you know what to do from there. Throw it.
    • Day 2 March 13th, 2025 Hit a small bucket checking stuff on video. Mostly back to controlling swing length and right elbow. 
    • Video 1 of 2025 Lower body is better. Right knee kicks out less. Left knee straightens better. I don’t have that knee bounce post impact. Backswing and downswing with the arms, needs a bit of work. Nice OTT move there. Video 2 of 2025 - hey I can keep it short.  back to trying to keep the swing shorter and control the right elbow. Lots of half backswing feel and very straight arms. Also trying to start the downswing sooner so the swing doesn’t go on forever with the turn. Got to limit it to 90 degrees shoulder and 45 degrees hips.
