Any good rules of thumb for putting?

OK, thank you, I am buying your book. Weather is getting colder, windier, and rainier anyway.

Nope. Amazon takes a big cut. You don't need to create an account or tie it to your bank account, just use a credit card.

When the putts are rolling true, dropping into the hole, all is good.  Keep it up. But, when the putts are not going where you want, are finishing far short, far long, way one side, and esp when the 3 footers always go left/right,  etc. , that's when the search begins. The search to find the reason why the poor performance. In that search we must consider our tool, (buy a new putter), our set-up and technique, (Pelz or Utley), our grip (eleven to choose from ), our delivery mechanism, (a pop-stroke, a smooth accelerating stroke with short backswing,,a no acceleration stroke)... right. an impossible combo of choices to try.

IMO, a still, motionless, head and body are essential. Must also have tension free forearms, wrists and hands; soft is the word.  When suitable line of putt is found, focus attention on a point along that line about a foot from ball.  Have center of putter head contact center of ball and roll ball over chosen  point.  If problems persist, always check head and hands first.  Repeat about 1K times.

Any 'reasonable' technique will do, if the skill level applying that technique is impeccable. Such a skill level takes  a long time and best started when young.

Regrding AimPoint technique  I notice Adam Scott fingering ?? his line of putt (remember Mr. Spock?) and wonder if his, Adam's, putting is better than average, amongst his peers.

He's been doing it for about a year now. He got to #1 in the world, is currently #2. He's currently 36th in strokes gained putting and last year he was 103rd.
