Ive recently gone to a form of the claw grip used by Chris DiMarco. My index finger on top of the grip, middle finger on the side of the putter and the other two off the grip entirely. It might not work for you, but it works for me. Ive lowered my putting average by 3 shots.

Describe your putting stroke and why you use that stroke.

Arc: because it's the only stroke that makes physical sense. :)

I use a very conventional, grip, stance, and putter (old ping anser). My grip is very (loose) soft as I like to feel the weight of the putter head and the soft grip allows that for me. I have practiced long and hard to take my wrists out of stroke and feel my shoulders drive the entire stroke. My ping is "face weighted" as my stroke is more "back and through" on the target line.

I will say that I sometimes struggle on slower greens (8 and below). I have a tendency of wanting to 'hit' the ball which throws my path out of whack.

Peltz: straight back, straight forward, because to me it's the one that it most repeatable ( and makes sense to me )

absolutely the same thing i use. of course, it's physically impossible for a stroke to be completely straight, but i sure ain't trying to open and close the face. i swear to god it's possible to hook a put. i try to go as straight as i can with as little hand/wrist as possible.

I agree with the math on the inside - square - inside but I can't make that consistently work for me. My best putting is along the line of the square - square - square as it feels easier to repeat. That is what I feel, but in reality I would love to know what the putter head / face is really doing when I putt.

Swing = Stacked and On Plane when possible.

Inside, square, inside. Of late its been outside inside on longer putts though which has made lag putting a pain in the butt. Back to the practice green we go...

    • Day 354: shitty, busy week so far. Only had time for a bit mirror work - working on the same things. 
    • IDK, a full turn. That is what it's feeling like. When I shallow the club, it ends where It ends. Should I crank the torso more around?  I'll check a face-on to make sure, but it's not like I am trying to make partial backswings.  The day has finally come, when I am getting comments on not making a long enough backswing. 🤣 too much of what?  Here is my typically routine.... 1) I usually start out just doing position work. The backswing stuff we work on. Turn to A2.5-ish, shallow to A4, pause, arms down to A6. Then, slight pump drill and hit the ball.  2) I do some pause at A4 and arms down and try to hit ball from A4 instead of A6.  3) I do some full swing stuff, trying to blend it all together. Checking video to see if I am actually keeping the club shallow or not. If not, then I go back to trying to train the downswing with the stuff we worked on. I try to blend it all together again, and check video.  What am I missing here? I do the stuff we worked on. I'll keep it at, it's all I can do. Just hope it changes.  Sorry for trying to find a feel that keeps the club shallow.. 
    • Ha ha.... I'm not sure.  I've actually never watched a LIV event. ... but maybe? 👍👍
