shawn,
ive had the same putter for almost ten years now and when i was younger i always choked up almost to the bottom of the grip because it was too big for me, but now i still putt that way out of force of habit as it is the only comfortable way for me to hold it… i may be hunched over way too much and lose a lot from my stroke. would it be best to try and adjust my stance and straighten up or should i just stick with what is more comfortable and what im used to, even if its incorrect?

@gdevons Hovering the arm-putter unit is very important as it allows you to feel the weight of this unit so that you may feel the momentum properly; see “golf pro lesson perpetually putting” and “golf pro lesson fine tuning the putting stroke”

Shawn-
Do you allow the hands to hover over the turf before you start the backswing. I have found that alot of times when I ground the putter before starting a putt, I hit the turf before the ball. Is this b/c I am swaying and I dont notice or b/c Im bringing the putter back to the grounded position natrually? Nothin like hitting the green in two and embarrassing yourself like this!!

Are the only variables of putting 1. Angle of shaft at impact 2. Path of club 3. Face square to target (close,square, open) ………Ive been trying to think of more but thats all i can come up with…If these variables are correct, your going to hit a perfect putt, disregarding speed…

@pawndominance1,
A big change in setup and technique manipulations isn’t really necessary to get that topspin type roll. With the ball slightly forward of centre, the putter will naturally be rising slightly into impact. You’re on the right track, just avoid making manipulations to achieve a true roll, proper ball position and letting gravity track the stroke will take care of it for you.

@clemshaw ..well if the ideal hit would be a slight top spin, you would putt more like phil mickelson…a spine tilt, with a leaned clubface…almost,wehn exagerated, like hitting a driver if you know what i mean

@pawndominance1,
Ideally the ball would come off the face with a little bit of topspin, allowing it to roll true and not skid off the putter.
The mechanics of it is similar to hitting a topspin forehand in tennis, the putter is moving slightly up into the ball with a solid hand position (no wrist breakdown). Play the putter in the centre of your stance and the ball just forward of that. From there, just maintain a solid “letter Y” with your arm club unit as you swing the putter with momentum.

What is your take on impact..im hearing alot now that you want the blade to be slightly bowed or angled down…that way the ball gets rolling on the ground right away (they slowed it down and you saw how the normal putting stroke impact puts a very small amount of backspin on it…which makes the ball bounce…you may have made avideo on this already but im not sure…thanks for all the advice

The lie angle is extremely important, the putter must be sitting flush with the turf. Shawn’s stroke is not straight back straight through because that requires manipulation and is not a natural motion. Try not to have conscious thought with the ab muscles, just feel momentum swinging the putter back and through.

Can you comment on the importance of the lie angle and face balance of a putter ? You seem to have a straight back and through stroke …does your putter have an upright lie angle ? Is it a face balanced putter ? It looks like the one Payne used…Do you feel that ab muscles get involved in the stroke at all ? Did you ever try a little “squeeze” of the right ab on the follow through ?
