Guys, my putting is a borderline disaster. Right now, if I make putts, it's almost as if it's by accident. I can see the line, but I can't roll the ball on it. One of the guys I play with, who has maybe the best short game of anybody I know, suggested putting with an open stance. He putts with an extremely open stance. I didn't want to switch to it mid round, but playing around with it later, an open stance seemed to work.
I know that you do what works, but I am curious if anyone can figure out what I am doing wrong with a square stance that is fixed by having an open stance. Eyes? Ball position? Stroke? It feels like the stroke to me, but I can't describe it. I also struggle with the toe sticking up too much.
With a square stance: My usual miss is a slight block to the right if that helps. If I miss to the left, it's generally hit too hard. If I roll the ball on the line, it's pretty inconsistent roll. I have tried blade putters, mallet putters, high MOI monstrosities. Nothing helps.
