For as long as I can remember I have picked the putter just barely off the ground and hovered for a few seconds before starting my putting stroke.
My friends noticed this last round out and mentioned that they had never seen someone else do this. I have never thought about it but now watching on tour I don’t see anyone else that does this. I just got back from putting practice and tried to start with my putter on the ground and felt awkward and jerky on the takeaway. I’m planning to spend a lot of time working on this but it just feels weird.
Does anyone else out there hover the putter off the ground before putting or am I alone? Anyone know what the negative effects of this style would be?
