Was on the putting green a couple days ago,, working on my putting and ran into the "guy".. the one that knows all about putting from his many degrees, being friends with many tour pros and Tiger's friend Patrick Reed..
So anyways, before I could run away..he looks at my putting stroke and says I need to have the club flush against the ground, and eyes pretty much over the ball, with weight 70 to 80% on left side.
He also said for most pros, it's their left hand that is the dominant hand on the putter, with the right sorta along for the ride.. The other stuff he said I took with a grain of salt, as just coming from someone all knowing, but while I didn't say it at the time, the left hand dominant thought intrigued me. Being a righty, I feel like I putt best when my right hand is dominant and the left is along for the ride, but I do feel when I miss putts mainly low on left to right putts, it's because of an overactive right hand.
Any one with similar feelings or thought in terms of a "dominant " hand in the putting stroke. The left hand thing feels like it makes sense, but not sure if I want to venture down that road as far as tinkering with putting stroke... Anyways, just curious what y'all think..
