Re: My putting is killing me!!!

I read a post on another website a few years ago that helped my putting accuracy. For some reason I started hitting the ball all over my putter face. Off the toe, putts went right. Off the heel, putts went left. What the poster wrote had to do with turning the lead, (left) hand more counter clockwise, and turning the trailing (right) hand more clockwise. Basically you are opening both hands up, which forced them to work against each other, but kept the putter face square to the target line. If you try this, you will need to expieriment on how much you need to open the hands/grip. Doing this also kept my elbows closer together during the entire putting stroke. The combination of open hands, and elbows closer together made me use my upper arms, and shoulders more, which did away with my off center putter hits. The only draw back for me was on longer putts (25' +) where distance was the issue. Accuracy was there, but I usually came up short of the pin. Hope this helps...GJS
