I am also a right index finger person.

The one thing I concentrate on when taking practice strokes is short back swing, smooth through swing. If you take a long backswing the club tends to declelerate through. If you take it too short the tendency is to pop the ball and it goes off line. This a Tiger Woods tendency when his putting is off.

I wanted to see what Tiger's tendency's are when he putts good and not so good and do a comparison. I discovered the following.

Good Strokes
1. He tries to keep the stoke between his heels.
2. He keeps the putter low to low.
3. His lower body is completely quiet.
4. He turns from his abdomin not just the shoulders.
5. He sets himself before the stroke. (Breathes in and exhales before the stroke) Just like shooting a gun. Breathe in, Breathe out, shoot. Calms the nerves.
6. He uses dead hands and arms, completely lower back, abdomin, shoulders.
7. All these add up to a smooth stroke.

Bad Strokes
1. Quick with his setup.
2. More shoulders and alittle arms.
3. Pops the ball offline at the begining.
4. These things are enough to throw a fast putt offline.

The faster the greens the smoother stroke you need.

In the photo/video section I posted a picture of putter alignment with a ball line.

Hope this gets you started,
