One hand dominant putting

Been having a shocker with my putting lately. Even as I take the club back I can feel it going off line either inside or outside and that leads me to make a nervous jab at the ball

Anyway in an attempt to try ANYTHING to cure this I started having a very light left hand grip and being right hand dominant feeling as if it was only my right hand pulling and pushing the club back and through and my left hand just held on. Anyway this seems to have made a world of difference and feels much better, and im wondering if anyone else has a feel similar to this or if its just a transient miracle cure that will get me sooner or later

One thing I think happens when I hang on too tight with the left hand is the club is twisting in my hands. Using just a pull/push type motion with my right palm really seems to be helpful

Thoughts? I need to become a much better putter this year. Im convinced I can get my handicap down to 6 or less as i figure I'm losing about 6-8 shots a round with poor putting
