Thanks for the reply. Believe it or not I have had the same putter for about 25 years. Not because I am a great putter but I am fairly comfortable with it. Some of the things that you mentioned concerning fundementals of putting have been affected by gripping with the palms. I find my putts are less "wristy" which I like. I have tried to accomplish this by just thinking about it and locking the wrists but the palm grip makes it easier. I plan to continue this approach and see what happens. It has helped so far.
