| Re: Aligning feet on putts I actually setup open to my line. The reason I emphasize line is that while you're putting TO the hole, you're starting the ball ON your line. Put another way: Every putt is a straight putt. You start your ball as straight as you can on your line to the hole. The only time I aim at the hole is a) short putts (inside 2 feet). Even then, if I detect a break, I'll play to the side of the hole (but still inside the hole). b) long, long putts (25 feet or more) - but only if there's no obvious breaks. If it's simply subtle breaks the whole way, I'll just try to lag it close. I like 6" for my 2nd. ![]() But back to the original question: As a straight-back-straight-through putter, I find it easier to keep my putter on line if I'm standing a little open.

| Re: Aligning feet on putts In putting where the feet line up isnt important at all! Its where your shoulders and eyes line up which is important! If you can get your shoulders to be perfectly allinged to your target and your eyes right over the ball! Not much can go wrong! |

| Re: Aligning feet on putts hi dave plez says that opening the stance (feet) makes the shoulders tilt and the eyes tilt too and you miss 15% more putts being open than square, he has a mirror that he puts where the ball is and looks in and if he open or shuts his stance the sholders also tilt, you cant help it without doing things with the arms and hands and that makes the shot even harder. page 66 to 102 of his book the putting bible bill Last edited by bill reed; 09-17-2006 at 11:36 PM. |

| Re: Aligning feet on putts Thanks for the replies, i played yesterday in a match and putted well. I didn't worry about my feet, instead i made sure my right elbow was tucked in against my body. This helped to keep the clubface square and i was lagging it consistently well. |
