In the Jan 10 issue of Golf Magazine there is a feature and instruction article on Dave Stockton.

He provides advice on improving your putting and in the feature he swaers the writer to secrecy to the main key to putting.

The only hint is that it is a body part that you aim with.


So we know he promotes among other things;
  • A wider stance with athletic balance and weighting on the left side.
  • Ball position to the middle of your body.
  • A dynamic forward press or static forward press set up.
  • A smooth stroke with a shortened follow through.
  • any back swing as long as it is not straight back.
Looking at the pictures, watching Phil and looking at a few videos my guess is is the following;

The palm of the right hand (if you are a righty) points at the target.

I initially thoght it was the left hand but his, phils and Michele Wie's left hand (right in the case of Phil's) look like they are strong.

Has anybody had a look at this and come up with something different?

It would be interesting to know?
