Putt 68% Better Insatntly And Fix The Yips Too!
Proven yip fix is simple but takes guts.

The conventional putting technique does not take advantage of our inherent tendency towards our bodies right or left sidedness, our natural and previously learned skills or perception of paceand direction afforded us with our binocular vision.
Oddly enough, most of us have had this idea before and tried it with our own putters that are not suited to this technique. Usually it's part of a desperate attempt to find some magic solution when our putting goes sour. Even though it may work pretty good right away, most of us discard it after a couple of feeble attempts because we thought it was probably a fluke, feels kind of awkward, looks silly and would take to long to perfect it. Besides, there must be something wrong with it or everybody would putt this way. Many golfers saw the potential, stuck with it, and now consider putting the best part of their game... suprisingly, about 15% of the visitors to this site according to my poll.
Before you go any further with this, go get your putter right now. Find a straight line to make a stroke over. The tile lines on a floor will do just fine or grab another club and lay it down along your intended line. First set up over it with your regular stance and try to stroke the putter back and through while keeping putter face square and the center of the head directly over the line both back and through. Now grab the top of the grip with your left hand like an ice pick. (If your right handed) Place your right hand about half way down the shaft and pinch it in the crotch between the thumb and fore finger or grab it in the palm as you would with your conventional stance. Face down the line and place both feet to the left a few inches apart. Anchor your left forearm to your body. Lean forward enough to get the putter head close to the ground. Swing the putter back and forth over your line from your right shoulder letting your left wrist roll with the stroke. Notice how much easier it is to keep the putter face square and over the line during the entire swing... particularly at the critical impact point and the follow through.
Please forgive me in advance if I seem a little "testy" about this, but in my nearly 5O years of golf I have heard a lot of "excuses" and not one rational argument for the conventional putting stance over sidesaddle. In my pursuit of material for this page I am more convinced than ever that putting while facing the target line is absolutely, positively and without question the easiest and most accurate way to get a golf ball in the hole from any distance. The evidence is so overwhelming that it has become painful for me to watch the torture that "conventional" putters continue to deal with.
If you don't face the target line when you putt, you are not the best putter you can be!
