This Putting Stroke is simplicity defined. Think of your Right Forearm as a piston: You set it On Plane, and then you pull it back and push it through. Everything else stays still. If you point your Right Forearm at the Plane Line, you get automatic Angled Hinging. If you set it parallel to the Plane Line, you get automatic Vertical Hinging.
Thanks for the great post, as I always believe in paragraphy 1. The hand feel/pressure and a good impact are crucial, where the distant can only be found by our hands and not the shoulder nor pivot, where the hands is always our sense, just like a radar. Can we call it Hands controlled pivot?

Regarding Jack's Stroke, he was -- and is -- an 'Arm and Shoulder' Putter. His success noted, it is preferable to be either an Arm Putter or a Shoulder Putter, but not a combination. That is because the 'Arm and Shoulder' Putter has developed a technique whereby a partial Right Arm extension is being compensated by a mini-spinout of the Right Shoulder Turn. In other words, the Right Shoulder is used to Close the Clubface left Open by the less-than-fully extended Right Arm.
Unfortunately, problems arise when the 'Arm and Shoulder' Putter attempts to make the conversion to either 'all Shoulders' or 'all Arms.' Here's why:
Arm Putters fully extend the Right Arm on each Stroke, and as a result, the 'door' (of the Left Arm Flying Wedge) Closes completely. Failure to do so results in a 'door' that remains Open and hence a Push. Shoulder Putters freeze the Arms (either Bent or Straight) and move their Shoulders parallel to the selected Delivery Line (either the Plane Line or the Angle of Approach). Failure to do so typically will result in a Pull.
I presume we can only pick either one: Pivot controlled hands or Hands controlled Pivot but not both. If you are threading, by holding the needle with your left hand and using right hand with the thread. It is always easy to put the thread through the eye of the needle by just using the right hand and leave the other one stationary. Easier for us to aim. Of course we can use both hands, but I presume the "first" is easier.

So, for the player attempting to become an 'Arms only' Putter, when you take away the Closing Clubface of the Shoulder Turn, he is left with the partially-extended Right Arm Push. On the other hand, for the player attempting to become a 'Shoulders only' Putter, when you take away the Clubface left Open by the still-Bent Right Arm, he is left with a Shoulder Turn Pull.
If you are a swinger, it is always use horizontal hinging and if you are a hitter it is always good to use angle, just to make it standardise as I was told.

What to do?
If you're satisfied with your Putting, do nothing. If you're not, then reread paragraph one and get to work!
I only use my right arm ,my left arm to balance the putter. Paragraph one is absolutely perfect and easier. Again, I was told if you are just using right arm as a piston, then the low point will be at your left shoulder. And if we are sort of in between, drag load then the low point will be more to the centre (where the centre of the swing is close to sternum). I am still trying to figure that out, as the low point is vital for my ball position. For ARC OF APPROCAH;the ball position is vital for the direction (Obviously putter fitting for aiming are important too)
So Yoda,does it make any sense of what I am writing, please guide me.
