On plane right forearm: Putting

[bcoak]

I use the Claw to eliminate an, ahem, stroke flaw. I would like to use a normal grip, but have not had much luck. However, I have been experimenting inside this winter and came across something that I hope you can advise me on. I have been working on getting my right forearm in line and behind the shaft. It feels very difficult to yip it feels very "locked" Is this an in plane right forearm that everyone discusses? If so, would my previous setup, with the right forearm more under/below the shaft contribute to a jerky stroke?

Yes sir that's the way to do it.

Look at the guys on tour this Thursday.

Every guy I noticed at the Sony had RF on Plane.....when I noticed anyway.

Either do it by placing the grip in the cup of the left hand (if the Heel Pad/Thumb Pad are the ass cheeks, put it in the crack ....i.e. under the Thumb Pad and resting against the Heel Pad vs. under the Heel Pad for any other grip) or completely Uncocking the left wrist at Address.

"Zeroing out #3 Accumulator," as THEY say.

Works good!

what about a square to square putting stroke?

"what about a square to square putting stroke?"
I assume the answer is yes

I don't think a stroke should be square to square ala Pelz.

 

[shootin4par]

why not?

square to square is absolutely fine. The problem is that a natural swing arc causes you to take the putter inside-square-inside, so alot of people end up taking it outside on the backstroke, thinking that it's square.

The REAL problem with a VERTICAL ONLY hinge action stroke, is that YOU are doing it all. In other words, it is ALL manipulation.

If you can do it, it works fine.

If you can't, it will destroy your putting stroke.

#1 flaw in putting is STEERING...

..think about it.
