Posted on Yoda's site too but no answer. Everyone must be out playing golf.
A little background. I have been using the Puttingarc for a few years and really like it. I have been trying hard to go with that style putting and also using some of the Utley information to aid me. What I like about the Arc is that it really shows you how much you need to and can release the putter. I also found that a belly putter is a good putter to show this as well. SO today I took a BP to the practice green to try and work on my release while keeping my left wrist flat. As I was practicing it dawned on me that the BP created a plane from my stomach to the ball. I concentrated on swinging the club in an arc on that plane and my putting really improved. It improved even more when I tried to trace it with my right forearm (would love to have it help me get rid of the y*&^%).
So here are my questions:
1. Is that plane a legitimate plane and image to use?
2. ANother putting website advocates a straight back/thru stroke and the pro wants your neck/forehead and eye gaze to be parralel to the ground which aids in a str8 back/thru stroke. I started thinking about that as well and wondered if in the arc stroke your eye "plane" should be above and parallel to the corresponding belly putter plane in order to help with the stroke. I tried this and it seemed to work. Is that legit?
Thanks in advance.
