I didn't even want to try this . . . but after 55 years of pendulum thinking (straight back, straight through) you finally convinced me with your over exaggeration of the danger of the end of swing manipulation that would be needed to make that work. Understanding his reality helps immeasurably - most sincere thanks, Natalie !!! (My putts are magically going consistently on line now - who would have guessed ?!?!?)
Who says they can't teach old dogs new tricks.
Ty for the informative drill
Thanks Nathalie! Great illustration. Makes perfect sense !! Now I know why my puttings been sucing' 4ever! Lol. Love your videos. Thanks again.

How much does putter balance play into arc? Toe balanced vs. face balanced? Thank You.
Like it .
How do you avoid having your eyes follow the putter back .
Thanks for explaining the fundamental of how to anchor the putter. It's amazing so many have been fooled to think anchoring is something only of a longer putter.
Thanks Nathalie. Great visual there with the disc!
Will keep the arc in mind, thanks!
