Do you "hit" it with the putter, using a shorter swing to give the ball a firm rap, or do you prefer a longer swing to "stroke" the ball? I've seen good putters use both techniques and I've seen poor putters use both techniques.

I believe that the "hitters" with the putter are more into mechanics, and the "strokers" are more feel putters. This is just a personal perception. I have a long putting stroke.
