Re: What's your stroke technique with the putter?

That "hit" putting stroke was popular back in the 60s & 70s and before I'm sure. You still see many of the old-timers use it. It has something to do with it being more effective on slower greens, that weren't in the best shape, which was more the case back then. I have no idea why. Maybe one of our technique gurus can explain it better.

I have a smooth straight back & straight through putting stroke... at least in my head. But I don't know if I can trust that, because I think my full swing feels like Freddie Couples' too.
