The arm only stroke uses a push or putt basic stroke and the right elbow acts as a piston WHILE the right forefinger traces a straight plane line. The shoulders can move because they are considered a part of the power package as well as the pivot, however it is best to keep them steady as possible. Here the right arm will continue to push, straighten, and trace all the way to BOTH ARMS ARE STRAIGHT. This would have the putter head traveling down/out/and/forward to the low point oppo0site the left shoulder.


So low point for the shoulder only stroke and low point for the right arm stroke are different.

V.J.,

Thanks for your original post it helped clear some fog for me.

I like to use an arm only stroke as I am a hitter and using my right arm seems to match up great with the rest of my game. Putting now is a stage one motion to me.

My question for you is.....


Is the "putting arc" a good tool to use for the arm only stroke. Or how should a go about tracing my plane line in an arm only stroke????

Thanks for all your help I look forward to your reply.
