Last year Sports Illustrated Golf Plus section did a review of Stan Utley's teaching of the putting stroke and it showed a series of pictures of Tiger from behind. It showed the toe of the putter opening slightly as it came back, straight at impact, and toe closing slightly in the follow through. Two nights later I see Dave Pelz on the Golf channel with the magnificent Perfy showing the "straight back, straight through" stroke followed by a clip of a pro supposedly doing this---the pro was Tiger. And while Mr. Pelz was commenting about how the putter is going straight back, the clip clearly shows the toe opening!! I just chuckled. Oh well, he has a Gulfstream and I fly Air Tran.
VJ, question about the Putting Arc. I have adopted the Jack Nicklaus putting set-up and, with Yoda's help a couple of weeks ago, now have only movement of my right arm while putting (bends at the elbow going back and then push forward to straight right arm after impact). Would the Putting Arc be of value for this type of stroke?? Thanks, Dr Dave
