"under the butt of the left hand", he says??? I think it's less in the palm but not under the heel.

My golf buddy grips his putter like he grips all other clubs, and he's a decent player, so I guess it up to you. But I think in the palm of the left hand is classic. You can have your forearms on plane and the back of the left hand corresponding(?) with the putterface.

I'm fairly positive he said under the heel pad. Of course, he may have changed this since the book. I'm personally in agreement with you as far as gripping it more in the palm of the hand; there's less play in the wrists, which is big for me as far as consistency is concerned.
