If you have no need of a power accumulator why build it into the machine to get the job at hand done? Putting only needs a very small amount of power so 1 (not PA1) should be plenty 99% of the time.
Hi Bartly. You are lucky to be able to have good golfing companions in your 'hood.

For a while, I putted very consistently with the straight left wrist - more of a left arm putt. Now, I have moved my focus to the right forearm staying on plane or tracing the plane line, since my left wrist now stays straight/flat. By adding the right forearm, the ball rolls with more authority towards the hole and holds its line better.
I’m not an expert – just sharing my experience.
Jerry says you are a decent human being which is the highest praise.
For me, I combine the zero hold with an elbow push. Yesterday, I played a round with our former club champion and club pro. They commented on how my putting and all around game was so much better than they can remember. After several putts, their response was "solid."
Sadly, the shanks appeared out of nowhere and forced me to chip with my 5 wood just to survive. I went from 4 over after 7 holes to 10 over after 9 holes. Anyway, putting was my safe zone, and I snaked putts in from as far as 30 feet away.
Welcome! Daryl, will be sending you a case of umbrellas for official LBG boat drinks and the decoder ring.

Thanks for the comments - how does one go about starting a thread? I have some questions.
from another one in the program - "you can only keep what you gve away"
After watching the "Alignment Golf" putting DVD, I still don't understand how to correctly eliminate accumulator #3 with an orthodox grip. It seems that in order for me to get the shaft running up both forearms I need to have the thumbs located on the outside of the grip (as opposed to the top). Essentially, the left hand is in a weak position and the right hand in a strong position. Any advice?
Do you remember the early days of Tiger ramming 10 foot putts like he was trying using back of the cup as a backboard? I think he did make some adjustments cause his speed and distance control is so much better now than those first few years on tour.
He thinks that line is to some extent subject to the vagaries of the greens surface but that speed is totally within his control. He kicks himself for getting the speed wrong. Of the two direction and speed , generally speaking its speed that most of us get wrong, it might be the more crucial of the two in fact.........its way easier to be five feet short than five feet wide. And so he prides himself on speed control these days. His line aint to bad either.
In regard to the way he putted when he first came out on tour.........of all of the things that impress me about that guys game , the way he became the best putter Id ever seen ........after he came out on tour, ranks as #1. He sure wasnt that good at first. Most guys putted their best when they were juniors , Tiger picked his late 20's and early 30's. Its really kinda weird. Not saying he didnt putt well at times, like his first Masters, but he turned into a different animal later.
Anyone know who or what helped him to make this change? He always said his dad was his putting coach but....
I once read brain research comparing world class violin players.
Most of them start early (as kids), and even most talented ones need to, in order to reach a world class level. But there have been a rare few who have started in the late teens or so. Brain activity scan shows that early starters use a much larger proportion of their brain than late starters do.
To translate this to computer and TGM language, I believe Tiger has a CPU and an OS tailor made for golf. Tiger can probably improve any facet of the game he puts his mind into improving. Because he has the best computer....

While I (amongst others) have my whole game configured on a fragile 360k floppy disk. Needless to say, it doesn't even load every time I tee off either.

I too have questions with this. By uncocking the left wrist you can achieve zeroing out accumulator #3 without running the grip up the lifeline (I grew up gripping the putter this way). But to achieve zeroing out the right hand (the grip in the lifeline on the right hand) I lose my sense of touch as I don't like the right hand palm to much on the grip as I feel "deaf" in my touch hand.
I'm interested in what everyone has to say too.

When I wrote the above post, I may have been confused. I have watched the third "Alignment Golf" DVD again and it seems that the shaft only needs to be running up the left forearm. Is this correct? I am about to go to the practice green to compare eliminating accumulator #3 via the two different methods (i.e. wrists fully uncocked and shaft inline with the left forearm).
