EA putting

[Thom]

I'm hitting my putts with a minimum of pivot action, but since I can't get the straight left arm/flatleft wrist to feel comfortable, extensor action hasn't been intergrated in my putting stroke, until I read the Robotic fade thread.

With both forearms on plane, and both wrists bent, this type of EA really feels good and provides a ton of structure. Or so it seems from my experimentations the last couple of days.

I think the opposing pressure EA will become part of my putting stroke from now on....try it out!

Absolutely, this works, and in other threads that include VJ Trolio, he (i believe) and others say that this is the best way to maintain structure during the stroke; as this is the best way to maintain a consistent arc with angled hinging rhythm and travel. I use a shoulder stroke, and in trying this today the feeling is incredible. Good post!
