when things go awry (i.e. alignments are off) I do what Edz suggests and assemble my wedges on a horizontal plane. I found that it is possible to have the grip in the cup of the right hand and still be misaligned, usually on the uncocked side of things for me. On the horizontal plane it is easy to to make sure the grip/shaft is running up the center of the arm, not just in the cup. The left arm I start with the grip in the cup, shaft running up the center of the arm (i.e. zero # 3 Acc.) I then place the grip under the heel pad without changing the level wrist alignment.(adding #3 Acc. angle) I have found that I get lazy and I tend to settle for "high hands" (position golf) instead of verifying the correct alignment. So essentially I went from the popular orangutan look to the anemic high hands look, neither of which is geometrically viable! I went through a spell of dodgy putting. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel I simply checked my alignments. Whithin 2 minutes of my diagnostic I discovered that my right wrist was uncocked. I zero out #3 Acc by uncocking my left wrist (never liked the putter in the life line) instead of a level right wrist companion I had a duplicate uncocked condition. The first stroke I made after correcting the misalignment was pure butter! The hands have it, people!
