...Greyguy, is to first, trace the plane line with the right arm only, no putter. It may be helpful to hold a laser pen, and guide the light on your base line. I think you are still using your left arm/hand to control the takeaway. Second, after you have mastered a true right forearm takeaway, start making backswings with only your right arm, using your putter. Start making 2 footers using only the right arm. Finally, after at least a few hundred right arm only putts, begin putting with both hands on the club. You will realize how irrelevant your left arm is for your putting stroke. I know this will help...it has worked wonders for me.
PS If you haven't already, purchase the "Alignment Golf" dvd sold on this site...watch the putting dvd over and over. Golden information!!

Excellent advice. I hadn't thought of the right-handed only putting with a push-basic action to help groove that but it's a really good idea. Something about the old "bend the right elbow and maintain the right hand bend" thing that takes some getting used to in my case. Tougher to "cheat" with no left hand on the club and you get a good feel of true push basic. With right arm only putting I can place my left hand on my right shoulder and ensure it isn't moving.
Amazing how many 10 footers I could hole doing this and how good the roll and speed control were with just the right arm.
Very anxious to take this to the course this weekend and see how it transfers.
Draw you a little two foot chalk line at the hole put a 2 balls behind your putter one on the toe and one on the heel. If you take it outside the heel ball will be closer to the line, and if you take it inside the toe bal will be closer to the line. Easy Dril!
