Big misconception is that a shoulder powered stroke does not close the face. It just does not need to close as much as one with rotation ala Utley's method, which involves no shoulder rocking. Watch Gay, Baddely, and Tiger. Same basic stroke. Compare distance control with someone like Mickelson. I love the look of the Utley stroke, it just is not as effective for me.
Yoda, I noticed that you mentioned that Brian has no shaft lean in his putting stroke. I have also heard that Bettinardi putters can have very low lofts, is this the reason for this? My Yes! is an answer style with 2.5 degrees loft on it, do you think that is too much loft to not have a forward press? As always thank you sir, enjoy the British
