By and large I have been a good putter throughout my distinguished (ha ha) golf career of 8 years or so. However when I have a bad putting day, my friends tell me that I have a decelerating stroke, that my practice stroke has no resemblance with my actual shot etc.
So I went ahead and changed my putting stroke about a year ago - using the Brandt Snedekar punch as the inspiration. My putting seemed to improve a little bit, and then settled into a comfortable pattern again.
Every once in a while I experiment with a few things on the practice green. A line on the ball for alignment, move the ball forward or back in the stance, lighten my grip etc. However nothing seems to impact the results for any length of time. I have now come to the conclusion that putting is totally about feel. Hit the ball to get it into the hole. Forget about technique. Period.
