I have it forward in my stance but not a long way, just a ball or two forward of middle. I had a putting lesson a few years ago and he advised to do that. It definitely promotes a better roll on the ball as you hit it slightly on the up instead of towards the ground.
It's a fair comment
Well it depends on the length of putt obviously.
I was the same, I've now gone back to having a line on the ball and aiming that along the line I want to start the putt on, I've been doing that again for a couple of months and when stood over the ball it still looks to my eye that I am going to miss left, it took a little while to trust the line.
Putted fantastic again yesterday with the ball on my lead heel, easily the best 2 rounds of putting I've had in a long, long time. Definitely going to stick with it.
I wish I could remember what a decent putting round was like let alone a fantastic one. Stuck it inside 10 feet on 2nd 3rd and 4th and three putted the 2nd and 3rd for bogey and just got a smelly 4 footer for par at the 4th. I might give this a go tonight. Something has to click
ShotScope has my putting at a 20 handicap while my index is currently 4.3 so I know all about bad putting. It's just a shame my V3 watch broke mid round last week (just reboots when trying to read tags or get gps) so I don't have actual stats for the last 2 rounds but what I do know is that I've holed more long putts in the last 2 rounds (5 in total over 15 feet) than I have in the last year combined. I've also made a far higher percentage of putts in the 4-10 foot range over the last 2 rounds.
