Well i did suggest i was probably mistaken in my post

I was sure there was a rule that prevented putters from being free standing but cant seem to find it in the R&A rules

My mistake

There are Manufacturers (benross and ping I think) that do a putter that you can leave standing up, walk away, check the alignment, and then come back, tweak it, and then hit it. Naff, but legal.

If you have your hands slightly behind the leading edge and release the grip the putter will close. If you have your hands in a forward press the putter will open. Think it is Zak Johnson that has his hands held behind the ball, whilst there are a lot of players with a slight forward press. Can't see a problem as long as you don't let go of the putter at impact.:lol:
