Shame about the putting green. Then (if possible) I would just try not to worry about winter putting results and focus on my last summer seasons putting.
I'm interested in why it's different in winter to summer. Do you have pace issues in summer, but hole the returns?
A tip I read for winter or longer greens is to have the ball more forward in the stance. If the greens are longer the ball sits down more, you wnat to be catching it on the upswing to help it get rolling sooner and aid consistent length. Some people might even use a more lofted putter on such greens.
People are asking you to look at how you power your stroke. If you use a lot of wrists it can lead to inconsistency. Another way to check this is to putt with 1 ball normally and notice where your stroke finishes, then take a second ball with top hand only and try to play it the same distance. Ask yourself does it go the same distance? Is my follow through the same length? A yes to both questions is a good thing. I fyou come up short or are following through more you're arguably using unnecessary power sources.
Oddsocks when you say your backwing length is consistent do you mean it's the same for all putts? or gets progressively longer as you are further from the hole? *
*try not to get into the habit of watching your backswing, not a good thing.
