Have you TRIED putting left handed?
I mean if you're any good at it then just stick with it, what does it matter how someone else putts if you can sink everything within 20ft

Yes, with a child's putter ? Felt ok, I've just ordered a cheap one to try it out.

One of the best players at my club. Ex course record holder changed to left handed putting just over a year ago.
No real idea why. Cant remember what he said. His putting couldn't have been that bad before.
Scores have been fairly similar from what I've seen.
If it works go for it.

If you can putt better that way there is really no reason not to. Buy a £20 left-handed putter and try it out for a round.

Our Operations Manager, used to be +3/+4...... has his name all over Moortown GC honours boards, turned to lefthanded putting for the same reasons. Best give it a go, perhaps with some coaching.

I putt left handed (Left Hand low) on short putts - under 15 foot
Putt right handed on long putts
Never considered a left handed putter but it is now intriguing me.

Do you carry two putters or do you have one where you can use for both left and right hand?

I'm happy with my putting but I've just picked up a belly putter for £5 just to try and I felt really confident so I will keep it and use it when I'm having off days.

This is me.
My nemesis was short putts, particularly for par.
Over lock down, I mucked about with a left handed putter.
I found the process to be more 'mechanical', in a good way.
On the course, derfinitely hole more short ones, but long putts are probably not so good.
But its hard to practice long putts in the living room!

Wouldn't that be illegal due to anchoring?

Years ago when I played at Farnham GC, one of the best players putted left handed from inside ten feet, and right handed for the longer ones. Fortunately he only needed one putter, an old bullseye from memory.

A guy I play with putts left handed. He's a better player then me, though not about the same putting.

I have often thought about. My wife is left handed and have used her putter on the putting green and found it surprisingly comfortable to use. It makes sense as the dominant right hand is in control of the arc, the left hand in charge of power which isn't such a big think in putting, should mean it's smoother, for me as well I am right eye dominant, so putting left handed would mean by dominant eye is lining up ball and target

I putt with one putter, left hand low for short putts, right hand for long putts.

Sorry, I call it a belly putter but i do not anchor it. I use it more like Bryson uses his and lock it up against my left forearm.

Are two face putters still legal?

Yeah when the OP said Left handed I honestly thought he meant left hand low!
