Cruelty.

I have a hard enough time as it is trying to think about what I'm having for tea when I'm over a putt.

Not a fan of Geoff Mangum, comes across as a bit of a zealous preacher. And that will fry your head.

Most people just need to commit and try to be square at impact. Even someone with a little bit of an arch should be trying to be square before, through and after impact. Heck I have a "zing" style putter and I putt straight back and through, the toe weight keeps me square.

Too many "garden gate" instead of swing straight and also die into the ball.

My advice that fixes almost any poor putter is to try and follow through twice as far as you take the club back.

Aimpoint is all I need (express read lesson today!). I went to a SAM lab once just to see what it's all about. Very interesting but a bit too much info for me and I just want to pick a line and trust my swing and feel. If I feel I'm off I'll just work on the stroke at the club with a mirror. Trying to keep it simple

Oh wow ... I'm a software developer. I studied computer science (which includes a lot of maths) and physics. I should be used to stuff like that, but this fries my brain. I mean, should I ever try to write a software that predicts the line the ball takes on the green (which is what AimPoint was invented for originally, btw), I would look into it. But the thought of standing over the ball on the green and having all those figures in your head is downright ridiculous. Even the original AimPoint was way too much theory to handle (Express is completely different and looks much more usable, even though I have not tried it yet). But this is absolutely impractical unless you are an autistic savant with a knack for slopes and numbers.
