Shoulder position is key to good putting

For consistent results keep your putting stroke as simple as possible.

Your hands should respond to the movement of your shoulders as they rock back and forth. To develop this movement, place a shaft between your chest and arms, then make a normal stroke.

The perfect swing will send the butt of the grip straight up and down (not side to side).

Your hands will respond with a piston-like stroke. This drill will also enable you to see exactly where your shoulders are aiming.
