I would estimate that I have struck perhaps 350- 400 putts. Let's just say 400...anyway, out of 400, I have missed....2. Please re-read my first post, and then re-read my last sentence. 2...out of 400. That is 398 MADE. I don't care if it is indoors and doesn't "mean anything". I am rolling the ball into the hole and verifying it by sight and feel every time. And many many of these putts are going in dead center. This is truly remarkable.
Watch the DVD again and again...watch, absorb, incubate. You will be rewarded, I promise.

That is fantastic Dave. The fact your are indoors makes no difference to my mind. Its the outdoor grass with its vagaries that make things less precise.
Your stroke is sound indoors and out now. Harvey Pennick I believe did a lot his putting lessons on the rug at home after dinner. Homer putted a well worn carpet remnant.

You must be looking forward to getting out there in the spring.
