Hue,

Point of contact in the middle of the stance. Remember this is a preference, nothing more. I do feel this inables an individual to put the bullet hole through the middle of the ball much easier. By hitting the ball in the same place every time your distance control is CONTROLLED.

Of the countless video I have at the moment of impact the better the putter the lower they hit on the ball.
I'm confused kinda here VJ.

You say to hit down...that would mean to me that you would prolly hit HIGHER on the ball (top to bottom, with the equator being middle), no?

and I thought that putts struck above the equator produced overspin...whereas hitting lower produces backspin. I've read that you want overspin.

What do you think about Brian Manzella's article on putting VJ? Have you read it?

Thanks for all the help VJ.

Two ways to think of hitting the ball correctly with the putter.

Number one- Hit the ball with more of the top of the putter instead of the bottom.

Number two- Hit the center of the ball with the sweet spot of the putter.


The bullet hole through the center of the golf ball and the sweet spot of the putter covering that hole I love. Now that bullet hole would be horizontal to the ground not at an angle up or down.

From here you can get into the low point of the golf swing. The further back the ball the more downwards the putter head will be moving. The further up the more upwards the putter head will be moving. This is the reason I love what george lowe said so long ago, "keep the ball between the feet." By doing this you are assuring yourself of a bullet hole through the baseball on a fairly horizontal plane.

DON'T HIT UP!!!!!!!

...but I thought low point (the bottom of the circle) was left shoulder not middle of stance...no?

The lowest point of the golf swing is the left shoulder. We will go into the ball position soon.
