I had an attempt last summer with this style of stroke - got really good roll on the ball... ball tracked well and felt different on contact but I found alignment alittle hard ...
I read somewhere that Dave Stockton has some of the best putting launch monitor stats ever seen...did he use this method??
Seemed to me a more downward stroke feel when i had a go...

Any thoughts?
I don't know about DS.
Not really a downward stroke. Just down the line. Pretty flat, level and even with the ground.
The push basic stroke is still a 3 - D deal. Low point may not be below the ground with putting, but there are still no flat spots in a circle! What I think you are feeling is the UP and the DOWNtthat was previously missing! Make sure that your ball is not too far back of lowpoint. I think most people, much like with the full swing go too low on the backstroke. I have studied Bobby Locke's putting mechanics, and although he claims to keep the putter head low going back...he did not do that himself! Of course some people need more back than up...most do not! How much up? It depends on the amount of bend in your right elbow.
I have a suspicion that Dave Stockton was a push basic guy. I notice that he had more of an adjusted address, then he set his wedges going back (much like Bobby Locke did) and powered the the whole deal with a straigtening right elbow.
My psychological make up will not allow me to use CF on the greens! One of the things I love about Push Basic is that it allows me to practice bending and straightening the right elbow...drum roll please...WITHOUT straightening my bent and level right wrist
My 9 year old boy knocks it around now and then. That is the only piece of instruction I have given to him. Just bend and straighten your elbow without flattening your right wrist. He doesn't look, look, look yet...but I do!
I am convinced that is the best test for "golfing dexterity." Whether or not you can bend and straighten your right/left arm while keeping the right/left wrist bent. If not then take up War Craft, or something!
