I look like Phil Mickelson. Standard grip, slightly open stance, play it off the front foot, short back stroke, and short putter length. I even have his putter!

I lean over just so my eyes are over the ball looking straight down onto the ball, with the ball forward in my stance. I very the length of my back swing to control the distance of my putt.

I like Mickelson's putting look. I am not sure I look like him when putting (I am pretty sure that I don't actually), but it is Phil's putting that I visualize when I practice putting.
Do you do the 'circle-drill' like Phil also? It is even in his pre-putt routine!
I have started playing the ball off my left foot instead of the middle of my stance.
And slightly raising the toe of my putter off the ground.
Seems to be working.
I use a reverse overlap grip and switch to left hand low inside 15 feet. I place the ball just off my left heel and about 1/2 inch toward the toe of my blade putter. I keep the same putter till it breaks or is lost. In almost 60 years of golf, I've had 6 putters. I took up the game before lightning fast greens were available anywhere and am a wrist putter.
Slightly open like Nicklaus, but not as hunched over. I use the same interlock grip that I use for all my shots... just got started that way and I can't stand any of the "normal" putting grips.
