Re: New putting stroke
Nobody's interested in a stroke that is much easier to keep square? By bending the torso over far enough, the shoulders move only "forward and backward" on the rib cage and thereby their movement doesn't open or close the face during the stroke. "Forward and backward" means the shoulders do not change "elevation" in relation to the rib cage. In normal address positions, the shoulders rock up and down on the rib cage, and go forward and backward too, requiring an intricate controlled movement. At the right lean or torso angle you won't pull or push putts anymore due to shoulder movement, whereas with the shoulders going up and down on the rib cage, it's easy to open or close the face.
To be totally clear on the shoulder movement, when you are standing straight up, "up and down" is actually vertical, "forward and backward" is actually horizontal. In position to putt, these directions are inclined in space, but refer to the same shoulder directions on the rib cage as when standing straight up.
