Left hand in putting

G'day

I am just looking for some feedback on a phenomenon that I have found: The relaxed left hand is always oriented to the target in putting. If I can maintain target orientation and the 'feel' of the shaft in my left hand while focusing on the putter blade, then the putt is always true. In other words the relaxed left arm/hand acts like a direction finder. Even more oddly, it will find the correct line to the hole on a sloping green. I believe this is the same for chipping and pitching and even long irons and driving but the putt is easier to test.

Has anyone else had this experience? I am very curious?

I had a putter years ago that would allow you to putt from either side. On a whim one day on the practice green I hit a few lefty. I'll be da**** if they didn't drop. Ended up putting lefty for a couple of years until I bought my present putter. I still think about breaking out the old boy and giving it a run again, but I have been putting pretty decently as of late and don't want to screw up the only part of my game that is consistent. On a side note, when I play pool, I shoot lefty, always have. I try righty and either miss the ball or scratch.
