The left hand is the fulcrum in putting for all styles, except left hand players. It would be the right hand. It is the face of the club. Once it wobbles = miss hit
Average golfer (24 hdcp)(ages 60-70+) 3 putts three times a round. If he or she one putts a few than 6 or 8 is reachable. The higher the handicap the more reachable as 3 putts grow with handicaps.
The lower handicapper may have 1, 3 putt a round, BUT, they will make 3 more putts
with a square club face.
This is not LABS just common mechanical sense. Once the fulcrum is set, you can putt with your arms, shoulders, hand, wrist, forearms, whatever gives you feel.
Whatever style you are, stabilize the left hand, tighten, a little bit at time to find your square face, and you too will make more putts. If you have 36 putts per round, it won't take much to get to 32. If you have more than 36 its a gimme to get lower.
Give it a try and let us know...........

It's completely untrue for most players and surely for the vast majority of PGA Tour players.
I think people have been spending too much time, watching L.A.B. Putters "Revealer" video ... which the majority of Tour players think is nonsense.
Take 6-8 shots off your score? If the average 16 handicap golfer could statistically putt as well as a PGA Tour Pro, he'd save approximately 4 strokes per round (this according to Mark Broadie, the inventor of the "strokes gained" metric).
The fact of the matter is, the average golfer putts way better than he thinks he does. When watching golfers on TV, we're only seeing the leaders ... the guys who are putting well at the moment. Not a fair basis.
