Dave Pelz a known "expert" on putting scientifically proved over 15 years ago that the long anchored putter was the most accurate way to putt. Pelz writes for Golf Magazine and was a NASA engineer who used all kinds of scientific tests to determine which is the best way to putt a golf ball. According to Pelz, the second best way is the cross hand method or what he calls the left hand low (for right hand putters). In the last few years, many golfers begin to believe his findings and started using his scientific methods. I do not consider myself a good putter but have been using the left hand low method of putting for about 10 years. With this method you do not anchor the club to your body but it does help (especially seniors) with the so called yips.
