All of these grips/styles have one thing in common that is essential to good putting. The reason golfers switch putting styles is because, they cannot do this one common element with their existing styles. Once they change and do it their putting improves and they believe that style is the answer. Its only that the change took care of the most important element to putting.

Can you name that one common element essential to good and great putting and no, it's not the putter.

Most of putting is luck, especially when you are outside 3 ft, then your make rate goes lower. Mostly due to green conditions. On tour there is an unwritten rule that all cups must have 3 feet of flat space around them, thats why they make so many 3 footers. We don't get that luxury. The USGA recommends 3 ft of flat space around the cup.

The answer lies in whats common to all putting styles and what the real key is to a pendulum.
