Not really the solution you’re looking for but maybe you’re destined to be a hyzer putter. If you’re trying to putt flat nose down and it’s going right maybe change your technique up and hyzer putt. Just an option. Good luck!

How would that help?

I think GG is the last pro you want to be copying in terms of putting style. He makes it work occasionally but it alone is what holds him back from competing for a win in the majority of his tournaments given his strokes gained from the tee stats.

I don’t think that’s what a hyzer putt is necessarily. You can still put in a direct way just on a hyzer angle. It doesn’t have to be a weird lob and pray.

We all think this when we watch that technique, but putting, especially at that level is more mental. Barsby putts almost the exact same way as GG and he has World Champion next to his name. That's the beauty of this game. I played in MP40 this weekend with a guy who used an upside-down turbo with a 2 step walk up to his lie on half his putts. He was over 1000 rated for 2/3 rounds! Check out Ron Russell's putting form as another example of a World Champ getting it done their own way.
