Putting stance | Golf Monthly

I agree it's what works for you.

I have been considered a good putter by my peers, I did get into a downward spiral with my putting a little while ago, I started using a straight back and forward putt as suggested by Dave Pelz. The more I worked on this style the worse my putting became, I tried shortening my putter, using a face balanced putter but all to no avail.

In frustration I grabbed an old putter of mine that was longer and with a bit more weight, along with my current putter. I went to the putting green and spent 3 hours trying different styles, I found that a more upright stance with an inside to square to inside putting stroke created the best results. I have now set my putting stroke on this style again and have started to make so many good putts once more.

To get back to the OP. I do like to flex my knees a little as it removes tension.
