DG,

I agree that the 21 Points in 1-L apply to all Golf Strokes, from Drive to Putt. And referencing them as the bedrock for any chosen Principle or Procedure is an extremely useful discipline. But I am curious...

Why did you choose 1-L #12 -- "Ball Speed is dependent upon before Impact and after Impact Clubhead Speed" -- as particularly applicable to Putting, especially as an alternative to thinking in terms of Thrust, i.e., Hitting (Pushing) versus Swinging (Pulling). I have my own rationale, but again, I am interested in your view.
