Since he didn't tend to putt using a true swinging procedure- I'd guess that he wasn't using a reverse loft putter for that round of golf.


Thanks Mike

I'd have thought it would work for a linear clubhead path too, like a top spin pool cue shot. I dunno. Why not? Although my friend does have a very flat shoulder turn powered putting stroke and a horizontal type hinge. And a chuckle to himself that drives his playing partners crazy.
