      Geoff: Could you expand your explanation on this statement:

      "So long as there is no arm or hand action independent of the shoulder frame motion in the backstroke or the downstroke (and the backstroke is gentle and not jerky or abrupt), holding the pivot in plane and in place above the middle of the stroke and simply "letting" the arms and hands and putter fall back thru the impact zone will naturally and automatically re-square the putter face ....... "


      I may not be interpreting your statement in the proper context .. because in my thinking the anatomy of the shoulders and upper torso may dictate how the stroke is executed.

      Soft shoulder structure will allow the scapulae to slide or glide over the upper thorax, which will make the arm action independent of the stationary torso and neck.

      Solid shoulder structure will lock the scapulae to the thorax, and the upper torso will have to be rotated to execute a putting stroke.

      With these divergent anatomical examples the shoulder frame motion is quite different. Thanks for your clarifications.
