Geoff please, forgive me

Hi Geoff, I ask your pardon;

if you remember some time ago we discussed about using the line on the ball for targeting (my choice) or selecting an "impact dimple" behind the ball (your suggestion).

Honestly, this is the only real point I prefer to ignore and use a different personal "style" (I see so many pros doing that).

Totally wrong, or almost; the line on the ball is really useful in avoiding optical illusion when aiming from the address position (I think the line choosed from behind the ball is always right) but is really unuseful and damaging during the stroke; trying to follow the line with the path of the putt is not good and unuseful too.

Yet the line can be very useful: at the moment of the truth look at the ball and follow the line on the ball toward the impact side; you can easily find the impact point where the putterhead must hit the ball; now fix your eyes on it...

I noticed that on a straight putt if you choose the right impact point and fix your eyes on it during the entire stroke and then successfully hit it, it is quite irrilevant the path of the putterhead; try putting whit a putter path outside-in or inside-out but centering the right impact point, it always went straight in the cup. I'm not suggesting not to care of the putter path but for precision the real important thing is hitting the right spot.

But you told me this from the beginning...
