Traditional? Left hand low? Claw? Side saddle? Something else?

Has going "non traditional" helped?

Seems weird to me that for all the "alternative" putting styles used on tour I almost never play with anyone using anything other than a traditional grip.

I'm traditional all they way. No fat grip either. I'm not a good putter though.

I have a fat grip that helps me out a little. I've tried left hand low, but couldn't get comfortable.

I've been left-hand low since I was 10. Used to be way too wristy when putting and the change helped me tremendously. Only gone back to regular twice for a couple months before switching back to left hand low.

Helps that I'm left handed so it gives that hand a little bit more control for me (my hands are further apart than most).

I'm traditional and I suck at putting. Who is the best putting instructor on the Northshore?

I putt with a traditional grip, but my right index finger goes down the shaft straight. I switched to a claw grip putter grip to accommodate my gorilla hands.

I'm traditional. Tried left hand low and it wasn't comfortable for me at all.

Traditional grip

As in my full swing my miss is a pull left as stronger right hand overpowers left at impact
Fixed it in the full swing by gripping double overlap;

Fix with the putter tried the claw for about a year but lost too much distance control now back to conventional but using a large grip.

I use the Davis Love III Prescott routine

Traditional for a left hander.

But I am a Right handed player from Tee Box to around the green, then lefty around the green until I finally knock it in the hole.

Traditional, I use an Oddessy blade.

I started keeping up with length of putts made. They were talking about it a lot on the Golf Channel in the last tournament so I started trying to do it. I made 93 ft of putts in my last round.

Face balanced putter with a fairly straight back and through stroke--not much of an arc

Left Hand Low. I've been putting this way for two years now. Has helped tremendously. I switched from an M2 Scotty to my trusty Studio Stainless with a bigger grip.
