If you are running putts that far past or leaving that short, then I would suspect you are getting “flippy” with the wrists in your stroke. A drill to fix that is to take the putter head back much slower than you currently do. The slower back-stroke will help you with timing and let the putter head do the work instead of feeling like you need to bat at the ball.

I’ll give the slow take back a shot. I appreciate the suggestion.

I do notice there are times I tend to “jab” at the ball. It’s just a weird thing I revert to from time to time. I think the 30% back and 70% forward swing thought for putting has me thrown off.

what helped me with this technique above is to have the most extremely soft grip as possible. i was strangling the putter for a while, and flying everything past the hole.
