Do you hover your putter?

Or just start the stroke with the putter resting behind the ball?

I started hovering a couple of weeks ago. Immediate improvement hitting my line, but struggled with pace for a couple of rounds

I do a slight forward press. Noting major but I have found it works best for me.

I can't hover any club. Throws me off. It's why I suck in bunkers, especially fairway bunkers.

Every time I’ve tried to do this I struggle with pace and then go back to not hovering. I probably should try to stick to it for longer but I’m of the instant gratification generation

Struggled with pace was a huge understatement. I was embarrassing myself. But i got used to it & now I’m putting better than I have in years. Nothing to brag about, but better

No hovering. Forward press.

My last movement before pulling the trigger is to raise the club straight up off the ground.

So, yes, I slightly hover the putter

I don't have the nerves to hover it.
