Maybe it had to do with playing putt-putt when I was really small because I putt right handed. Sorry lefties. I do everything else left-handed. But whether you putt right or left handed, if you use your "trigger finger" I know you'll start sinking more putts right away.

Steve,
I’ve been using your trigger finger tip on the course and it’s greatly improved my confidence when putting. It’s like I control the ball now instead of the ball controlling me when putting. I think golfers sometimes forget putting equates to about 42% of the game. Anyway, great tip!
Also, your Abe Lincoln was good theater and it made me think about maintaining the spine angle throughout the swing. Your point about raising up just one inch really hit home because I have been told I raise up during the downswing. Now I’ll think of Abe on the way down and try to control it better.
Hope you do a video on the release sometime in the future.
Good luck with the new site. I’m looking forward to checking it regularly.
