Um..... Have never putted so damn well in my life. Pretty-well has been an instant change. No- transformation. Actually, I had been working on it with chipping and pitching previous to using it with putting so....I'd say it could take a week to really get used to- tops. And I'm a swinger, not a hitter either. I used to rock the shoulders but this works MUCH better for me. Just set the right forearm on plane, take it back, and return it to the same point it was at address. Distance control is intuitive (you use your right hand for everything else touch-related), and there seems to be more sensitivity too. Everything is just so intuitive. So don't dismiss it like I did for a while....I now use it in my chipping and pitching game too- with similar success. I also use RFP in the rest of my game BTW. I used to think using the shoulders for the full swing was THE ONLY WAY for me...despite what Homer said. Wrong. After that, I still wouldn't give it a chance with my short game. Ahem- wrong. It's good stuff yall. [EDIT] BTW, I'm now leaning to more of a STT for everything but putting (I still use the r. forearm for putting)....flip-flopped again....you guys know how it is.
