With that said, make sure all of this is not just talk, you need to be walking the walk. Don't go a day without working on your hinges, tracing the line, knowing the amount of accumulator #3 you use, or using a stationary head. Even if you check them only for a minute. It is so vital to "lowering" those scoring averages and winning those matches.

Amen....I had a poor putting year... yes, YEAR.. about a month ago I started watching (in a mirror without a ball)my stroke. I couldn't keep my head stationary. Somehow over time I had developed movement that I wasn't able to pick up unless I looked down into a mirror. Then it was obvious.... It took about 4 days of working on it before it disappeared. Now I don't let a day go by without looking down into the mirror and monitoring the path... I used to do this while hitting balls, but as per your suggestion I started doing it without a ball. It has helped tremendously. I do anywhere from 30 to 50 very deliberate strokes and then try and work gaze into it also. I'll repeat that twice sometimes a third time if my back holds out. Last two rounds...27 and 29 putts... nothing spectacular there either, just making 4 ft and 5 ft. putts that I was consistently missing.
