Speed Control
Push basic stroke alone has made all of the hours studying TGM worthwhile! I am waiting for George Low's book to arrive in the mail. I am curious to know how he taught it. Horton Smith may be another candidate for the push basic, tough to tell. It is tough to see the #1 Acc. do its thing, especially on short putts.

A question for you Daryl: Did you find speed to be an issue initially? The ball really jumps off the face. I basically steered my putts with a vertical hinge for 20 years! I went back to an old and lighter Wilson blade putter...which helped. I do a much better job using my right elbow to power the stroke. I can bend that elbow as deliberately as I want to (a great joint...the elbow!)
I am starting to scare the hole from all over the place! Closer to the hole I have to remember to straighten the elbow, though.
