My pro &mdash; and just about everyone else back then &mdash; used their wrists when putting and chipping. Some, like my pro, did quite well with it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"469\" data-end=\"680\">Over the years, though, the game has evolved toward a stiffer-wristed, shoulder-driven stroke.

While it&rsquo;s <strong data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"772\">illegal<\/strong> to anchor the putter to your body, you <em data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"817\">can<\/em> lock it along your forearm using a long putter &mdash; as long as it doesn&rsquo;t extend past your elbow. It works!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"926\" data-end=\"1175\">If you&rsquo;re struggling on the greens or looking for new options, give it a try. Long putters are designed to be more upright in lie angle and easier on your back. Experiment &mdash; and spend more time on the putting green. That&rsquo;s where strokes are saved!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"926\" data-end=\"1175\">For personalized instruction, you can reach Robin All at (803) 238-1655 or via email at&nbsp;<a rel=\"noopener\">robinallgolfpro@icloud.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Robin All If I could go back more than 70 years, to when I first took up golf, I wish I hadn&rsquo;t learned to putt with my wrists!
