[Overkill]

You are too cool Overkill, thanks so much this is extremely helpful! I am now glad my question was so vague, because you went far beyond what I was trying to ask: what is your opinion in how to use your dominant eye to align the putter.

Thanks again,

Matt

I think the most important thing is that you know. I also believe that those of us who are left eye dominant, putt right handed and are 'spot' putters, which I am, have a huge advantage. I pick a spot a foot or two in front of the ball that I want to roll the ball over; set up with my left eye over the ball and align the putter face with that spot. Even on short putts I don't just look at the cup, I pick a blade of grass, ball mark or other small mark between the ball and the cup.

I believe H B has already covered the importance of selecting a definitive target.

I also took note of something else about my putting while I was playing this morning. All these questions were making me think too much//////(not really); what I noticed is that once I align the putter face to my spot, I don't look up again (move my head). I have a picture of the putt in my head, I align the putter to my spot and I let it go. I believe that, once you are set, if you turn your head to look at the line or the hole, the tendency will be to open the putter face.

This can be real problem for right eye dominant people because they have to turn their heads much more than we do to see the line.
