Putter Path Direction
This graph displays the path of the putter viewed from above during back swing (dotted lines) and forward swing (solid lines). The different putts are indicated by different colors, with the first putt at the top.
The most common compensation found in PGA Tour players is a putter path pointing to the left and a putter face slightly open at impact. Many Tour players tend to aim the face to the right edge of the hole because they know that they tend to pull the putt under pressure. In addition to pulling many players also manipulate the putter face through impact under pressure. Consequently the players are more concerned about a closed putter face at impact with a putter path pointing to the right.
Please note that the effect of errors in putter path direction on ball direction is about 4 times less than errors in putter face alignment at impact. This means that a 1 degree open putter face at impact has the same effect on ball direction as a putter path pointing 4 degrees to the right.
