The Putter face should point in the direction of the intended starting line of the putt. The feet, knees, hips, forearms, and shoulders should all be set parallel to this line. The left eye should be positioned over the ball with upper part of your back and neck nearly parallel to the ground. The golf ball should be placed slightly forward in your stance.

The shoulders should turn back and through during the swing and should be set parallel to the ball target line during the set up. In the back swing the left shoulder should turn approximately 90 degrees with the left shoulder turning back over your right foot.

Putts are hit with the shoulders and no lower body motion.
