I've been reading around about right handed putting with left eye dominant (or reversed for lefties). I am strongly left eye dominant and, for example, play pool and do a few other things left handed. But I play golf right handed. I had never realized this can impact how I line up putts. But it makes a lot of sense. First, I don't think this is a handicap but there appear to be better or worse practices (and maybe even putters) for at least some of us.
There is a lot out there about stance, ball position, and getting the left eye above the ball. That makes sense and I am exploring some of those changes. But there is also a lot of confusing information about different putters and offset. Some recommend heel shafted blades with no offset. Others recommend a full plumbers neck (e.g. this is what Tiger uses). Even others suggest RH-LE or LH-RE golfers favor mallets with curved backs; we line up from the back where others line up from the front.
If you are one of the golfers with dominant eye opposite of how you play, do you find that specific putter characteristics help you better align putts?
