Yes , even if you do not go to the both arms straight position while putting, Homer said to at least straighten the right arm to full extension. Tried it for a day but was uneasy, obviously it wasnt my style but persevered for about 1000 puts and cannot tell you the difference in the quality of the stroke. Perfect impact. Ball stays glued to the putting surface like on a magnetic green when you get it correct. Maintains its line perfectly due to no upward action but a 'througher' extension of the right forearm and clubhead down the line. No wrist action holds the clubface square and BOOM!

Accuracy and feel is amazing amazing!!!

Dont see many players use this action visibly on tour. Most seem to have both arms bent through the stroke. Sure you have to be more upright and stand a little taller to use the extensior action. Looking back I think Tiger uses it and so does Hal Sutton. Sure others do too but I'll notice other players when I see them.
