Wouldn't your hands have to be touching your body for the laser to even point to the toe line before you ever swing. The shaft would have to be a putter angle. I have read his book and seen him on the golf channel and basically as I understood the swing is was a very upright swing with width and a houlder turn of about 75 degrees and he wanted the swing to be no longer than a 3/4 swing. His son goes farther than what he teaches and he states on the golf channel he constantlly wants the swing shorter. The theory is you will always get good contact and you will only lose a small distance.

Now... I know there are people that play very well that do either of these, and those that are in between.
I don't have the capability, but why don't we put some pictures up of a variety of players, and see what they are doing here. Camera angle of course, may make some difference here.
