Sweet Spot And The Bullet Hole

[cometgolfer]

Any suggestions on how to effecitvely "hover" the putter to get the sweetspot to be able to "cover the bullet hole". It looks like the sweetspot of a new putter I have rests about a third of an inch above the equator of the ball when resting on a solid surface. I just did some practice putting on an indoor/outdoor carpeted surface and impact feels terrible (lots of vibration) unless I intentionally elevate the putterhead to get the sweetspot off the floor. Whenever I hover at address the putterhead seems to be moving around (but impact is very solid). The movement is slight but distracting.

Is it just a matter of repetition until you get comfortable enough with elevating the putterhead to take it to the course?

comet,

most of the mallet putters these days have a horizontal sweet because of the center of gravity being so far back and the companies loving this MOI. A proper heel toe balanced putter or blade should have a sweet spot which runs linear up the face covering the entire putter face.
