The assistant pro at my club has been getting putting lessons from Mike Shannon and has taught me his method.  It felt very weird at first but I think it's the most solid I've ever felt using the conventional short putter.  Anyone here familiar with Shannon's teaching?

When you get a chance, can you please add a few data points re: Mike Shannon's putting method? Thanks.

There's more to it but basically he has you lock your arms and elbows onto the body and has you control the stroke with your back muscles.  It eliminates flippiness.  Takes a long time to get used to.  He has a web site.

I spent a day with Mike in October and also have all of his notes. The linear /non linear concept is perhaps the most interesting for lining putts and the ball. I would say his 'style' is simply very correct, helping pupils to understand virtues of correct set up, arm alignments, etc. Watching him teach was great as a lot of the stuff, he will simply prove to the student that they already due and work on weaknesses. Great guy too
