FAQ About Sidesaddle Putting

Most FAQ:

"If it's all that good, why don't the pros putt this way?"

Noteworthy: Question is somewhat misleading.

Actually, a far, far higher percentage of golf professionals do putt sidesaddle than do amateurs once you include club and teaching PGA members.

As it turns out, there are so many top touring pros that think it's unfair and not in the essence of the game, it's obvious the others would be hesitant to offend them. (see below). No player wants to beat another using a method that is not generally accepted by most PGA professionals.
When some pro with the guts putts sidesaddle and has the overall game to win, others will have to follow in order to level the playing field again.

Many "elite" pros even chastise V. J. Singh, Sergio Garcia and others for using belly and long putters.

Also, professionals suffer from the same unenlightened perception the rest of us do.

There is hope however, look at all the old and new techniques and equipment changes that are being made on tour.. after some other brave (or well paid) pro is willing to try them first, of course!

As a well known golf commentator (who will remain nameless but his initials are P. K.) remarked:

"Most professionals are just too embarrassed to try them out."
