I was approached recently by a member that was struggling from 5 feet and in on the green. He had the tendency to either shut the face down, or wipe it wide open at impact. The cause of this fault was movement of the hands right before impact that would change the face angle of his putter.
The thought we had to fix this problem was to focus on keeping his right thumb on an imaginary flat surface(like the ruler in the picture above). If the thumb stays flat on the paddle of the grip and it moves on the flat surface the putter face will stay square through the ball at impact. Practice this and you will hear more putts hit the bottom of the hole!
