Yes, he is, but he's way out of the circle.

And of course, Straddle putting vs Staggered Stance. Both spin putters.

First two are from the Blake T short arm putting video and the latter four appear to be a push putter/short-arm putter with a longer putt so a little more elbow/wrist motion, but nowhere near enough to call him a spin putter at all (IMO).

I was wondering if there was a good video showing spin putting, maybe in slow motion. I have predominately been a loft/pitch putter, and that works fine. I still do it in most situations. However, I would love to have a solid spin putt. I cannot seem to get a clean release. There is a lot of flutter. Thanks for any advise.

Dave Dunipace's "snake style" putt (for vid, see OP) is practically a spin putt on steroids. I think most flutter problems with putting comes from not having clean "finger spring."

Feldberg is a good instructor; very thorough in his explainations. So often you have people that can do but can't teach, or vice versa. He's a rare case of a person which can do both.
