What do all of you do with your index finger putting?
For a while now, I have been using what I think is called a modified fan-grip for most shots that are not max distance, including putting. My grip is the same for a 10 footer as it is for a 150' upshot.
I feel like it works for me, but I also know that almost no pros that I see putt with the index finger actually under the rim. I feel like this generates super easy power, and I just cant convince myself not to do it.
Sometimes though, I get frustrated and start putting with the index finger outside, and placebo myself into thinking that this makes releasing cleaner, etc...then I fix whatever I did wrong to get frustrated and get seemingly the same results with my preferred grip again.
What are the actual reasons people developed this non-index finger powered putting grip?
