How fast should it be? Are there any guidelines for backswing speed? Obviously, the backswing does not impact club head speed through the golf ball. Or, does it?

Listening to a TED talk last week, I realized that I needed to learn more about happiness and picked up Shawn Achor's book "The Happiness Advantage."

Just Putt the Ball!!

"Looking for a new putter? Before I make a suggestion, perhaps a few questions will help narrow down the putter that will be right for you. Traditional, belly, forearm, chest, or shoulder? Sideways or face-on? Mallet, blade, or really weird? Face, toe, or heel weighting? Straight steel or plastic insert? Heel, center, or off-set? Steel or graphite shafts? Straight, "C", or no-grooves?
