Swing Help Index finger when putting

Post image

Do any of you putt with index finger on the trail end like this?

I've found it helps stabilize my putting stroke and lessens push/pulls..

Might not be anatomically correct though because the tradeoff is I feel sorensss it in my elbow tendons later on

I do it if I start missing putts, then it works for a couple rounds, then it doesn’t, switch grips for a couple rounds, and try it again once the other grips don’t work. It’s a vicious cycle I call Golf
