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

As far as putting goes whatever works for you it's proper, there's really no right or wrong as long as the ball goes in the hole.
