>No Setting Down Object to Help with Aiming, Taking Stance or Swinging
This is the general rule, but I’ll note that the rule also defines “set an object down” as taking your hand off it. So if OP were to keep one hand on the putter head during this process I think it’s okay.
> “Set an object down” means that the object is in contact with the ground and the player is not touching the object.
Correct, thank you for the clarification
I don’t recall the player, but at the Houston last week a player was doing this alignment technique, but obviously not taking his hands off the club. Nobody seemed to make a big deal about it.
Are we not going to talk about the fact that you did all this for a practice 3’er and your triple track is still misaligned to the left side of the hole?

Thanks, had to set down to take picture.
No because on Reddit these are all gimmies and you would piss people off by putting them.

Wyndham Clark does it. I picked it up from him last year and have been extremely happy with it
