Take the hands out of the stroke
Webb Simpson, the breakout star -- along with Keegan Bradley -- of 2011, has been using a belly putter since his freshman year at Wake Forest.

Here's how: Set up with the grip end of your putter pointing just left of your belly button and keep it pointing at that spot as you swing the putter back and through. That's the same action you get from a belly, without the long shaft.
