A belly putter can be a great help for those players who struggle to properly release the putterhead (middle). Once you understand how it works, a long putter can make shorter-length putts almost automatic (right).
The belly putter came into being as many golfers experimented with the long putter and had trouble finding a consistent repeatable stroke with it.
