Your putter path therefore plays a small, yet significant, part in the accuracy of your putts as any error in path is transmitted to the roll of your ball. David Leadbetter estimates that three out of four recreational golfers slice not only their full-swing shots, they slice their putts as well. Rik DeGunther in his book The Art and Science of Putting calculates that the ratio of influence is around 15% putter path and 85% angle of impact. The first is your putterface angle and the second is your putter path. Research and Testing has shown that there are two fundamental alignments that influence the direction your ball travels after you make contact with it. WHY does this matter as long as your putterface is perpendicular to your aimline when your putter meets the ball? Direction of Ball A Cut Stroke is where your putter path travels from outside your aimline (target line) to inside your aimline. In other words your putter swings off plane and cuts across your aimline.
