Putting largely still is a very individual area of the game. However, there's some common characteristics that all good putters seem to adhere to.
1. The length of their stroke tends to be about the same on each side of the ball.
2. The pace of their stroke, to their feel, remains relatively the same. In reality the paces quickens slightly at the start of the forward motion then remains constant.
3. Their eyes are positioned over the ball or slightly inside of the ball at address.
4. The stroke on putts inside 5 feet is mostly straight back and through. As the stroke lengthens more arc is apparent.
5. Ideally, the more body parts aligned in the same direction the better at address, but the most important is the eyes. Make sure they're level with the target line.
6. The arm and hand closest to the target leads the stroke. For a right handed golfer that's the left side. You'd rather have a pulling motion then a pushing motion.
Final thought...If you don't make the putt leave it on the high side with a tap in.
