Lefty pulling putts to the right.

[Jaytee]

I am left handed and I noticed sometimes I pull my putts to the right to the point where I now aim an half inch to inch to the left of my intented target.

To me I am doing the exact same thing as when my puts go dead straight. Any ideas what should I be looking out for that Im doing wrong?

Thanks!

could your putter be too long? or just need a proper fitting?

is your putter face balanced?

is your putting stroke straight back and through?
or does it have an arc? inside to inside or outside to outside

Without seeing you putt, it's hard to say anything. It could be as simple as a setup or ball position issue.

could be one hand is slightly stronger...May I assume you are putting mostly with your left hand/arm ?

It could also be something as simple as head movement at the moment of impact. How soon after impact do you actually see the ball rolling? If you can see the ball before it gets 2-3 feet from where it started, you may be looking too soon and your head/shoulders are actually turning with the putt. But, as someone already said, without seeing your putting stroke, it's very difficult to diagnose what the problem may be.

I am left handed...

There's your problem, you're on the wrong side of the ball...:p

make sure your shoulders and feet are aligned.

Thanks for everyone's advice. I believe my problem is I am arcing my swing path where as I normally try to follow through and keep the face square and through. Its one of those things I have to keep conscious of or I dont even realize Im doing it.

Hi Jaytee.

I am a lefty myself...........there are quite a few of us on here i believe :)

As you have seen from the responses it really could be any of a number of reasons and without seeing you putt its quite impossible to tell for sure.

Quite a number of us go see our local coach/club pro for driving lessons but not many go see them for putting lessons.....thats the course i would recommend for you as they would be able to see what the problem is immediately.

If you want me to hazzard a guess i would go for your set up being incorrect AND you are looking up as you strike the ball to watch it.
As they say........keep your eyes on the back of the ball, your head still and listen to it drop :)

I would recommend the lesson much more than my advice though :D
