It's good to ho putters IMO. You learn a lot about your stroke. FWIW there is no such thing a SBST stroke. Every stroke has at least a little arc to it. Take care to pay attention to your misses. Poor rounds of putting can tell you a lot. For instance, I have the most trouble with shorter putts. From outside 15feet I'm pretty good, as good as most "good" putters some days. That is because when I have to hit the ball that hard, I get more of an arc path. When I'm in close, I push the putt and don't release the putterhead. I've tried to "fix" this with a mallet putter but I really can use an Anser style blade, which is much, much better for distance control but I also have to work on releasing that putter. I practice with a totally 6'oclock toe hang "Cash in" putter now. Without a very good arc stroke, that putter is blocking it off.
