I'm genuinely surprised this hasn't been done before now.

The granny free throw and the belly putter are both better tools, but they are uncool. We can add the torpedo bat to that list.

Belly putting is anchoring to belly? That’s not legal.

TIL. The new version of this is the "armlock putter" where you anchor to your arm instead of to your belly.
