He does NOT anchor. He has been checked out by the USGA and by referees on the Champions Tour. While the upper hand may touch his shirt it does not touch his chest and that is easily seen if you just watch the video or his stroke in person.
Banning anchoring was ludicrous. It was made by people who do not know how to putt. Anchoring does nothing. What may be unfair however is left arm position. It is in a position to STOP blade twisting. Top college coaches who do know how to putt advise using the long putter to practice only. That left arm lock out teaches you to go UNDER and not around through impact. Keeps blade twist out. I know an active touring pro who practices one hour a day with the long putter. In 100 6 foot putts I see no difference in make rates between anchoring and not anchoring. In both cases it's 100 out of 100. Arnie was a senile old man when that went down. This is also why almost all long putter users went back. The anchor rule should be taken back out simply because it has no impact on anything. Scott even recommends not anchoring. I see no difference what-so-ever. But left arm position does stop twist and that in itself could be unfair. Get a long putter and you will discover this instantly if you think about it and try it. Langer didn't listen to anyone else and is the all time Senior winner. He knew what I am saying.
I use a 48" long putter and I love it for short and midrange putts.....long putts however are difficult. My ball tends to take a big hop and I only end up getting 60 to 70 percent of the way there.
Scott mr. anchor man

Try moving the ball back or forward in your stance...just a little...maybe an inch, and see if that stops the ball from hoping.
