table-top putting

A golf putting technique invented and popularized by LPGA star Michelle Wie. It's called the table-top style because the player's back is parallel to the ground, much like the hanging top of breakfast table. Wie invented the table-top approach because her putting average dropped to 119th on the LPGA Tour in 2012, taking over 31 putts per round. Realizing that was far too high and out of other more conventional answers after trying the belly putter and claw grip, Wie took desperate measures in the final round of the 2012 Dubai Ladies Masters.

Wie took a lot of ribbing for her unique stance, and even made fun of it herself on different occasions. The table-top putting style helped Wie win the 2014 U.S. Women's Open in June 2014.
