Hang the putter from your left eye to set ball position

The coach calls this one of the easiest setup checkpoints: hang the putter straight down from your left eye. Because your left eye sits about an inch left of your body's center, when the putter hangs over the ball it confirms two things at once - your eyes are over the ball (so you see the true sight line) and the ball is set about an inch ahead of center.
