Because I'm lazy and don't care to bend down to pickup a dropped golf
ball I drilled a small hole into a ball and epoxied a piece of string
into the hole. Have the golfer hold the putter and adress thetring at
the bridge of the golfer's nose and allow the ball to hang down - it
should be directly asbove the ball to be putted!
I like to drop a golf ball from the golfers eye and see where it
contacts the
floor.

I use the same CD trick, I think I learned it from Arnie.

Most people I fit they are playing too long a putter and their eyes are
not over
the ball.

That's a great point.
And there are training aids for that, too.
One of the best and cheapest is a plain old CD. (I don't remember
where I first saw this. Might have been one of your posts, TFlan.)
Take a CD that you don't ever want to play again. (Like rap, or yet
another AOL subscription.) Put it on a flat, level piece of ground,
reflective side up. (Level is important.) Place a golf ball in the
center hole of the CD. Now address the golf ball with your putter.
You will be able to see the reflection of your face in the CD. Your
eye line should be through the ball. It is easy to see if your eyes
are inside or outside the ball.
Cheers!
