After hitting some putts with the right hand only (for right-handed golfers), go back to putting with both hands on the handle but make strokes with a hand pressure of 80-percent in the right hand and 20-percent in the left hand. In other words, putt predominantly with your right hand.

As noted at the beginning, putting is a very personal part of the game, and different teachers teach it in different ways. But this is the putting approach that has worked for me and my students.
