In a series of 8 or so short articles in his Burnt Edges Substack, Bruce Rearick has made similar observations about what torque is and what causes it in putting and why it is neither good nor bad. Eliminating it may not be a good idea for everyone and is highly dependent on a number of factors including setup, swing path, etc.

Welcome back!!! Glad to hear your doing well with S4I. I've been using S4I since early 2024, which I learned by joining Kirk's site for about 6-months and working the drills with his feedback. My original reasons for making the switch to a "single plane swing" were because my research suggested that it would be easier on my back and I'd likely be more accurate. Both have proven to be true and I've picked up a bit of distance to boot. I also like that Kirk is open to customizations to fit the individual golfer and I use what I call the "Rocco Mediate customization" meaning that I pull my right foot back on pretty much all full shots which helps me make a fuller back swing and hit a draw.
