Apparently he's been doing it for a while but I'd never seen it. He basically balances on the left foot and uses his right toe to balance himself from what I can see. Another example of using something that works for the individual. I don't know if there has been a stranger putting stance.
Below is his reply when interviewed about it.
Q. Your putting stance, can you describe what it is and how you developed that?
BRINY BAIRD: I've used it for probably four years now. Mike Adams is my golf instructor down in Palm Beach, and I was hitting putts one day in front of him wondering why I was hitting the putts so poorly. He said, "You're moving all over it," meaning I was actually moving backwards away from the ball. I was like, "really?" I didn't know. He said, "Yeah, stand on one foot and hit a putt," and if you stand on one foot and your balance isn't perfect, you're obviously going to fall over, and I darned near fell over.
He said, "Hit some putts on one foot for a while," and that drill actually became reality after a while. I did the drill a lot, and it was hard to get out of it. I fought getting out of it, and finally just said, the heck with it, let's just putt that way.
