Golf Digest has done its own guide to anchored VS unanchored putting strokes, with diagrams and explanations. It's not very long but the explanations seem very clear.
For instance, this diagram comparing a legal quick putter stroke with both elbows tight in opposition to the perimeters to an illegal anchored stroke with a broomstick putter consists of this as a part of the rationale:
"If the forearms are resting against the body, this method is acceptable only if the hands are not separated. They can still work independently when making a stroke this way."That phrase I highlighted, "...only if the hands are not separated," is a great reminder of the diagram and provides an easy-to-understand reason for why one method is legal while the other isn't.
Between this guide and yesterday's video from Golf Central , you should get a pretty clear picture of which putting strokes will be legal and which won't be when 2016 officially arrives.
