I like the analogy that putting is personal. However; there is a difference for most on the long putts that qualify as a lag putt. The distance is the difference. I am not a accurate approach shot golfer so my putt is generally longer than most. Because I have a tendency to hit more lag putts my accuracy is better than when I hit a four footer. However when I hit it or chip it close my stance is more refined and my stroke is fluid and deliberate. So yes, its different, for me.
