Stewart Cink, who uses a belly putter, became first player to top TOUR's putting stats with a non-standard-length putter in 2004. Tom Lehman posted four top-10 finishes in five events to finish 2004 season after placing a long putter in his bag. 

Where did this trend begin? In 2000, Paul Azinger won Sony Open with a homemade belly putter. Paul was in Putter Studio with Titleist's chief putter designer Scotty Cameron a few months before Sony. They analysed where butt of putter aims at address, during backstroke, at impact, and during forward stroke. It was found that best putters keep butt of shaft aimed within a two-inch circle in belly area during stroke. Paul, thinking about two-inch circle, made a putter by shoving a shaft down shaft of his putter, and worked on anchoring butt of extended shaft into his belly. He made sure putter was legal and rest is history. 

"According to Cameron, belly putter puts player in a repeatable position where mental memory can create muscle memory. Anchoring putter helps eliminate unnecessary moving parts, like wandering butt and flipping head through impact, and it allows a controllable and repeatable stroke that creates a consistent arc."

Wheelies are not a trick limited to vehicles with more than one tire. The definition of a wheelie has now extended to include things such as snowboards. While a snowboard does not have any wheels on it, principal of how a wheelie works is exact same.

When it comes to snowboarding, a wheelie is a simple matter of balance. Your goal is to learn how to balance your weight on nothing but tail of your snowboard while going down a slope. As with most skills, this ability also increases your skills required for other tricks.

The exact technique required for you to wheelie will very depending upon your riding style. Of course first step is to be riding down a gentle slope that you are very comfortable with. The first wheelie to practice is tail wheelie where you will be raising nose of your snowboard off ground and riding on just tail.
