Henni Zuel demonstrates the changes Michelle Wie has made to her putting style

Michelle Wie has made a return to form at this week’s HSBC Women’s Champions, having made significant changes to her putting technique.

The 27-year-old has struggled over the past couple of years to replicate the performances which saw her claim four LPGA Tour victories, including a maiden major success at the 2014 US Women's Open.

Wie used the table-top putting style for her victory at Pinehurst, but has since experimented with different grips and stances in recent seasons.

The American has now returned to a more traditional claw grip, with her coach David Leadbetter expecting to notice an improvement in her putting stats.

During Sky Sports' coverage of the event, former Ladies European Tour player Henni Zuel was on hand to demonstrate how Wie's various putting styles have differed over time.
