A belly putter is designed to be anchored into your belly button and then you can use any variation of a putting grip you want. The idea is that the putter pivots about your belly button, and you swing it without as much use as the arms as you would find with a normal putter.
When a player is on the green, they will putt the ball towards or into the hole. A putter is used.
I wont stop you.
You hit the ball with a putter, normally on the green, and try to roll it into the hole.
The only thing you are not allowed to do is touch the line of your putt. So if there are loose impediments on your line you can pick them off with your fingers, but not with your putter.
When taking a drop you can use any club in your bag, a belly putter is perfectly legal.
Good mental state when striking the putt. Not having fear of missing the putt, because you know you will make the next one. You need to believe you are a good putter who does not face a putt he doesn't like.
A Belly Putter can be purchased at various online stores. These include but are not limited to Amazon, eBay, BellyPutt, GolfHouse, Callaway Shop and NordicGolf.

No, it is a putt. However, if you are off the green, it does not count as a putt in your putts per round stats.
Just whatever you feel comfortable with, the majority of putters on the market today are 33, 34 and 35 inch ones, the 35 would probably suit you best. But if you feel uncomfortable with that you may have to try find a longer one, or even a belly putter.
No, only when the putter is used on the putting surface is it counted in putts per round.
A belly putter is designed to be anchored into your belly. You place the grip end agsinst your belly button and then simply grip the club however you want, keeping the putter pivoting around your belly button. one grip is the split grip, this is where (for a right hander) you have your left hand at the top, and right hand below it. Then there is left hand low, which is obviously left hand below your right. There is also the interlocking grip which is basically how you hold your irons. (well how the majority do)
