"2015 Training Aid of the Year"

The original putting stick featured a rectangular mirror mounted to a base that attached to the end of the Putting Stick. The new Pro model has the eye alignment mirror embedded directly into the surface of the Putting Stick. The end of the stick has also been tapered to allow the ball to roll more gently off the end of the stick. Both units feature the cast acrylic material that won't torque and both models are very effective at training golfers to get the ball rolling straight and true.
Does the Putting Stick Work?

The key to the Putting Stick System is the precise visual feedback it provides. Lack of feedback is why many golfers never improve in spite of practice. To improve, you need to know what is going on with your stroke. Using the Putting Stick allows you to continuously monitor your eye alignment, back-swing length, and stroke accuracy in a simple, efficient manner.

Features
Made from the finest quality materials to exacting standards, this ingenious tool will transform both your game and attitude, forever. Included with the Putting Stick® Pro is an instructional USB thumbdrive containing detailed information on assembly, use, fault correction, as well as introductions to basic putting techniques and strategies.

Reviewer: Bob B. from Green Valley, AZ

At first try, putts had to be hit much too firm to keep them on line.

Little by little I could strike them less firm, and keep a small percentage of them on a straight path.

After a lot of trial & error, I made some modifications to my stroke, and my putting started to improve.

As opposed to most training aids that guide your stroke on a fixed path, therefore relying solely on memory to repeat it on the golf course.

The Putting Stick does not!

This review was written by Bob Barrette, Lead Test Administrator, GolfTest USA

It immediately exposes imperfections in your stroke, and forces you to try different techniques, in order to keep the ball on a straight line, all the way to the end of the stick.

It is multi-dimensional, not only does it teach you to putt precisely, it confirms correct posture and alignment, utilizing a mirror to reveal whether your eyes are directly over the ball. Which is imperative to putting accuracy.

A list of do's & don'ts, included with this product would be of great benefit, to anyone having difficulty keeping putts on the stick.

Met you at the PGA Show - I am a clinical and sports psychologist that works with PGA and LPGA golfers, as well as numerous collegiate and juniors across the country. I bought a putting stick to try it out and the results have been tremendous. I want to speak with you about setting up a program for my players to purchase them as I will make sure that all players have one!

Reviewer: Michael Moynihan from US Golf School at the International Golf Club

I have found that students really love the training aid used in the short game sessions of the three-day and five-day schools. Most of them tend to take too long backswings, which can create path problems and cause them to not accelerate the putter. The backstop on the back of the Putting Stick serves as a reminder to shorten the backswing. I then urge them to make a longer follow through. Using the Putting Stick with this type of stroke also helps them keep their putter blades squarer at impact. Otherwise, the ball will roll off, going to the right if the face is open or to the left if closed. Its important for students to have their eyes directly over the target line. This helps them to aim correctly. I prefer the original model, with the mirror attached, while others like the pro model with the mirror embedded into the other end where there is an indention to place the ball. I use it myself. You can't find a better putting aid.

Reviewer: Joey Wuertenberger from Jim McLean Golf Center in Fort Worth, TX

The Putting Stick is a valuable training aid to not only my teaching but to all of my students.The Putting Stick provides excellent feedback to my students in many different important areas, but most important it provides instant feedback on how the putter face is aligned relative to the putter path around impact. For a natural stroke, the path can be more or less arched, but returning the putter face back to square at impact provides instant feedback to my players.
