This is a review of all the “best putting / golf training aids” and items we have written articles for or reviewed to date. The intention is not to re-review items, but to rank them by category.
My intention is to give an honest review of and list “my personal” thoughts of the golf and putting related items I have.
It’s going to be a list and not a total review of each item. It’s not really a “do buy” or “don’t buy” list, but an observation based on my personal use.
I will make recommendations on the usage of the items as I see it.
This will be a new page as well. This article and that “All Reviews” page will be updated over time.
Just a Note:
This may be a separate article, but keep in mind that your brain works best when you clear it prior to putting.
All this stuff focuses on mechanics. That’s the last thing you need to be thinking about when you are over the ball.
I do have a pre-shot routine for choosing the line. Off to the side facing the hole, I take a couple practice strokes.
Commit to your line. Focus on squaring up the putter face, your feet, and your shoulders.
Let you thoughts clear. You have committed to the line and are lined up.
All you need to think about is “making the putt” and internally counting out your rhythm.
For me it’s “1 thousand one.”
I do physically practice my backstroke length prior to putting and look directly at the back of the ball. I briefly think to myself “now count out your rhythm and make a smooth stroke.”
Putt focusing on the back of the ball.
If you are thinking about your grip, stance, line, etc. while you are over the ball. Good luck.
Too many thoughts about mechanics are a real problem. Leave that for your pre-shot routine or practice.
