This is a review of my golf bag and a collection of golf accessories that I use regularly. Some things I’ve always had on or in my golf bag and others are fairly new.
The Perfect Putter Tour
The Perfect Putter Tour edition is a green reading aid, practice aid and stimp meter all built into one device. Together with their laser attachment, rail extension, H alignment aid and putting gates it’s the total package for putting practice.
2023 Rules of Golf Update
The USGA and the R&A have published the 2023 Rules of Golf Update. They go into effect on January 1, 2023.
Putting Metronome Training
Now that it’s the off season, I’ve begun putting metronome training. I have improved my putting over time by being more consistent with my Tempo and Rhythm. Hitting thousands of putts over several off seasons has helped.
Putting Stats with Shot Scope
Using a Shot Scope V3 is a great way to track your putting stats. It’s a GPS Watch with Automatic Performance Tracking. View you shots, score, stats and strokes gained on your phone, tablet or computer.
Putting: Speed, Aim and Line
Speed, Aim and Line are the 3 putting metrics that have to be in sync. If you want to make more putts, repetition and practice are the key.
Strackaline Green & Yardage Book
Are you looking for the best Green &Yardage book at the best price? Strackaline products are for you. I recently purchased a combo green & yardage book for my course and they are first rate.
Putter Head Weight
For years changing putter head weight meant changing putters, adding internal weights or adding lead tape. That all has changed. Lets look at the advantages or disadvantages of different head weights.
Open Stance Putting
I never considered the benefits of open stance putting until now. My backstroke stats were not as consistent as I’d like. I thought I’d try a setup that some great putters used. The results have been eye opening.
Indoor Putting Routine
Now that that the season is changing and colder weather is on the way, I’ve switched to my indoor putting routine. It’s time to take a look at warm weather stats and try improve on them over the winter.
The Wellstroke Review
The Wellstroke is a putting arc mat sold by Wellputt. It is a putting aid that is made to help your perfect your putting stroke and path.
Putting: Posture & Eyeline
Posture and Eyeline are significant factors in making more putts. While not everyone is the same, it’s important to take an athletic stance and have our eyes in the proper position.
Putting: Linear vs Non-Linear
Linear vs Non-Linear putting involves two very different types of green reading techniques. There is no right way or wrong way. Top professionals use both methods.
Putting Basics
Putting basics include the grip, the correct putting setup and consistent putting motion. They are essential techniques for someone who is struggling or just starting out. Practicing the basics never hurts regardless of skill level.
Putting: Distance Control
Consistent distance control in putting is a key to lower scores. Great tempo and rhythm give you a repeatable stroke. Gauging your backstroke length gives you a benchmark for putts of a given distance.
