Not every training aid sets the same problem.
This is where most golfers get it wrong.
They know they’re not doing well, but they don’t know it why. So they buy a mirror, a gate, or a random gadget and hope it helps.
Putting is broken for specific reasons. If you can identify the problem, the right training help becomes obvious. Here are three common deployment problems you may experience and the training aids that can help fix them.
Your wrists are broken or rotated through impact
If your short shots feel sharp and some are pushed or pulled, it could be because you’re backstabbing. Under pressure, you may feel as if you are “feeling” the ball towards the hole.
When your joints add loft through impact, rotate or break through impact, the angle of the face changes. In a six-footer, even a small change means loss.
Training help to try: Orange Whip Putt Master
of Orange Whip Putt Master is designed to soothe the hands and promote a smoother, more connected movement. If your wrists try to take over, you’ll feel it right away.
It encourages:
- A more stable face through impact
- A real pendulum swing
- Better connection between arms and torso
If your bugs feel useful or inconsistent within 10 feet, this can help.
Your shots do not start on your target line
Golfers who miss the ball on the low side or feel a push from the putter’s face may think they are misreading when in reality it is a tee line problem.
Face angle controls most of the initial direction on the putt. If the face is even slightly open or closed at impact, the ball won’t start where you think it will.
Training help to try: Placement of T3 bow
of Placement of T3 bow forces the shooter to move in a steady arc relative to your body. If you manipulate the face or redirect the shot, you will know immediately.
He trains:
- Consistent path
- Steady facial delivery
- Repeatable motion through impact
This device adjusts how the putter moves through the hitting zone so that the ball starts where the face is pointed. I own this and work with it often because you can also use it indoors just to practice your stroke. If your ball routinely goes offline, this will help fix it.
Your distance control seems random
With distance control issues, some shooters may run several yards ahead. Others die halfway through. You may notice your problems on longer lag shots that lack consistency. You may be struggling with a problem with stroke length and rhythm.
Amateurs often change both the length of the backstroke and the pace without realizing it.
Training help to try: Eyeline Golf Roll The Rock 8 Footer
of Roll The Rock 8 Footer provides built-in feedback for spin and finish distance. This gives you structure when you are exercising.
It helps you:
- Calibrate the stroke length
- Develop a steady pace
- Train at a predictable pace
When you can repeatedly roll the ball a certain distance in the same motion, your three shots start to disappear. If you want to tie this in with some metronome practice, you can learn something repeatable to take with you on the course.
Final thoughts
The placement does not improve because you have purchased a training aid. It gets better when you adapt the tool to the problem.
