GOLF GADGET REVIEW! – “THE PUTTIST” TRAINING AID

WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT IN PUTTING?

(Written By: GolfSpy Matt) What’s more important in putting: direction or speed?  In an informal survey, 8 of 8 PGA Professionals told me that speed is king.  Personal experience echoes what the pros say: I can’t remember a lot of 3 putts that were caused by a bad line, but I can (sadly) remember more than a few caused by leaving a long putt 10 feet short or blowing it 6 feet past.

With this in mind, I have to wonder why are all the putting trainers out there obsessed with direction?  If we’re truly going to bring down our putts per round and eliminate the dreaded 3-jack, we need a training aid that will help us with distance control.  Enter Puttist, a putting trainer that bills itself as “The 3 Putt Killer.” Does it live up to its name?  Read on, spies…

“The problem with your putting is not the fact that you can’t make 6 to 8 footers. The problem is that you are leaving yourself 6 to 8 footers.” – GolfSpy Tim
