My club's teaching pro picked up a few of the small YES! putting mirrors in their current fire sale and passed one along to me. It looks like this:



Found a nice guide to usage here: http://www.golfinternationalmag.com/.../pageflip.html and spent about an hour with it on the practice green, learning a few interesting things. For example, I set up with open shoulders and my eyes outside the target line, when I actually need my eyes slightly inside the line in order to see a flat putt as flat. May be why I've been trying to bend everything in the right side of the cup!

Anyway, it seems like lots of folks make similar products (Eyeline, GEL, Izzo etc.) and they're generally fairly inexpensive. I think it's a worthwhile piece of kit and I'm going to keep it in my bag to check my setup every week or so.

Anyone else use one of these?

I use something similar to this. Putting is the weakest part of my game and my set up needs a lot of maintenance.

My common faults:
* Dominant eye (right) is way too far inside my target line
* My head sways during the stroke
* I look up too quickly after I stoke the ball
* Right shoulder is open too far (I'm a lefty)

I spend about 30 minutes a week using this aid in my basement and notice a significant improvement on the course in the following days.

I've been using the Dave Pelz Putting Tutor, which costs a bit more (like $60 w/ shipping/tax). I've been happy with it as far as helping me hit the ball straighter. I discovered I was opening my club face sometimes. This helped me get a rythym for keeping it aligned. I've been liking it.

In my Grom Stand bag:

Wood/Hybrid: G20 3W, Raylor 19*, 22*

    • I was once told by a CRNA to never get the shots around any joint. They are band aids as mentioned about and he stated they will actually deteriorate the joint. I am no doctor obviously, just relaying what I was told when I was having knee trouble.
    • Yes I agree with everything you've said, before the first injection I couldn't lift my arm without pain and then shortly after the injection and a couple weeks of pt the pain was gone and still is so I'm just hoping I may get lucky twice sort-of like lightning and the same spot chances but we'll see. It's just I haven't been able to swing a golf club with a backswing more than waist high and that just won't do at all I'm only 58 and have been a single digit index for well over half my life so far and having my swing speed cut below 80 or more is something I'm just not quite ready for, I don't mean to offend anyone It's just I'm not ready for that yet I know we all get older and the body loses strength and flexibility I just think I still got a good chunk left.
    • Day 14.  Trying to stop that pull hook. This may take a while and I had limited success today. With courses here opening soon I then spent some time practicing short game distances inside 100y. 
    • Thanks everyone. An ace is luck. Eagle takes more skill. Now back to your regular scheduled programming.    Wordle 1,014 4/6 ⬜🟨🟩⬜🟨 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
