Utilizing an Inertial Navigation System (INS), the DiXX BLU can identify the putter's face position in relation to the ball at impact and immediately displays the information on the vibrant color LCD. Additionally, a Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) monitors several key factors of the swing motion including path and hand vibration levels.
All of the information can be collected into usable data (personal statistics) that can be analyzed to correct bad putting habits.

* Analyzes and tracks the three key elements of a successful putter swing: Path, Impact Position and Face Angle
* Includes Computer Module and USGA-approved Playing Module
* The DiXX BLU collects data and stores the statistics so the user can review putting habits and trends
* User can choose either straight-back-straight-through putting path or arc path
* User can select Pro Mode or Standard Mode depending on his/her skill level

I am really curious if this is worth the $75. Anyone have REAL experience with this device? On paper it looks like a great buy but if the display/device is gimmicky then it isn't.

This "training aid" would be ineffective for most people. It shows you data on how you would perform with that putter and not your gamer. Their are too many variables involved for this gadget to be effective. It was a good attempt by Adams but a big failure. The original cost was probably for the R&D; portion.

First I have no experience with this device, so I trust you and your opinion more so than my perceptions.

With that said though, how can path, impact position and tempo only pertain to one putter and not the other? I mean, my path/tempo/impact position are not specific to only one putter but almost certainly are swing characteristics that would apply to all putters (allowing for small exceptions to the rule). So I guess my question is what other variables are there that make this putter ineffective as a training aid? Is it just junk or what?

Its not total junk but just doesn't mimic your own putter and that alone makes it a huge variable. Weight and putter style are a couple of examples what may factor in as variables.

After my post I realized that it woud be an issue if the putter head was different (i.e. training device is a mallet, gamer is a blade) etc. I can see that being a issue.

I want to buy this but then I don't. I like the idea mostly....

If you have the spare cash, go for it. Who knows it may improve your putting. If it doesn't work out I'm sure you can flip it to someone else who is curious.

It's not as bad as you make it out to be (your stroke tends to be awfully similar regardless of your putter, especially when you just practice it occasionally), and b) you can use the putter as a putter.

But your stroke might be a little different. Not a lot, but a little.
