Putting mirrors?

hi guys, Im new to the golf game and often 3 putt and its costing me!!! I am considering buying putting alignment mirror but Im not sure if it will actually help me? was hoping some of you experienced guys could give some advice? its only £18.59 so it wont break the bank but i'd rather not spend it if it wont help my game..

do you guys ever use one to practice your stroke?

this is one im looking at from onlinegolf http://www.onlinegolf.co.uk/product/Masters-Golf-Putting-Alignment-Mirror/p94226.aspx

Thanks everyone

Do it. They are absolutely one of the most helpful training aids out there and, as you point out, have the advantage of being cheap.

Paul Hurrion has some good drills you can use on YouTube. The first one is below and you'll see the rest in the sidebar.

thanks for the reply stretch i will take your advice and get one =)

Well ... the mirror is a nice tool, but research has brought some insights not to putt with your eyes directly above the ball, but at the back and about 1 inch inside the ball (Utley), but of course there will be many styles.

regardless, a putting mirror can help you achieve that and repeat that same eye position, whether you like your eyes on top of the ball, or behind and to the inside.

Yep !!!
