What piece of training equipment has helped you the most?

Place a CD or DVD on the floor, shinny side up. Place the ball in the center and take your putting stance. You should be able to see into the cd where your eyes are. Align your eyes over the ball, this will give you the distance of how close you need to be for the ball to be over your eyes and center of your stance. I personally align the ball over my left eye so when I turn my head I see the putter line better. Place the putter level behind the ball and take note of how close and the position of the handle related to you stance. Take your putting grip and take note of your wrists. My left wrist is cupped and my right is straight , so when I take my putt my left wrist feels like it's pointing at my line during the whole stroke, and my wrists don't break so I know I'm using my shoulders correctly.

Brilliant! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, and thanks for explaining it so well.

I voted "chipping net," but my net is actually a empty 5-gallon paint bucket. When I've scratched a ball on the course it ends-up in my bucket, and I use that to practice. I'll dump the whole thing (it's getting heavier every season) and then move the bucket ~20 yards away and chip and chip and chip... No wonder my short game has been bankable the past few years!

Best thing for me is alignment aid. One iron at my feet, pointed straight at the target.
