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.

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.

      Day 39: did top golf for an hour with the family. It was fun but also not really like real golf at all. Also did some mirror work - working on the backswing stuff mostly.

      Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.

      Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball.

      Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).
