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.

      7 Wood

      I tried hybrids way back when Titleist introduced the orange copper Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
