I just found a cool new app (only for iphones sorry android!) that you use for measuring your putting. It clips onto the shaft of your putter and it measures the tempo, face angle and arc angle of your putting stroke. You can do a test and it even gives you a putting handicap showing how consistent you are. The app is free but you have to pay $30 to get the cradle that attaches to your putter shaft. Pretty cool I reckon.

The app was released in the last day or 2 and I downloaded it before to try. I just taped my phone to putter and it was a bit loose so I am not sure on the accuracy of the measurements but I had a few tries and it seems to work fine. Here is a photo of some of the info you can get off it.

Interesting. Seems pretty cool. My only concern would be that my iPhone would add a bunch of extra weight to my putter's shaft and thus negatively affect my stroke, so I'm leery of using it. Did you find that was the case?

Yeah the weight is definately noticeable but I am not sure how it effects the stroke. If you have a smooth putting stroke it shouldn't really change much, although I guess there is no way to tell for sure! Either way its free and should be of help if you want to improve your putting or just see who can get the best score out of your mates!

Yes this is my worry as well. And I hate apple as well so no chance of me getting this until they make an android version.

What happens when you put it on your wedge and do a full swing?

I ordered the cradle at the Golfsmith store in Frisco on Preston Road by Stonebriar Mall.  You can also order it on the Golfsmith site now and have it delivered to the store to save shipping cost.

Downside is the expected shipping date is not until 7/4.

Thanks BigTex!  That store is close to the casa!  I went into PGA SS and they looked at me like I had two heads when I inquired about it!  I would like it quicker than July 4th however...

Went in there and got the same response.  Hoped to get it quicker myself, but it is what it is.  You must not live to far from me, I am in East Frisco right at the border of McKinney, Allen, and Plano.

You'll be waiting a while cause from what I read the iphone 4 is the only phone that has a gyro and accelerometer that is capable of doing the measurements the iping app does. Apparently no android phones have this yet, I am sure there will be some eventually but till then it will only be on iphone and ipod touch.

Looks cool. I've downloaded it and will probably just jury-rig a mount from an old iphone case.

And I guess now we know what Ping got from Apple in return for the right to use "Ping" as the name for their new wannabe social network in iTunes. Anybody else trying to name a product "iAnything" gets their butt sued off.

Well I went out and tested it for about 30 mins on the practice green at my course yesterday, got really erratic scores doing the 5 putt test, anywhere from 7 up to 26. Today I played and had my worst putting round in over 6 months lol. That enough of an opinion for you?

I bought this case off ebay for a few bucks and cable tied it to my putter. Seemed to work ok and was very stable. I think maybe I should just leave it alone now, I usually average 31-32 putts a round, had 36 today with a chip in. Only a single 1 putt and three 3 putts. I tried to make my stroke slightly different to make the numbers better but I think that is probably the wrong way to go about things.

I think the problem is that you've drawn a direct correlation between using this app and our next round of golf. It may have been a "bad round" irrespective of using the app.

The putting stroke is primarily a 'feel' stroke rather than technique so as long as your pace and direction are the same as you tried to play does it matter if it's a straight back and through, arc or loop the loop?

The thing I find irritating about the app is that the cradle is not available AT ALL here in the UK, yet they still added the app to the app store over here.

    • Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.  
    • Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day. 
    • Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine. 
    • Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣
    • Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
