My New Homemade Training Aid

[SavvySwede]

Just put together my own little low budget training aid. It's a relatively inexpensive ($12-15$) laser line diode that I mounted to my putter. It not entirely complete yet as I still need to rig up a more permanent mounting system (It is currently held on with rubber shaft clamp) but I couldn't wait to share. Updates coming soon.

Great idea! How does the device  affect the feel and swing of your putter? Did you discover anything about your putting stroke I with the device?

That looks good. I won one of those Dead Aim putters with the laser that goes on top of it for training a couple of years ago. The laser is a great tool for training your aim. Mine is only a pointer, though. Yours looks like it can do more with the stroke, too.

What's funny is I didn't bother using the laser for like a year from when I received it, then I did a SAM PuttLab session with @pcombs21 and he told me I needed to. I was consistently aiming everything right (like 4" from 10' or something ridiculous like that) and it caused me to make compensations in my stroke. Started using the laser and was able to make a setup adjustment that allowed me to aim the putter properly very quickly.

Looking forward to hearing the results from this.

It definitely had the interest of your kitty..... Cat's love laser lights, mine would chase the beam endlessly.

Huh, I never noticed the cat first time watching the video. Cats love the red dot.
