Since starting to use the PERFECTSTROKE™ trainer my putting has become much more consistent. I don’t use it on the practice putting green just at home where I run the shaft either side of the rail a few minutes a day and my shoulders feel like they get into a certain groove. I had 23 putts the other day and mostly I think that was due to confidence from the perfect practice I have done. It has shortened my stroke and makes me accelerate the putter more.

The PERFECTSTROKE™ is not only the best putting aid that I have used to teach with, but also the best training aid for golfers regardless of their level of play . The PERFECTSTROKE™ encourages all of the correct fundamentals that are required in the putting stroke.
It has certainly made my life as a Teaching Professional easier as the PERFECTSTROKE™ has made explaining my philosophies far easier to high and low handicap golfers.
Forget about buying a new driver - buy the PERFECTSTROKE™ and watch the handicap drop.

I am using this aid for my own development as well as to help my students that want to improve their putting using sound fundamentals. I find that I am using this device in nearly all of my putting lessons with excellent results.

The Perfectstroke Golf Putting Aid is one of the few putting aids that will help develop a putting stroke that has a slight arc rather than straight back and through. This happens because the shaft of the putter rests on a straight suspended rail. When you make the stroke both back and through the shaft remains lightly touching the rail which means that the shaft stays on plane but the putterhead will move slightly inside / inside. The putterface stays square to the path which allows the face to open and close slightly relative to the target line. This helps to give the ball the best posssible roll. Practice strokes and putts are hit with the shaft resting on either side of the rail to help to develop feel and muscle memory then the suspended rail is removed. There are two different alignment guides which are positioned usually directly over the ball and putterhead which help to ensure that the putterface is aimed directly on the target line.
One of these alignment guides is made from clear acrylic which ensures that alignment can be made precisely without obscuring the ball or the putterhead. The other alignment guide is made from an acrylic mirror which allows the player to check positioning of the eyes. It also features a small slot directly over the putterhead which enables the player to even more accurately align the face square. The base of the Perfectstroke Putting Aid has a reflective tint which helps the golfer to check alignment of the shoulders at address and monitor the shoulder plane during practice strokes.
The benefits of using the Perfectstroke Putting Aid are very easily demonstrated when a player has their putting stroke tested using the SAM Putt Lab. This system uses ultrasound technology to help analyse 28 different components of the putting stroke and dramatic improvements can be shown and made in short periods of time. Using the Perfectstroke Putting Aid a player can consistently align the putterface within 0.2 degrees of square at address from 3 metres, have a stroke path within 0.2 degrees of perfect, and have the face within 0.2 degrees of square to the path. This means extremely consistent results and excellent retention of feels and alignment skills when not using the aid. The Perfectstroke Putting Aid has proven to be the best golf putting aid available when tests are conducted using the SAM Putt Lab. Check out some results in the SAM PuttLab section on the Perfectstroke site.
Path, face angle and centredness of hit are the three factors which affect the direction of any golf shot and these can be practiced and executed perfectly when using this device.This practice can be done very effectively indoors at home or place of work or at the practice putting green. Developing a feel for speed is the final component crucial for consistent putting. This can be improved by matching the backswing and through swing lengths which can easily be practiced both using the Perfectstroke Putting Aid training aid at home or hitting putts on the practice green. The shorter the putt the less backswing,- longer putts more back and throughswing. This means you can take the hit out of the putting stroke. The matching of backswing to throughswing and height the putter head lifts on back and through is often referred to as a pendulum stroke. This is the type of stroke demonstrated by world class professionals in the past, now and experts agree in the future. If you want to improve your putting or maintain an already high standard you need to most importantly practice your path, putterface control and alignment. You also need to ensure that you are making centred hits which affect both direction and distance and you need to practice speed control. All these components to good putting can be practiced and developed perfectly using the Perfectstroke Putting Aid trainer.
What benefits does the PERFECTSTROKE™ Putting Aid provide?
"If I keep my left arm fairly close to my left side on the forward stroke the putterhead will tend to rotate to the left after impact, the toe of the club passing the heel. I don’t fight that natural tendency, the important thing is for the putterface to be square to the target line at impact and that will happen as long as my release is smooth and unhurried. Some players are so desperate to avoid pulls and pushes that they shove the putterhead down the target line, keeping the clubface square from start to finish. It is a very unnatural action, it doesn’t do much to provide a square contact and it’s almost impossible to impart the right speed consistency."

The Perfectstroke Putting Aid is one of the few putting aids that will help develop a putting stroke that has a slight arc rather than straight back and through. The fact is this aid helps the shaft go straight back and through but the putterhead will arc slightly inside/inside with the face remaining square to the path. This a great golf training system that is used by many tour players and teaching professionals that will improve your putting stroke and lower your scores.
