Your Putting Stroke And Putting Training Aids

I have been reading up on the putting stroke. I would like to buy a putting training aid to help me improve my putting stroke. However, I am confused as there is so much info out there and they all claim to help you improve your putting. How do I know if the putting training aid will really help me or if I am just wasting my money?

Great question and wish I had more information about your putting stroke! With that being said we will cover all of the basics of the two main putting theories that are being used today on the PGA tours.

1. Straight back and straight through stroke – One of the two popular putting theories was developed by Dave Pelz. The straight back and straight through theory also known as the Pelz theory is moving the putter head in a straight back and straight through motion. There are many manufacturers that offer putting aids to give you the sensation of the proper movement. The more bent over that you are when you address the putt, the more likely you are to use the straight back and straight through putting method. The Eyeline putting square system is a very effective putting training aid to use with this theory.

2. Putting arc stroke – The other popular putting theory was developed by Stan Utley. With his theory, the putter travels in an arc around your spine. Again, many manufacturers offer different putting aids to allow you feel the correct sensation. Many times, the decision of which putting theory that you use is determined by how you set up to the golf ball when you putt. The more upright when you address the putt, the more likely you are to use the arc putting method. The putting training aid that we use for this motion is the putting arc deluxe.
