 Golf Putting Training Aids To Better Putting

How important is putting in the game of golf? Consider that setting the par score on any hole is based on the distance of the hole plus two putts. A par four hole is therefore shorter than a par five. It is felt you will get to the putting green on a par four in two strokes and then have two putts. A par five gives you three shots to the green and then two putts again.

Now imagine that you could trim just one putt every second hole on a round of eighteen. That would mean nine strokes less. Would you like to trim nine strokes off your score? We all would. That emphasizes the importance of improving your putting stroke.

Putting generally involves certain fundamentals:

	you need to putt from a solid base - this means a solid stance
	putt with minimal amount of knee movement - again being solid is important
	the putter head must be square at impact - this means proper alignment
	your eye position should be directly over top of the ball - this enhances proper alignment
	Your arms and shoulders should form a triangle - putting is a pendulum motion where only the arms and shoulders move
	the better players usually have the ball positioned towards the instep of the left foot

So with these basic points in mind you need to look for a golf putting aid that works to enhance these principles in your own putting stroke.  Look for putting aids that generally revolve around improving your alignment to get a straight putt, tweaking your set up or maintaining the "triangle" during your putting stroke.

There have been a number of different putting aids on the market. One of the more unique ones is called the putting arc that actually teaches that the putting stroke is an arc and not a straight line.

The Refiner company uses the hinged club approach to aid in putting improvement. The hinged club from Refiner and Medicus has worked very well in the standard golf swing in getting folks to swing properly. Refiner uses this theory quite well for putting as well since the putting swing has to be very specific as well or your putting suffers.

Now, in addition, getting the proper swing and alignment is great to start but if you really want to become a mentally tough putter , there is a specific way to practice to develop this ability that the great professional champions have. Here is the secret in a nut shell: Set-up the Practice Tour Putting Square - To set this up at home you need to have the correct practice putting green to allow the proper type of setup.
