PUTTING GREENS MESS WITH YOUR STROKE

Regardless of whether you think you have a great stroke or not, putting on greens with constantly changing feedback will cause you to compensate for it in your stroke. So, the more you practice on greens the more variable your stroke will become.

Or as the late, great Dave Pelz said, "Practicing on a putting green simply tends to level out all golfers' abilities."

The key is to INDEPENDENTLY build a true putting stroke before you put in time on the greens, OR, if you already spend time putting on greens, switch over to stroke building for the bulk of your time, then mix in green practice. In other words, BECOME EFFICIENT.

Why Putting Greens Mess With Your Stroke

DO YOU EVEN KNOW IF YOU HAVE A GOOD STROKE?

FACE ANGLE, FACE ANGLE, FACE ANGLE

Jim McLean says in his 1999 Golf School book: "Don't overpractice short putts or directional control on a putting green. Practice direction only under correct conditions - indoors on a putting track."

Have you ever tested your stroke with any tool that makes sense? Using a 27-inch putt, the Putting Alley perfectly ISOLATES the directional FACE ANGLE ERRORS that account for 90% of hitting a putt in the direction you want.

AND IT'S REALLY EASY TO USE.

The Putting Alley can sharpen your stroke to BEYOND Tour Level Precision.

You can do it at home, anytime of the day and regardless of the weather.

You will gain lots of confidence to make those nasty short putts, you know, the ones that count as much as a 250-yard drive.

You will develop directional precision to get your 40 footers online for a simple two putt.

Once you make 20 putts in a row on the Putting Alley you will have face angle precision that is TOUR LEVEL - enough to hole a straight 20-foot putt!

REVIEWS FROM THOSE WHO KNOW

  • This is an excellent product to learn to control the face angle, the most important thing in true direction. I'll be recommending it to people.

    - Martin Hall, past Host of School of Golf on the Golf Channel

  • I have been using the Putting Alley and believe it is a very useful aid for putting, especially for alignment and starting the putt online.

    - Bernhard Langer, Champions Tour

  • I tried out the Putting Alley last night, and it's great! It is the perfect tool for me to use at home, indoors!

INFO FOR THOSE WHO WANT MORE DETAIL

CAN THE PUTTING ALLEY MAKE ME A BETTER PUTTER?

Absolutely. And not just better - much better! Here's why:

  • It will narrow your putter face angle through repetition
  • That builds a stroke for precise control on ball starting direction
  • Which builds confidence in putting
  • That allows you to practice better at a putting green to concentrate on speed and break at different distances to make all putts 
  • And the built in leveler keeps it the same wherever you use it.

You MUST separate your stroke practice from your green practice. Consider getting advice from a professional who can teach stroke mechanics and putting setup. 

DOES IT NEED TO BE LEVEL?

Yes!!  From side to side, it has to be as level as possible, because:

  • If it's not level you introduce break in the putt, one of the green variables you are trying to avoid.
  • By being level, you establish a consistent, repeatable process that is required to know your stroke is getting better.  
  • The ability to level it means you can easily move it anywhere in your home or office, even for a short period of time.  
  • Some people play competitive games, either in person together or by distance, of who makes the most putts in a row.  Having the ability to level each device the same way eliminates argument of the playing surface.  

It took a rather long time to design a level that was secure from the impact of the golf ball and could be seen on either side and then include a safe and easy way to adjust it.  It's a game changer.

WHY ARE THE ALLEYS ON EACH SIDE A DIFFERENT WIDTH? AND WHY 27"?

Good question, and begs a little history of development: 

  • First, there are two Alleys because we figured out a design that allowed one on either side of the same device, which allowed a wider range of challenge. 
  • Twenty-seven inches was picked specifically because that is a couple inches "outside the leather" or "gimme" range.  It's the "knee-knocker" range that counts as much as the 300-yard drive.  
  • The two widths associated with 27 inches were chosen to match up to some key putting lengths.  The one-inch side provides the same accuracy required to hole a 10-foot putt.  The one-half inch provides the accuracy required to hole out a 20-foot putt. Just getting the starting line correct on these longer putts will improve hole out percentage.

So, while you are building confidence to make ALL small putts, you are greatly improving your odds of holing out longer putts.  Now go find a green and work on speed and break. 

EXPLANATION OF CURRENT AND AVAILABLE PRECISION LEVELS.

Here's a breakdown of the 1" and 1/2" precision metrics. With continued use the Putting Alley will cause your stroke to change in the following way:

The One Inch Side

  • Will narrow the face angle to +/- one (1) degree
  • This equals the precision required to make a straight, level 10-foot putt on a green.

The One-Half Inch Side

  • Will narrow the face angle to +/- one-half (1/2) degree.
  • This equals the precision required to make a straight, level 20-foot putt on a green.

Additional Alleys are available that can be overlayed onto either surface to hone your stroke to even higher precision levels. For example:

A One-Quarter Inch Alley

  • Will narrow the face angle to +/- one-quarter (1/4) degree.
  • This equals the precision required to make a straight, level 40-foot putt on a green.

A One-Eighth Inch Alley

  • Will narrow the face angle to +/- one-quarter (1/8) degree.
  • This equals the precision required to make a straight, level 80-foot putt on a green.
  • This is intended for long putts to make absolutely sure the ball starts out in the intended direction.
