Best golf training putters according to redditors

PuttOut

Putting!


Get a long metal ruler from home depot, like this one. The ball sits in the hole at one end, and then you try and putt it straight down the ruler without the ball falling off the sides.


If you have any putting mat then the combination of a putting mirror and the putt out will make you deadly from inside of 5'

Putting mirror, I paid $8 on eBay IIRC.

Putting string, I made it myself.

Amazon link. They jacked up the price of it after it got a bunch of attention at the PGA show.

Both the PuttOut target hole, and the accompanying mat are PHENOMENAL! The hole is the only thing you need if you have decent carpet, but the mat is too good not to get as well. It's the thickest mat I've found for under $100, and it's designed to help you practice without getting bored. I honestly haven't found anything that comes close in terms of performance or value.

My favorite drill (that I do at least 2-3 each day) is to start at the 6 foot mark, make a "perfect putt" (where you get the ball to stop on the ramp), move to 5 feet, make another, and so on till I get I've made six. The most "perfect" putts I've made in a row is four, but one day I'll make all six (seriously, it's NOT easy).

Hello fellow Minnesotan, the "Putt-Out" immediately comes to mind. It's affordable, works indoors and outdoors, and if it means anything I've really enjoyed mine. Here is a link:

I use foam balls in the basement into a chipping net. Ceilings are only 7 foot so nothing above the waist.

Also have a birdieball putting green which is nice.

Puttout for the win. I use real golf balls for the putting.

I like this, might just pick one up tonight. I had been considering the Original Putting Alley because it returns the golf ball to you, but I can always use a straight-edge around the house if I do end up with both.

EDIT: ordered tonight, Amazon Prime $7.97

PuttOut Pressure Putt Trainer - Perfect Your Golf Putting https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9BXYW3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_WHzmzbV2CM8Y4

I saw this yesterday, ordered it off Amazon (it was only $24.99 yesterday)

http://amazon.com/PuttOut-Pressure-Putt-Trainer-Perfect/dp/B01N9BXYW3

Interested to see responses. I was gifted a putter a few years ago and it's the only club in my bag I didn't pick out for myself. Been contemplating a fitting and a new putter for 2018.

Kansas City Golf Show is next weekend so I've already prepped the wife to not be surprised to see a $200-$400 charge on the ol' card. And by prepped I mean I'm just going to do it and ask for forgiveness later.

edit: I did get a putting mirror which helped me a lot with my setup. I never realized how far I was leaning over the ball until I used one of those. You can probably find one cheaper/better/whatever but this is the one I got https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030F4JHM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Putting Partner

Yup, only about an inch high though, and a very gradual slope (Gets up to that 1" thickness over about a 16" length).

The holes do a good enough job, but I like using it with a PuttOut covering the middle hole, personally.

To anyone who wants one of their own:

This has been out [for a long time already](https://www.amazon.com/Sidekick-Caddy-Bronwyck-

The Putting Connection is really a simple piece of plastic but I've been using mine since 1996. Easily the best training aid I have used.

You can probably get both cheaper if you search

Keeping your head directly over the ball, keeping your head still throughout the stroke, making contact in the center if the face, and making sure my stroke did not arc on short putts. Many pros use them. You can get one on ebay for about 30 bucks and it will help you more than getting a new putter ever could. It also works great at home while watching tv. If you can't tell I highly recommend getting one. I also recommend getting a seemore putter if you really want to make all your short putts. Ernie els is a perfect example of switching to a seemore and going from the infamous 6 putt to leaning the tour in strokes gained putting over the last 4 or so weeks.

Sorry I misunderstood your question, it is not the edge version either.

Hopefully this link works:

EyeLine Golf Putting Alignment Mirror https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030F4JHM/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_DE6pxbWGJXVS0

For putting, I bought this EyeLine track thing and it has worked wonders. Really helped getting my eyes over the ball and keeping the putter square
Something like this...

Don't bother- buy a putt out for about $30 and it'll do the same thing for a fraction. My putting has improved by almost .75 putts per round since I started using it. I know that sounds like bs, but I can send the Arccos screenshots if you want.
