    The wooden rail comes with the perfect practice mat. I received it for Christmas a couple years ago and have been really happy with it.

    This will be my first review. Lately, my putting has been struggling and I’ve been researching aids. I stumbled upon this gem while digging into Cam Smith’s legendary putting skills. I kept hearing on TV about how his putts drop dead center. So, I splurged on this mirror, thinking, “Why not give my putting a much-needed makeover?” And guess what? It actually worked wonders!
     
    The Pro Path Putting Mirror offers a solution to the nuances of putting mechanics. Boasting the endorsement of PGA Tour Pros and expertly crafted by elite golf instructors, this mirror is designed to fine-tune every aspect of your putting stroke. It focuses on improving eye and shoulder alignment, as well as refining your backstroke and follow-through.
     
    One standout feature in my opinion is what they call, the ProPath Arc. It has been engineered to guide your putting stroke along the ideal path. It took me a while to get used to it. At first I noticed I was using my hands way too much and was all over the place. But after several sessions, I’m automatically using my shoulders for a much quieter stroke and my ball easily starts on the intended path. Once I had some familiarity with the mirror, I took it to my course and was blown away. I was draining 12 footers like they were nothing. Left to right, straight, right to left, didn’t matter. I had so much confidence.
     
    The Pro Path Putting Mirror is reversible, both left and right-handed golfers can use the same unit. It’s really easy to use. It has eye and shoulder alignment lines that further enhance its effectiveness by ensuring proper posture over the ball, a crucial aspect of a successful putting stroke. My tendency is to stand way too far back, so it was surprising how far I had to move up.
     
    The mirror came with a very nice black microfiber carrying pouch. The optional putting gates provide additional value. I didn’t purchase the gates, so I can’t vouch for those, but many touring pros use them during their warmup. An easy startup guide is included and simplifies the process of putting (no pun intended) the mirror into your training routine. 
     
    In conclusion, the Back 2 Basics Golf Pro Path Putting Mirror has proven itself as a worthy investment for any golfer seeking to enhance their putting skills. I mean if Cam Smith uses it, good enough for me. Get ready to “Level Your Game Up”!

    I am also playing an EvnRoll, I like the heavier weight and the way the ball comes off the face. It is expensive but seems all of the top putters are, for me it was worth the money as I have more confidence with that putter.

    I recently picked up an Evnroll EV5.1 and love it. The ball seems to not come off the face as hot as my Scotty did, but the dispersion is tighter, so it’s a good trade off.

    The problems with shortening the putter are twofold:
    1.) putter heads are weighted for the build length.
    2.) as you have identified, the lie angle would also need to be adjusted (and I already play my putters 3 degrees flatter than your Scotty).
    I think that, all things considered, I should pass on it, rather than trying to adjust the putter to my specs and add weight to the head.

    gman8966 reacted to Noble 90 golf in Mandatory tee boxes?   
    In my opinion…. I feel that every golfer should be playing from the forward tees until they can par that specific course. So many people where I am tee off from the back tees and can’t barely get off the tee box. So many people have zero business playing inappropriate tee boxes for their level of play. It’s slows things down tremendously and shouldn’t be allowed.

    gman8966 reacted to Tom the Golf Nut in How to play a round of golf at an exclusive, private course (Aldarra in Sammaish, WA)   
    OK don't judge me, I have changed my evil ways.... 
    But about 15 or so years ago I was a pro at getting on private courses.  I would dress "private club golf nice" show up with a clean washed car. Go into the clubhouse and ask for the person that handles new membership. Let them go through their sales pitch. ( Don't  flinch when they tell you the price) Then say that is reasonable. They will probably ask you a little about yourself.. what do you do for a living. Territoty Sales Manager works. Plus state you are new to the area and noticed their fine golf club as you drove past and thought you would drop in to inquire. Ask for an application. Then say you would like to play the course once to make sure you like it.  9 times out of 10 your on. Then its up to you if you want to do this that day or schedule for another day. Sometimes they will invite another member or the clubs pro to play with you and sell you a bit. I always scheduled for another day. A week day is usually best to do this.
    Play public courses for free... Hi I run golf tournments for my companies golf league. We have bigger events twice a season. We were thinking of having our outing at your club. We have about 36 players plus we will invite some management and suppliers as well. What would you charge per person for the event? Would it be ok if we played a round to check out the course. I probably just bring one or two other members of the committee. What would you charge us to check it out?  Now you either get a freebie or a reduced rate. ( To QUALIFY this was all true) But I would check out 5 courses and then decide on one.

    gman8966 reacted to Josh Ross in Best Golf Tip you’ve received ?   
    Best tip I ever got was from Charles Howell III when I was his standard bearer. When I asked him his best advice when your stock shot isn't working right before a tournament, he said you play the shot you have. So if you normally play a push draw but while warming up on the range it's a baby fade, don't fight it. You don't have time to start trying to figure out what's wrong and you'll end up playing worse in the tournament. So, you just play the shot you have for the day and work it out later.
    He also told me to always play to a number and that helped me out a ton.
