Howdy, my name is Corbin Jeffs, cjeffs12. I work in the Trucking Industry. I was a driver, then an instructor, and just recently I was promoted to Operations Supervisor in College Station, Texas. My wife and I love to travel, and we have dogs and horses. 
                               
I started golf in college. A few years ago, I started playing in a few amateur events a year. I am usually around a 4 with my goal of getting to scratch or better. I grew up playing sports so I am naturally very competitive, so when I would play with people who were better they would typically hit it further than me. This is when I found MYGOLFSPY, in my research of SuperSpeed sticks. I loved how the review process was, it was not like an infomercial. It was real people sharing their real experiences. My strength is being long off the tee, and this last year I really focused on my approach game. This has paid off and now I am averaging around 10 GIR, but averaging 34 putts a round is not going to get me to scratch. This year my main focus is maintaining my ball striking, and drastically improving my short game and putting. My putting is really holding me back, I have buddies who are scratch or a 1, and all my stats are as good as or better than theirs, except for one: Putting. I am averaging about 2 more putts a round than them, so this is really motivating me to improve. 
  
 
I have really been struggling the last two years with putting. I tend to bring the putter inside which leads to pushes and the dreaded compensated pulls. So getting putts to start on-line is not my strength. My Pro has really been trying to get me to be more Straight back straight through, but old habits die hard, so the True Stroke trainer focus to fix face awareness and straight path really excites me. My goal of how to test this is my tracking my number of putts in my last 20 rounds vs how many rounds I will get in during testing, and then when I stand with 20 rounds after I start with the trainer. I plan on ending each day with 15 minutes a day of rolling putts with the trainer. Most of my focus will be from 5 and 10 feet, but will do putts at 20 feet as well.  I will track my putting stats through each week from 3,6 and 10 feet. I will do my ladder drill where I set up tees at 12,15,18,21’ and keep a score. Although most of the tracking numbers will be done on the practice green, I am curious to see how it translates to the course. I do have a WellPutt stroke trainer that I will compare with the True Stroke. My expectations for the True Stroke is that with better face control and a more neutral path that I will see a massive difference on putts made inside of 10 feet. If True Stroke can help me start the ball on-line, this will definitely stay in my practice routine. I have watched a few videos about the True Stroke and as an Aggie, a bright orange training aid will be a bit difficult, but nothing a sticker can’t fix lol.  As of when I post this, I am not in a good mind space when it comes to putting, and borderline yippy. I do not feel comfortable with putter in hand, so this is much needed for my game, and I am very excited to get this testing started. 
First Impression ( 7 out of 10) 
When I first opened the True Stroke Putting Trainer and set it up, I almost immediately thought about Lego’s. . The mesh packaging is flimsy and looks as it will not hold up for the length of this test, but it does the job of getting from the car to the green. The Tour Stroke Putting Trainer appears to be a well-built device that can endure regular use without showing any signs of wear and tear. However, I can't help but feel a bit apprehensive about the device's durability in the event of an accidental fall or impact on a hard surface, particularly at the edges. I found aligning the training aid to the hole/ line to be challenging. The notches on the bars to set the width of the two tracks do not hold while you adjust the two tracks, and so setting them parallel and on line is not as easy as I would have liked. As far as performance goes, I am seeing massive improvements already. I am hitting about 50-100 putts each day, and I did not realize how I take the putter inside so much. Getting more down the line has really helped my strike and start line. I have already tied my best putting round in my last 20 rounds. I have noticed that there are some areas where production can be improved, but overall, the performance is very promising. With a few positive changes and adjustments, I believe that the production could be taken to the next level and lead to even greater results.

 Although I am not a huge fan of orange, the process is fairly straightforward. I did dock points for the flimsy bag it comes in; it’s weak and way too big and bulky, and makes it look cheap. I still have not added my Texas A&M sticker, but it will help the way it looks. 

THE NUMBERS (20 out of 20)
Now I may be biased because I am coming off my career-best round of 72, with my best-putting round of 28 putts, but this has really improved my game!! When I started our competition from 10 feet and see how the total distance of the misses, I had 0 makes and my total was 12’4”. My most recent is 3 makes and a total of 5’4”!! The confidence I have in putting is insane. Since I have started using the TrueStroke I have dropped almost one stroke a round. Even my buddies I play with have noticed a difference. 

ON THE COURSE (12 out of 20) 
On the practice  green is better than indoor, but I have a hard time getting the TourStroke setup. Having the holes to place tees in to hold it in place are great, but it does take time to setup. Once getting it setup and placing the tees in so it does not move its great, but since there is no alignment tool, and the rods do not stay in place when trying to adjust it to the line. I have been using an alignment rod, but I think that the notches need to be deeper and more width to stay in place while moving the rails to get parallel and on line. The performance I get out of it is well worth it, and I do not think it needs much to make it a lot easier to use and setup. 


THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE INBETWEEN (7 out of 10)
The good is performance and that is an understatement. The bad is the getting setup. I have stressed that throughout testing and still stand by it. I do not think it is far off, but the little things really do make it frustrating. For the good performance I get out of it, I would use this before a tournament, and I have changed my outlook on this point. I have purchased a ghost hole so I can still be out of the way. The inbetween is the indoor performance. Since it has no way of staying in place, if you bump it at all it moves. All in all I feel like it really does what the manufacturer promises. My stroke is more straight back straight through with much better face control. 

PLAY IT OR TRADE IT (18 out of 20) 
I will continue to use the True Stroke as long as I keep putting the way I have been putting. Although I do get frustrated with the setup, I have never been so in control of my putting. Everyone who has been around my game has noticed an improvement in my putting, and it has helped my game improve. I and my pro have wanted me to be more straight back and through, and not take it away inside. I am interested to see how low my putting can get with the use of the Tour Stroke. 
 
CONCLUSION 
Over the last few weeks my putting has improved by almost one stroke a round, and I have seen my best putting round of my career of 28 putts. I have difficulty setting up the True Stroke, and I think just some minor improvements could make this phenomenal. I struggle(d) with an inside takeaway, and this really helps me get the feels that I need to be a more consistent putter. I think with time with the True Stroke I can really be a good putter, and I know I have seen great improvements.

My introduction is up, and I am absolutely pumped to get this going. I have tried left hand low, claw and even midlock right now. I haven’t even wanted to look at a putter let alone be excited to roll putts, but here I am like a kid waiting for Christmas. 

Hello Fellow MGS Members! 
I am excited for the opportunity to test the True Stroke Putting Trainer and share my experiences with you all.   Let me first begin by introducing myself.  My name is Dan and I reside in south central Minnesota.  I am a registered nurse and currently work within an Emergency Department in Mankato, MN.  I have been working in the medical field for over 12 years and had previously spent time on Active Duty in the Army as an Army Nurse. 
I am happily married and have two beautiful daughters.  When I am not golfing, they keep me busy with activities such as dance, softball, and keeping me up to date on all things Taylor Swift. 

As far as my golf game, it is a work in progress.  I have been golfing for most of my life, but the first 20-ish years were very casual.  I would occasionally golf with friends for entertainment, but I would hardly put in any additional practice to improve my game.  It wasn’t until the winter of 2022, when I decided to get fitted for clubs, that my desire to take the game more seriously and improve really sparked.  I made an investment in my equipment, so it became time to invest in myself.  I am a member of Minnesota’s Public Country Club, which gives me great access to 160+ courses throughout the state and region.  I absolutely love playing new courses because it brings about new challenges while also experiencing the intricacies of each region. 
Where does my game currently stand?  I am currently in my mid-thirties and my game continues to improve.  I set out last summer with a goal to be a consistent bogey golfer by the end of the season and was able to accomplish that goal.  I am not a long-ball hitter.  I never have been, and I probably never will be.  Because of this reality, it is crucial for my short game to be dialed in.  That’s a major reason why I am so excited to test the True Stroke Putting Trainer.  I have always been confident in my putting, but after getting the advice of “you have to learn how to score” by fellow MGS member @Preeway, I realize that I need to take better opportunity on the green to take my game to the next level. 

True Stroke Putting Trainer – The Plan
Going into this test, I know very little about the True Stroke Putting Trainer.  Currently, my primary putting tool is the Compact Putting Mirror as made by Puttout Golf.  I enjoy the compactness of this tool and ability to easily bring it with me wherever I go.  This tool is primarily beneficial for verifying a consistent setup but fails to provide any real feedback mechanism on my actual putting stroke.  This is where I hope the True Stroke Putting Trainer will help my putting; through the application of real time feedback that promotes a more consistent stroke and keeps my putts on-line.
I will plan to utilize the True Stroke Putting Trainer on both synthetic and real greens.  At home, I utilize the Competitor Pro TW Putting Green (made by Big Moss Golf) and this will serve as my primary putting surface as I gather my initial impressions and practice with the True Stroke Putting Trainer.  In addition, I will utilize outdoor greens at my local golf club to validate my initial impressions and perform any testing on the effects of the True Stroke Putting Trainer.
The Methodology
My hypothesis: The re-enforcement of positive movements within my putting stroke will establish improved muscle memory and ultimately improve my putting performance after implementing the True Stroke Putting Trainer within my practice regiment. 
To test this, I must first establish a baseline for putting performance to measure the impact of the True Stroke Putting Trainer.  I will conduct my testing on a real grass surface at my local golf club and create measures of putting success both before and after implementation of the True Stroke Putting Trainer.  I am expecting to see improvements in my putting performance after the implementation of the True Stroke Putting Trainer and will ultimately make recommendations on the True Stroke Putting Trainer based on the results of my testing. 
I am excited to take on this opportunity and share my experiences, I hope you enjoy the roll with me! 

 
 
 
First Impressions (7 out of 10)
The Unboxing:
Unboxing Quick Thoughts:
Pros: 
Comes in a nice mesh, draw string bag that can fit within a golf bag Made of sturdy plastic Cons:
Poor packaging for shipping Some assembly required (magnetic strips are loose without clear recommendation for placement on L brackets) Lacks robust information, instructions, or recommendations for use within the packaging (will cover in more detail in future posts) The Instructions
The Instructions Quick Thoughts:
This product is rather intuitive, but overall lacks front facing exposure of instructions and the overall purpose of the device within the initial presentation of the product.  Why this matters?  If I were to gift this to my technologically challenged parents, they would have a hard time understanding the concepts of the TrueStroke Putting Track because the only way to gather information about the product is through the QR code interface.   
The product does have clear instructions for use within the QR code business card that comes with the product.  I think this approach assumes that the purchaser has some level of understanding of the TrueStroke Putting Track prior to purchase of the product itself. 
I appreciate the ability to watch videos that are generated by the creator of the product, but I do wish there were more robust training regiments or recommendations included within the instructions.  For example, I wish there were specific drills that incorporated the training device over a set period of time to address the three crucial components that the TrueStroke Putting Device is intended to correct.  Finding ways to incorporate the theory of the device within the initial instructional page would benefit the overall adoption of the product. 
The Setup
The Setup Quick Thoughts:
I appreciate the flexibility of this product to be used with any putter.  Within the above video, I utilize a Scotty Cameron Special Select Newport 2, Ping Prime Tyne 4, and Ping Doc 17 to capture the flexibility of this product to match any putter.  I had challenges with the magnetic L brackets working with any of these three putters, therefore my training regiments will likely forego the use of them. I could utilize rubber bands to hold these brackets in place, but I lack motivation to find others means to get a product to work as intended if it means that I need to gerry-rig something outside of the product contents itself.
Overall, my initial reaction is that the immediate feedback that is provided by the TrueStroke Putting Track is a key component of this product.  The initial alignment can be cumbersome, but once in use, the ability to putt and feel when the putter head comes off line, whether because of take back or face rotation through the stroke is a huge benefit.  Understanding that this product is designed to improve the overall putting stroke, I project there will be great benefit in conducting putting motions without the ball in order to increase repetition and build muscle memory. 
Other putting tools that I have used in the past are great for improving the address of the golf ball but fail to incorporate a strong influence on the putting stroke itself.  After familiarizing myself with the TrueStroke Putting Track, I am hopeful that this product with improve my ability to keep my putts on my intended line.
 
Aesthetics (12 out of 20) 
Overall, the True Stroke Putting Track is made out of sturdy plastic.  I never felt worried about having the product loose in my trunk and overall it has held up during the testing period.  The pieces were able to fit within my golf bag but were rather bulky so I don't anticipate storing them within my bag.  The additional pieces, which include the L brackets and spacers were essentially unusable because 1. The magnetic pieces on the L bracket didn't work on any of my putters and 2. The teeth on the spacers aren't deep enough to hold the product in place, therefore my training mostly excluded these pieces.  


 
The Numbers (16 out of 20)
I wanted to apply both objective and subjective measurements within my testing.  Obviously a lot goes into successful putting, so utilizing data to validate how I am feeling on the course is important.  Overall, since training with the True Stroke Putting Track, I have been feeling very comfortable on the putting green.  It feels as if I am keeping my ball on line consistently within each round that I play.  Additionally, my roll and ability to control my speed has improved.  I attribute much of this new found confidence from the live feedback that is generated by the TrueStroke Putting Track and its promotion of putting at a consistent upward angle.  
For testing, I completed 100 putts from each distance of 5', 10' and 15' both before unboxing the True Stroke Putting Track and after training with it for the last couple of months.  My pre-training results from 5' were 73/100 made putts and my post-training results from 5' were 63/100 putts.  Obviously this data does not support improvement, but I will say, I felt that I rushed through the post-training testing at this distance.  It took me a little bit to settle in as my helping hands' (6 and 8 years daughters) excitement settled down.  I would be curious what my results would be if I re-tested from this distance.
 
From 10', my testing shows improved results.  During the pre-training period, I made 35/100 10' putts.  Following the implementation and training regiment of the True Stroke Putting Track, my results jumped to 54/100 10' putts.  As I have spent more time on the putting green this spring, my confidence from this distance has greatly improved both on the practice green and on the course. 
From 15', again my data showed improved results.  My pre-training period makes were 13/100.  My post-training results were 34/100.  I do feel the True Stroke Putting Track has allowed me to gain muscle memory for a productive stroke and I believe the results from both 10' and 15' support this. 
 

 
On The Course (14 out of 20)
This product is best suited for practice at home, or at a facility.  Given that this trainer is focused on improving the putting stroke, I found it most beneficial just taking dry swings without a ball in order to maximize repetition to build muscle memory within my busy life schedule. 
It is too bulky to carry in the golf bag and too cumbersome to setup quickly at the course.  I foresee myself primarily just utilizing one piece of the track going forward if I bring it to the course. One individual rail with the overhead attachment can provide me with the same feedback mechanisms that I am looking for.  
 
The Good, the bad, the in between (5 out of 10)
Overall, I appreciate the opportunity to utilize this tool and I have found benefit in it but I believe some major opportunities still exist.  I don't think the True Stroke Putting Track is easily gifted, as it lacks fundamental education and concepts at the fingertips within the packaging and presentation of the product.  I play golf with my Dad pretty regularly (he's 67) and he still has very little understanding of QR codes.  I think finding ways to market and promote this product outside of the website would be beneficial.  I also think it would be beneficial if they gave more recommendations on how to train with it.  More robust training recommendations such as, "we recommend using this product in this way, over this time in order to start seeing results". Demonstrating more proof of concept would help promote this product.
I wasn't overly concerned about whether the golf ball went into the hole while training with the True Stroke Putting Track and I think that allowed me to find ways to incorporate the tool that has yielded improvements within my game.  I am frustrated that the L brackets did not work for me and understand that I could have found alternative ways such as utilizing rubber bands to hold the L brackets in place, but I am one that if I buy something, I want it to work as purchased and not necessarily have to add additional components or methods to make it work as intended.  Lastly, this product retails for $119 online.  I think this price-point is extremely high when compared to other putting aids.  It is a price that I wouldn't pay if I encountered it on a store shelf.  
 
Play it or Trade it? (14 out of 20)
Ultimately since I have it, I will continue to use it, but at its current retail price of $119, I don't think it's a product that I would purchase off the shelf.  It's hard to not recommend a golf product that I believe has allowed me to improve my putting, but considering there are similar products or even tee setups that can replicate many of the the same mechanisms of this product for a fraction of the cost, those options seem much more equitable. 
 
Conclusion
The True Stroke Putting Track is intended to build muscle memory within the putting stroke.  I believe there is merit within their claim.  I will continue to train with my True Stroke Putting Track away from the course.  I have seen improvements in my putting and feel much more comfortable on the green this year.  Some of that could be due to the volume of rounds that I have already put in this season, but some of that also has to be attributed to my training with the True Stroke Putting Track.  Hopefully some of the opportunities identified within these reviews can improve the product and ultimately improve all of our games. 
 
Final Score (54 out of 100)
 

So thankful that I was selected, my putting is in desperate need of help. My ball striking has been so good, but putts are not falling. I have even put an armlock(Midlock) putter in the bag, and I am hoping this helps me get back to my ER5v standard putter. I am ready to get to work. 

Congrats testers!!! Hopefully you all shave off a few strokes with the flat stick after testing!!

I needed an after work therapy session yesterday, so I went to the range to work on my swing. I started with the prosendr to get the feels and connection. I am really trying to feel my arms drop and lead hip to clear to start my downswing, and I was really striping it with my P and 8. I moved to my 4 iron as I try to make it as difficult as possible and expose my swing. It was not working with the 4, and then something clicked, I tucked my trail elbow turned my inner forearm to the sky then turned my hand to grip the club(sorry internal and external rotation always confuses me). This really allowed me to feel it work around arc and not so chicken wing at the top. I started flushing my 4 iron and was hitting the green on the range at 225, I loved the contact and how shallow my divots were getting. I hoping that I am at a place to where I can go play 9 this week and start working on playing better golf. 

I had my first practice session with Jumbomax on all clubs. I have used them before, and they were hit or miss. At the end of last season I injured my left hand hitting a roof, and started getting a pop in my left hand during my release. So I thought I would dig them back out and give them another try. Honestly, I really enjoyed hitting them. I lost a little feedback, but could still tell in a general area for a mishit. I went from my miss being a pull to a push. I found that I can really turn and not fear a big left miss. No pain in my hand after a long practice day. I finished up with chipping. This took about 30 minutes to adjust and not dig the leading edge in, but after awhile I started chipping really well. 

Had a really good range session today. I worked with the Prosendr hitting pitch shots and half swing 8 irons. I hit about 40 balls with my 4 iron, really trying to expose my swing. This really helped, at first I was coming way over the top trying to focus on compressing it. Then went back to getting my weight pressure correct, and started hitting the ball high and straight. I did this to expose my swing, but also to check and see if I need a more forgiving option. After today, I think I can make it work, but also thinking I may want a hybrid or a more forgiving iron. I then moved to putting. This is my first pressure practice session since I’ve gotten the midlock. I set tees at 12,14,16,18,20’ with an alignment rod 3 feet past the hole, and points are 3 for a make, 1 for in between hole and rod, and -1 for short or past the rod. I played to 20 points. Then I setup at 3’ and made 20 in a row. I really like the midlock, I really got into a groove at 3’ that I usually didn’t get with a traditional putter. 

The weather is starting to get better, so busted out the super speed sticks today. Trying to knock off the winter rust. The first training session was a little rough, I didn’t realize how out of shape I have gotten. I’m a long way from my speed goal this year, but it’s off to a good start. Finished up with some putting.
