Stay tuned everyone! We’ll be having some competitions coming on this review between our 4 testers!

My first impression has been added. 
 
I got out again today, but it was very windy. Even in the wind, I felt like I could not miss after 10 minutes of putting through the gates. 
 

Yesterday, I went to the course in hopes of getting 9 in, but the students are back in town. I went to the back of the range so I could just focus on my session. I have been hitting it good, but I wanted to really focus on my ball position and distance from the ball. I get the ball to forward and stand too far away at times. Both of these really helped me get better compression that I have been searching for all year. It was going good, but I was still having to “work” in the downswing. So I figured it was time to stop putting off working on my sway that kills me. I felt at setup like I am stepping on the inside of my right foot, and then maintain it in the downswing then push from there. This was phenomenal!!! I was getting effortless swings that was penetrating the wind and going so straight. I didn’t need to work in my downswing, it was fun to feel those swings. It is definitely something that I can build on going forward. 

So I am just eyeballing the rails, but I think there is something to this training aid. It is really exposing my inside takeaway. I had my best putting round today in over my last 15 rounds. I am having so many more one putts, and way less 3 putts. In just the short time of having it, I can see a major improvement on my start line. I have been rolling about 50-100 putts a day with it, and I can’t wait to see how this does long term.

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. 
 
 
 
Aesthetics (15 out of 20)  
 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.

Quick update, working on a more in depth unboxing. Anyone else having difficulty keeping the spacer bars in the grooves while adjusting alignment? 

Great to have you testing TrueStroke! As the inventor of both TrueStroke and Lean Lock Putters, I always encourage people to focus on how often and how consistently (% wise) you strike your putts solid and starting where you intended, versus simply how many you make. Green reading, speed control, etc. all have an impact on whether or not putts go in, but starting them on line where you intended is controllable and measurable. - Brian Tennyson

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. 

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.

FINAL SCORE 79 out of 100 

Quick update, working on a more in depth unboxing. Anyone else having difficulty keeping the spacer bars in the grooves while adjusting alignment? 

So I am just eyeballing the rails, but I think there is something to this training aid. It is really exposing my inside takeaway. I had my best putting round today in over my last 15 rounds. I am having so many more one putts, and way less 3 putts. In just the short time of having it, I can see a major improvement on my start line. I have been rolling about 50-100 putts a day with it, and I can’t wait to see how this does long term.
