pulledabill Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Im actually a decent putter and I do practice outdoors througout the year, but one of my winter goals is to get a more consistent stroke. Im considering one of the mirror systems out there but which one? Yes I research and sesrch the site, but discussion brings more. Also considering building a putting green in my basement as I have plenty of room.

Its not sexy, and it can be really boring, but if you can consistently do it, you can hit your line on the course. mbrodeur86, silver & black, TwoCoatsOfWax and 6 others 9 Quote Irons Titleist T200, AMT Red stiff Rogue SubZero, GD YS-Six X T22 54 and 58 wedges 7-wood 5-wood B60 G5i putter Right handed Reston, Virginia Link to comment
TR1PTIK Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I really like (and have used) Eyeline's offerings. Specifically this one: https://eyelinegolf.com/collections/putting-aids/products/edge-putting-system-with-rail-mirror-slight-arc. Unfortunately, it doesn't really work with mallets like my Scotty 6m because of the weights located on the back of the head. Your Taylormade would likely have similar issues. I eventually sold my Edge mirror and gave the putting rail to my course pro for use in his lessons. In place of those, I ordered the Classic Eyeline mirror in the smaller size so that it fits in my golf bag (https://eyelinegolf.com/collections/putting-aids/products/putting-alignment-mirror?variant=8019895058462). I use it at home all the time and can very easily take it with me to the course. pulledabill 1 Quote Driver: ST190 9.5* Fujikura Atmos Blue 5S Fairway Wood: ST190 15* Fujikura Atmos Blue 6S Hybrid: CLK 17* Fujikura Speeder EVO HB Irons: J40 CB (3-PW) Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Wedges: Milled Grind 2 54* & 58* Dynamic Gold S200 Putter: Tri-Hot 5k Two 34" Bag: Players 5 Stand Bag Ball: Maxfli Tour Link to comment
cnosil Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Ruler (as mentioned above) or gates to roll the ball through. Goal is to work on face impact position to start the ball online. Haven't found a way to work on distance control unless you build a pretty long putting green. pulledabill, perseveringgolfer and mr.hicksta 3 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment

ED13 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I use a gate system.

I am, and always have been a poor putter. Gate system, and new putter that suits my stroke () has helped enormously. As ED13 said its easy to identify a clear flaw doing this.

I haven't seen any real bounce, and if you make a good stroke (good path and clubface), the ball rolls straight. cnosil, JohnSmalls and silver & black 3 Quote Irons Titleist T200, AMT Red stiff Rogue SubZero, GD YS-Six X T22 54 and 58 wedges 7-wood 5-wood B60 G5i putter Right handed Reston, Virginia Link to comment

Haven't noticed anything either, doesn't really sit that deep in the hole and balls should have some lift and bounce before the pure roll phase of the putt. silver & black 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment

Mindthepond Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 After a hip replacement I was off golf for 12 weeks, for most of that time i used a mirror and a Eyeline golf sword. That really helps you groove your stroke, I came back putting really well just took a little time for the rest of the game to catch up. Quote Link to comment
vrnyn Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I use the putt out mirror and gates, and use small coins as target practice to switch up the block practice. cnosil 1 Quote M5 9.0* 915d 18* & 21* 716 AP2 4&5 ZB 6-P SM7 52-F, 56-S & SM6 60-K Futura X5 Link to comment
