gman8966 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 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”!

tony@CIC Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Interesting mirror. BTW where did you get the wooden rail for the balls? That should be part of any indoor putting mat set-up. cksurfdude 1 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received it for Christmas a couple years ago and have been really happy with it. cksurfdude 1 Quote TSR3, Ventus TR Red 6X Velocore Shaft JPX 921 Tour Irons, T22 Wedges LAB Mezz.1 Max Armlock -ProV1x Foresight GC2 Launch Monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cksurfdude Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Looks good - kinda combines two putting training aids into one; eg a standard mirror plus a path/arc trainer.

Nice! It has certainly helped my putting this past season. I don't have any hard numbers, but was worth the time invested practicing with it.
