Great question. I have the wellputt wellstroke mat where you put tees along the stroke arc, and each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Ease of use and setup go to the wellstroke. The wellstroke has a line running through it, so once you find the line lay it down and then roll a few, make adjustments and put your tees in and you are good. The downside is that on some putts you may get off track and miss a tee and not know it, it’s rare but could happen from time to time. Now this is just for me, but with it my stroke would get a lot of arc and my face would really open and close, I had the standard arc for reference. When it comes to true stroke I love that they are solid one piece design. When I first started I used them as a gate and teed them in and would run the putter along the rail to get a feel that my stroke really needed. Now I set them wide enough to miss them, and they are solid so there is no cheating this, if my stroke is off I feel it. The negative that I keep coming back to is setup is cumbersome. These pieces are bulky, and trying to get everything on the putting green is a task. It’s not something I would feel comfortable using before a tournament on a crowded green. Unless I make a ghost hole somewhere out of the way. Aiming it on something that is not a straight putt takes some work, but with time I have gotten better.  But to me performance has been so much better with the true stroke, and it does exactly what it claims, more straight back straight through and better face control. I don’t think I have ever had this much confidence in my putting, dare say with more time and work I might be a good putter.

Currently ai have seen minimal effect on my putting as until the courses open in a few weeks due to a really wet spring.  
using it currently on my perfect putting mat and having the mat for 2plus years I’m already pretty decent at putting.  It’s where ai have saved 3/4 strokes a hole.

Can you provide some more detail on what “already pretty decent at putting” means?   Your into doesn’t talk much about your performance or what you are looking to improve using the aid.   How are you using it to attempt to get improvement?  Any general input/thoughts on the device?

Sorry was writing this as I was waiting for luggage at airport.

pretty decent meaning 8ft and in I rarely miss on my perfect practice mat. This will change obviously on a green with different speeds and imperfections on the green. I went from shooting 120’s to breaking 100 just by practicing putting alone 

as a tester I’m testing the product itself which I personally find cumbersome at times at least on a putting mat..it can be pegged down on a real putting surface which may change my view of the product right now if my stroke is uneven in the PPM it knocks everything apart.  I am hoping it makes my stroke a little smoother as I am changing my strike.  Going for more of hitting a nail type of contact rather than follow through which I’m seeing improvements already. I like that contact better. I wish the two cross trails clicked in place.  Also the bottom had some grip too it for putting on a mat and outside

Also would have liked to seen a printed guide come with it so you don’t have to go looking online on how to use it.  Even just a one sheet

I will have more in a few weeks along with a video.  I got mine late due to customs issues being from Canada I also realize those aren’t brackets but the L brackets for the putter head. I feel dumb Ergh

Would the testers say this is more suitable for indoor or outdoor use?

I like it for both. Only thing with indoor is that it won’t be secured with tees like you would get with outdoor use. If you want to use it as a gate it would be outdoor.

I have been enjoying incorporating this product into my practice regiment.  Where I have felt the most impact on improving my putting is the emphasis on the upward angle of attack.  I realize that having a consistent feedback mechanism that makes me aware of attacking my puts with a consistent upward angle has given me much better feel and control for putting to various distances.  This is an aspect of putting that I have completely neglected before this trial, meaning I have struggled to consistently manage my depth of putts from round to round mainly due to inconsistencies with my putting stroke.  I feel much more comfortable at this point in the season with putting than ever before.  The design that provides this feedback is my favorite feature of this product through my testing.

My final review is in the works! I am excited about sharing my experiences with this product with you all!

It’s flooding here in Texas so I am forced to be inside, hopeful that I’ll get to play Sunday. I am gathering some final things for testing. I want one more run at my 10 foot competition. Here are some pictures I took at home, please excuse my dog hair on the mat, he thinks it’s his when I’m not using it lol. I start by setting it while trying to aim the putter, then use the bars to get it aligned. 

What often happens when I am trying to get it set, the teeth don’t sit deep enough and it’s hard to keep in the grooves when getting it aligned. So this happens… 

It gets very frustrating. Indoors I don’t really bother trying to keep it perfect because there is nothing to keep it from moving if I hit it. Outdoors I can use tees and it will stay put, but it does take time. I also, use an alignment rod when trying to get it lined up.

Nice job! Shaving a stroke a round is awesome, so hopefully it continues to help your game moving forward.

It really has done wonders for my stroke. Consistency of strike and start line have really translated to the course almost instantly.
