Everyone – even world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler – could use some improvement on their putting. The Putting Board training aid aims to help on that front.
The Putting Board offers the ability to adjust the plane angle to fit a golfer’s setup and allow the user to train the proper path, face angle, lie, loft, stroke length and acceleration at the same time. It comes with a shaft clip to help maintain face angle during the stroke and a speed board to help with stroke length on putts of 4, 7, 10 and 13 feet.
The roots of The Putting Board go back 15 years, when former world No. 1 Luke Donald and his instructor, Pat Goss, started training with a makeshift putting plane board to create a consistent and repeatable “on plane” putting stroke.
Goss and fellow instructor Sam McKenney decided four years ago to develop a better version of this board to help all levels of golfers, with the aim of assisting players maintain and repeat the proper lie, loft, face angle, path, length and acceleration during the stroke. The Putting Board claims to be the only putting aid in which a player can train in all six of these areas.
The Putting Board ($139.99) is easy to set up outdoors or indoors and can be folded in seconds for travel. Pre-order online at theputtingboard.com.
