Putting
Reviews
Putting Reviews are resumes of books, videos, ebooks, putting aids, and other items that can help you with your putting. I have read, or tested, each item and each resume is a short summary of my findings.
Occasionally in my research I will come across something to include in this list of reviews. However, there will be other items that are not included simply because the cost to benefit ratio to me personally is not great enough.
This does not mean that they are no good, but rather that I have decided not to pay out to read or test them.
For each resume there is a link to the relevant web site, or supplier, so that you can source the particular item as well as read more about it. It is not my intention to review any putters as this information is more readily available elsewhere on other web sites.
Reality of Putting
This has to be one of the best videos showing how to improve your putting that I have viewed. Geoff Magnum of Puttingzone.com in collaboration with Steve Elkington of the PGA Tour has produced an hour long explanation and demonstration of the important components of successful putting.
Each of the 10 chapters explains a different aspect of putting that is clearly demonstrated by Mangum and Elkington in an easy-to-understand manner. Examples of two of the chapters are Finding the Fall Line, and 3 Ways to Confirm the Break.
This is a video that the more you watch it, the more you will gain from it. Put the ideas into practice and your putting is bound to improve. Certainly Steve Elkington significantly improved his Putting Stats when he embraced Geoff Mangum's concepts.
If you are serious about improving your knowledge of what is and what is not important in putting, then I recommended that you get this excellent video. The information is put across in such a way that you will come away with a good understanding, and more importantly with a game plan, on how to putt better. Read More >>>
Golf Putting Lines
This is a handy inexpensive eBook that explains clearly how putts break on sloping greens.
Putting on a slope is not easy, but you will make it a lot more difficult if you have no idea where to aim. Getting the length of your putt correct is never enough if your line is off.
Most golfers under-estimate the break and their read is no better than a little left or a little right. Equip yourself with the right knowledge to putt with greater confidence. The text and numerous coloured diagrams have help me to pick better lines when faced with putts across the slope and they can help you too. As far as I know, the information in this eBook can't be found anywhere else.
Putting Lines is written by Marcel White whose background in engineering has made the subject of breaking putts easy-to-understand and simple-to-apply.
This is a good instructional text. Even if it may seem counter-intuitive, the more you improve at golf, the more you will need better input on the greens. One or two putts less a round are just as important no matter if you are playing for big money, for a beer, or simply for the pleasure of doing things the best you can. Read More >>>
Putter Perfection
This is described on the cover of the book as the groundbreaking guide to finding the right fit for your game. This low-cost book of 100 pages lives up to its claim with chapters on all the main elements of a putter that should concern you – chapters such as length, lie angle, loft, and balance among others.
The author Sean Weir has arranged the information systematically so you can equip yourself with a putter that matches you and your putting style. His explanations and illustrations are clear, and to the point.
Gone are the days when it was thought that any off-the-rack putter will do. While there are very few bad putters for sale, any putter that doesn't fit you is in reality a bad putter.
Once you have read Putter Perfection you will have a useful reference to take with you when you decide to have a putter properly custom-fitted to your requirements.
All in all this is a good read and a good buy – one that will help you improve your putting game and your scores. Read More >>>
Cup Reducer The Cup Reducer is a circular device with an opening to show the entry gate for a breaking putt. Inserted in the cup it can then be rotated to where the ball will most likely enter the hole. 
Very few putts are straight uphill or straight downhill. Most putts have some degree of break and this means that they will enter the hole via the side door. In other words the centre of the hole moves depending on the break. The Cup Reducer gives you instant feedback on whether you have read the amount of break correctly. Get it wrong and the ball will strike the raised portion of putting aid. 
The two Cup Reducers that I use during practice both do the same job. Each has a restricted entrance through which the ball can pass. Success is only achieved if you match the line to the speed. The SKLZ Putt Pocket and the Eyeline Bullseye are simple, yet effective, in helping you to judge where the true centre of the hole is on a breaking putt.
