Take the guesswork out of reading your next putt with the help of The Raindrop!

With nearly 20 feet of retractable cable, this training aid was designed to help find your start line, acting as your North Star as you hit your shot towards the hole. So now you can have peace of mind with each stroke, developing the confidence you need to sink more putts.

Tour Aim with 3 Alignment Sticks

Whether you’re using a driver, an iron, a wedge, or your putter, the Tour Aim with 3 Alignment Sticks is a great way to work on your ball-striking ability.

With your driver and irons, it allows you to feel the distance between you and the ball — ensuring you’re setup the right way to hit the sweet spot of the club. And while putting, it helps you work on hitting the ball right on line and with the right stroke size, allowing you to work on distance control.

Short Game Gains Precision Putting Laser

Think of yourself as a Sniper, and your putter is the badass modified rifle that helps you lock on to your target. Our Precision Putting Laser goes on top of your weapon (the putter) and shows you EXACTLY how to perfect your aim, so you can feel more confident pulling that trigger. As we already know, 97% of players suck at aiming (see: Accurate Aim Kit) and if your aim is poor, you’ll have to make adjustments throughout the stroke to get the putter face aimed down the correct line in time for impact. This leads to inconsistencies and missed putts. The PPL comes with a tripod as well, which allows you to create a sort of “chalk line”- but this chalk line won’t ruin your hardwood floors. Click the Laser onto the tripod, align it with your target, and you have a clear visual of the line you’re trying to hit. *This laser is designed for indoor use, and is not visible in bright outdoor light*

Not quite sure if you’re reading the line properly on that pressure-packed putt on the practice green? Instead of guessing and hoping the ball rolls to the right spot, why not use the Short Game Gains Precision Putting Laser to provide an exact line to aim for?

As the name suggests, you’ll experience “short game gains” almost immediately, with this precision laser helping you become an absolute sniper on the putting surface — which is where you’ll see the quickest gains, by eliminating unnecessary putts that only add strokes to each round.

Swing Arc

Hitting the sweet spot of the club each time is going to give you the flush shots you’ve been dreaming of. But you’re not going to get there by coming off-plane and witnessing the ball go off either the toe or heel.

That’s why we love the Swing Arc as a top golf alignment stick — because it provides instant feedback on the club path, and gives you an easy-to-follow arc towards impact. So now you can take your ball-striking to a whole new level!
