If you’re here, you’ve probably had some issues with the greens this year. If that sounds like you, don’t sweat it. Putting is a tricky part of golf, and when you’re struggling, the cup can look like it’s the size of a thimble.

GPOD Carbon Fiber
It’s the easiest way to mount and film your putting stroke or golf swing. Just stick the GPOD into the ground and stick your phone to the magnet!
Putting Swing Arc
If you’re struggling on the greens, it’s important to iron out your stroke so you can get some sort of consistency with the flat stick. This Putting Swing Arc aid is perfect for that. It’ll give you a great visual of your stroke length and arc, and get you back to putting a pure roll on it in no time.
Perfect Putting Mat
Winter is coming, but that doesn’t mean your game has to suffer. If you want to practice your putting indoors all winter long, give this mat from Perfect Practice a try. By the time the Masters rolls around, you’ll be putting as well as the pros (results may vary).
Putting Alignment Mirror
So you’ve got a mat to practice on. Now, you need a device that’ll give you feedback. This putting mirror is perfect for giving you a visual aid on where your head is when you set up and during the stroke.
Putting Chalk Pen
First, thank your lucky stars if you’re fortunate enough to have an outdoor practice space for the winter. Second, check out this chalk pen that you can use on the greens. It allows you to draw an easily erasable line on the greens and will give you a visual aid to aim for.
Precision Putting Laser
If you don’t want to mess with chalk on the greens, how bout a laser instead? This Precision Putting Laser will also give you an aiming aid on the greens, and you’ll look futuristic while doing so.
Cup Reducers
Once you get pretty good at putting, you might need to start making things more difficult in practice. That’s where these cup reducers from Short Game Gains come in handy. They reduce the size of the hole and force you to be extra precise to hole putts. Once you take them out, the cup will look the size of a basketball hoop.
