There is so much information available now on the Internet about pretty much everything and Putting is no exception. To be honest it is a minefield where so many experts have their view. Be it your putter face is not square, your shoulders are not aligned, your grip is wrong, the grass is growing in a certain direction, your not taking the wind into account, your putter is not fitted for you. And it goes on.
All of this is relevant but not the real answer.
​
The things that are true about putting.
40% of the shots you take on the golf course are putting.
​
There are 3 main reasons why Putts are missed.
-
Scientific research concludes that 60% of missed Putts are due to Green Reading with the main issue being golfers don't read enough break for their putts​
-
A large % of Putts hit, either go too far or come up short causing a 3 putt with deacceleration of the putter head being the No.1 cause.
-
Picking the line the ball is to travel on and executing the Putt.
​
Point 2 and 3 account for 34% of the reason Putts are missed. The other 6% is an outside agency. (e,g Green conditions, Wind etc.) Albeit everybody probably thinks it is more!
Putting is not simple; however, it can be easier than you think it is. The Putting Cheat Code is the answer. If you can read the slope correctly, aim the ball in the right direction and hit the ball with the correct amount of pace you will take between 4 to 6 shots off your score each round and for some golfers it could be a lot more.
​
What if you were able hit a 15 foot putt that goes 15 feet consistently, you were able to read the green either by vision or feel from your feet and then validate that what you are seeing is correct and then finally be able to aim your ball on the correct line for your read..... Game Changing you would say!​
​
​The Contents of this little bag are GAME CHANGING.
In testing results as good as 50% BETTER than the PGA Tour make rate average from 18 feet have been achieved. *
​
The 3 simple elements in the Bag will transform your putting.
​
The Putting Cheat Code Distance Control Mat : This will help you to feel the length of stroke you need to hit putts different distances from 6' to 18' which accounts for 75% of the putts hit on the golf course
​
The Validator : Once you have read your putt you will use the validator to check your read. 60% of putts that are missed are due to the putt being misread. Clearly you are not allowed to use this in competitions, however any other time on the golf course or putting green you should use it. You will be amazed how you start to See/Feel breaks on the greens that you never used to, which can only help when you are playing in competitions.
The Ball Marker : Now you have your read you can now use the Ball Marker to ensure that you aim the ball on the correct line. Also the marker conforms to the rules of golf and so can be used at all times. **

Before you carry on, lets just cover off some possible negative reaction to the Validator and how it maybe perceived, which is, it will give you an unfair advantage. The use of Distance Measuring Devices were made legal to use on the golf course in 2006 (GPS Watches) The Range Finder became legal in 2019 and so golfers that used them were able to know the exact distance to the hole. Strangely, this did not mean that every golfer started to hit their shots to 2 feet every time, and the Validator is no different. Just because you will have an idea of the slope on the green it will not guarantee that you will hole every putt.

* The PGA Tour make percentage for an 18 foot putt is 17% which is 3 holed putts over 18 holes from 18 feet. In testing a 16 handicap golfer hit a putt from 18 feet on 18 different holes making 6 out of the 18 which is a 50% improvement on the PGA Tour average. A further point. On the 12 holes the putt was not holed, only 2 putts were taken.
