The String Guide is used to indicate club path.
It will become obvious if
your club is following down a straight path to the hole or running inside
out or outside in.
 |
Work on creating the path that consistently results in the ball following the string directly into the cup.

The Stroke Grooving Block was designed for several different exercises.
Firstly if you flip the Block over you will see that a golf ball can be inserted
into the depression and marked with the enclosed Sharpie® Marker to
create an even line on the ball to aid in alignment. This mark is totally legal
to use on the course and is great for lining up putts.
|
Place the ball under
the string with the line on the ball directly under the string. When you
strike the ball you will quickly see if the ball was stuck pure by watching to
see if the line on the ball rolls end-over- end or if it wobbles down the
green. We are looking for a very smooth end-over-end roll on the ball.

Position the Stroke Groover on the opposite side of the string from your
body.
You will see that the block has numbers on top. Place the 0 directly
across from the ball. When putting use the numbers to make sure that your
follow through is equal to or longer than your back stroke. This will help in
preventing deceleration. The block is also used to control club path.
|
Position the block in such a way that the toe of the putter just barely
touches the block. Now take you normal stroke. Try to keep the toe against
the block for the length of the stroke. This will begin to give you the
feeling of being square at impact. This can be used in either a pendulum
style stroke or an arc style stroke. If your natural stroke is an arc, position
the block in the same manner but try not to bump the block on your
backstroke or follow through. This will tell you if you are creating a perfect
arc during your swing.

As you begin to feel more and more comfortable you can now remove the
flag stick and drop in the cup reducing ring.
This is a great tool for teaching
yourself to aim for the center of the cup.

At the very end of the green you will have placed a small white hash mark in the
middle of the rear panel. With the flag stick in the hole and your body
positioned on the foot stand take your natural putting stance.
Lean your body in or out or adjust your stance forward or back until the strip
disappears behind the flag stick. Once the white strip disappears your eyes
are directly over the ball, the position that all great putters strive for.
Begin to practice your stroke. Repetition is the key. Once you feel confident,
remove the block and the string and continue your practice session.

|
 |
You can begin to practice subtle breaks by placing the foam contour pads
under the turf. You can easily achieve left to
right and right to left breaks. The string guide can also be moved along the
back panel to continue to act as an alignment guide for breaking putts.
Remember that every putt is a straight putt so use the string guide on
breaking putts as well as straight putts.
