With
the Putting Plane System you can easily use the mirrored surface to
check that your eyes are over the ball, shoulders are lined up, and
putter face is square.
The 2 straight rails
allow the putter to come straight back and through the stroke. Its
adjustable rails fit any putter size. You will have never rolled it so
well. The Putting system conveniently fits in your bag.
Step 1 - Precision Alignment to target line
- The first step in using the EyeLine is to accurately align it to your target.
- Step behind the EyeLine and aim the center black line exactly at the target.
- The smaller your target, the more accurate your alignment will be.
- Take your stance over the ball.
- Don't be surprised if your eyes try to tell you your line is off.
You may have been seeing incorrectly for years!
Step 2 - Eyes over the ball
Look down at the ball.
Your eyes should be directly over the ball and the centerline.
This could take some adjustment in:
- Your posture
- The position of your hands at address
- Your distance from the ball.
Step 2 - Precision Alignment to target line
- The second step in using the EyeLine is to accurately align it to your target.
- Step behind the EyeLine and aim the center black line exactly at the target. The smaller your target, the more accurate your alignment will be.
- Take your stance over the ball.
- Don't be surprised if your eyes try to tell you your line is off. You may have been seeing incorrectly for years!
Step 3 - Square putter face to target
Step 4 - Shoulders square to target line
- Since the putting motion is a rocking of the arms and shoulders, the shoulders need to be lined up to the target
-
Look at the bottom of the EyeLine nearest your feet. You should be able to see the tops of both shoulders.
-
If you see only your back shoulder, you are open to the target line. If you see only your front shoulder, you are closed to the line.
- Watch your shoulders as you make a stroke. Are they moving back and forth down the line.
Step 5 - Accelerating Stroke
There
are two things you must do to start the ball on line: You have to keep
the putter moving directly down the target line, and you must maintain
a square clubface. The way to do those things is to ensure that the
putter is gaining speed as it strikes the ball, rather than
decelerating.?

All good putters have an accelerating stoke.
Good touch on the greens demands a stroke that is accelerating through the ball.
The
EyeLine was created to help with this good habit. There are holes
behind the slot for the ball. When you place a tee in one of the holes,
it provides a restriction to your back swing and forces you to
accelerate through the ball.
Try this drill:
- Set up 10 feet from the hole.
- Place
a tee in the EyeLine in the last hole behind the ball. Let the tee
restrict your stroke and force you to accelerate. Stroke several putts
trying to hit the ball further each time. Move the tee to the next
closest hole, and continue until the tee is in the closest hole to the
ball.
- Get the feel of accelerating through the ball. Remove the tee and hit more putts.
- Notice how solidly you are striking the putts?
Note:
This is a drill to help you learn to accelerate. As you do this drill,
pay attention to the change in direction of the putter. A smooth
transition combined with an accelerating stroke is Gold!
The Putting Square System will improve your putting! Guaranteed.
