Initial Putting Assessment

Do you find yourself always tinkering with your putter? Constantly changing your putter grip? Maybe the putter itself? Always trying new things but with no long term success?

Book in a putting assessment at Putt Lab, and I will give you the direction you need to become a more skilful putter. The Assessment will include detailed data of your putting stroke including before and after data and posture/setup photos. The assessment will also help diagnose any changes that could be made to the putter specs and the changes can usually be made on the spot.

Duration: 1.5 hours

My Process

A streamlined approach to transform your putting

To start, the player’s putter specs are digitally measured. Loft, lie, length, swing weight and dead weight. We want the data captured during testing accurate to the exact putter specs, NOT the assumed factory specs on a manufacturer’s website. Information about the players golf and skill level is gathered, the putter specs are entered, and the assessment begins.

The assessment starts with a series of putts captured with the focus on how the player likes to aim or the players aiming preference ie sightline, face, line on the ball .. When we see players with a large aim bias left or right of the intended start line, we will see a stroke pattern develop over time to compensate. Certain putter designs like mallets for example, will tend to stay open if they get open so the player may just start to aim their stroke left to get the ball to start online… Easy on a flat surface, hard on slope! 

During the testing, Capto 3.0 will capture detailed data of the putting stroke, with Hackmotion used to capture wrist patterns. Information about the player’s setup, posture and grip will also be captured on camera.

The data is broken down to the player in the way that best suits their learning style. The areas that need improvement are explained and the reason why we need to improve them. After the player has a better understanding of their stroke and what needs to change and why, the last part of the assessment has the player return to the putting green to work on one of the areas shown most needing improvement. The next series of putts are captured and the before and after improvements are shown and broken down again to the student.

Upon completion of the assessment the student will receive an email with the session’s findings broken down as they were during the assessment but in word form and the before and after improvements shown. 2x key things will be given to work on to help the student improve and the baselines are set for us to improve from with further instruction.

*After the initial assessment, it is VERY IMPORTANT that the student follows as soon as possible with https://puttlab.com.au/green-reading/  This is the most important/valuable golf lesson the student will ever have.
