I’ve been using the Dave Pelz Putting Tutor for about six months now, and it’s really helped refine my stroke. My putting stats have improved significantly, and I feel more confident on the green. Totally worth it for me!

That’s awesome to hear! I’ve been considering it myself. Did you notice improvements in your overall game, or just putting?

I’ve had a pretty similar experience! The Tutor has helped me consistently sink more putts during my rounds. It seems like a solid investment for anyone serious about lowering their scores.

I’d say it’s primarily improved my putting, but confidence does carry over to other parts of the game.!

I tried the Putting Tutor, but my results were mixed. I wasn’t patient enough, I guess. Have others improved their putting and maintained their progress?

Patience is key! It took me a few weeks of regular practice before I really connected with the Tutor. Now, I can’t imagine my practice without it. Stick with it!

I’ve had my ups and downs too, vross. But, the key is to practice regularly and be open to adjusting your technique. Progress takes time but it’s rewarding when it clicks!

I haven’t used the Tutor, but I think improvement is about finding the right tools that fit your style. Everyone’s different. Have you both thought about combining it with a coach?

If I had a dollar for every putting aid I’ve tried… Well, I’d still buy this one! It’s fun to use, and I feel like a pro when I sink putts with it! Anyone else feel like a putting superstar?

Haha, me too! I’ve never been so thrilled over a 5-foot putt. It’s almost a little embarrassing how excited I get!

I’ve been using Dave Pelz’s Putting Tutor for a few months now, and it’s been great for my short game. The alignment features are excellent and really help with consistency.

I’ve heard good things about it too, but how does it compare to something like the SmartBall or the EZ Roller? Anyone tried both?

15

I tried the SmartBall, and while it’s fun, I still find the Putting Tutor more effective for drilling my stroke.

16

That’s interesting! I felt like the SmartBall focused too much on the fun aspect rather than actual improvement.

17

From what I’ve seen, Pelz’s Putting Tutor is very user-friendly. It gives instant feedback which I appreciate. Perfect for those who prefer a straightforward tool.

I wonder if these putting aids really make a difference in actual gameplay. They seem useful for practice, but does anyone notice a real change on the course?

I heard Pelz is a bit of a putting guru. Some folks are critical about his methods, but it sounds like this aid does help many golfers. Just a thought!
