"I used to be a terrible putter," said golf pro and PuttPath inventor Tim Overman. "I dreaded walking onto the green, because I had zero confidence I could sink even a three-foot putt."
Working with an instructor, Overman tried to correct his path by changing grip and adjusting focus. But he still had a hard time squaring the face of the putter. After weeks of practice, something crazy happened — he thought about bowling. "When I bowl, I never look at the pins. I'm looking at the little arrows three feet in front of me on the lane."
That simple idea was the beginning of the PuttPath. Overman developed the PuttPath with two distinctly different sides: the training side and the pro side.
TRAINING SIDE – The training side has two contrasting colors that help golfers quickly learn to visualize the perfect arc so they'll see it when they step onto the course.
PRO SIDE – The pro side contains a series of dots situated every 8 inches along the surface. This tool is designed to get the golf ball on the intended line to the hole.
PuttPath's patent pending revolutionary training system is based on your body's own natural motion. By breaking down each phase of the putter's swing, it teaches golfers to feel the perfect release of the putter head.
"We're really excited about getting the PuttPath into the hands of golfers everywhere," said Overman. "Because of the PuttPath, I literally dropped my handicap four strokes in one summer."
Unlike other training aids, PuttPath is both portable and affordable starting at $39.99. However, the first 100 Kickstarter supporters can get the PuttPath for $25; the second 200 pledges can get it for $30.
