Repetition with Feedback is the Key to Better Putting Practice

Repetition is the key to better putting, but simply spending more time on the practice green will not necessarily make you a better putter. Without proper alignment and accurate feedback, practice simply engrains any existing flaws in your putting stroke.

Great putting also requires the ability to see the correct line of the putt. Putting becomes simple when you realize that every putt is executed as a straight putt, and that making a breaking putt is a matter of identifying the correct target point.

Getting good feedback usually requires a second set of eyes to help identify any flaws in your alignment or stroke. The Way gives you that second set of eyes (using your ground level cell phone video) so that you will immediately know why you made or missed a putt.

The Way to better putting will improve your putting and put the fun back into your putting practice.

OUR STORY

Jon DuToit has been one of Minnesota’s top amateur golfers over the past ten years, having won both the Minnesota State Amateur and the Minnesota State Open. He was also a member of the University of Minnesota’s Big Ten champion golf team, and he has spent the past several years mentoring college golfers through his position with College Golf Fellowship. Jon has a passion for helping young men become better golfers, and better men.  Jon knows that to help golfers improve their game, they need to improve their short game and in particular their putting from inside of 15 feet. 

Tim Tingelstad was an Academic All American golfer in college in 1982. He has been inducted into the Concordia College Athletic Hall of Fame, as both a college golfer and as the inventor of a The Way putter which was used by top golfers across the States of Minnesota and North Dakota, and has been acclaimed by the top teaching professionals in both States.

Eric Niskanen, the inventor of this putting device, has been a high school and college golf coach for 37 years. Eric has also designed and built two golf courses, and he continues to work as a golf course consultant. Eric has spent 35 years as a teacher, and it was his passion to help young athletes that inspired him to invent a Pro-Angle goalie training system which is currently used by many NHL teams to train their goalies. As a scratch golfer, and an elite putter himself, Eric’s passion to help young golfers improve their putting led to the invention of The Way to better putting.

The science of putting tells us that the distance a ball should roll past the hole, if missed, is 17 inches. This gives you the best chance to hole more putts. The L shaped aim point feature of The Way to better putting can be placed 17 inches past the cup to practice this distance control, and can be used with, or without the line attached. 

It is much easier to align your putting face to a point approximately 16 to 24 inches ahead of the ball, rather than to a point 14 feet from the ball. The Adjustable Ball Gate feature will help train you to align and stroke the putt to a spot just in front of the ball, and will allow you to improve your ability to hit this spot by narrowing the gate as your stroke improves.
