Why does a great hitter still practice off a tee?

For the same reason a basketball player practices their release against a wall: to give a specific skill focused attention.

You can do the same with your putting stroke.

Str8Putt gives you a simple practice reference and immediate feedback to help you develop a more repeatable stroke—so you can start the ball where you intended more consistently.

Give yourself something clear to practice.

A batting tee takes the moving pitch out of the equation. Shooting against a wall lets a basketball player concentrate on the release.

With Str8Putt, you can give your stroke attention without judging every repetition by whether a putt goes in.

Settle into your comfortable putting stance. Adjust the guide arms, then move your putter shaft between them without making contact.

Touch an arm, and you have something to notice. When did it happen? Does it happen repeatedly? What changes when you make an adjustment?

Start with room to move. Narrow the space as your control improves.

A reference for your stroke.

I don’t believe every golfer needs to putt straight back and straight through. Golfers putt successfully with different amounts of arc.

What matters is delivering the putter consistently enough to start the ball on your chosen line, at your intended pace.

I created Str8Putt to help you recognize your tendencies and work on your control. The straight arms give you a reference during practice. They don’t define the only way to putt.

—Daniel Willis, creator of Str8Putt

Practice the skill. Play the game.

Work with Str8Putt, then put it aside.

Roll putts to different targets. Check your starting direction and distance. See what you can repeat without the guide arms.

That’s the purpose of the practice: to build a skill you can use when you play.

On the course, read the green, choose your line and pace, and commit to the putt.

Make time for purposeful practice.

Use Str8Putt at home or on the practice green. Its adjustable design accommodates right- and left-handed golfers, and it folds into the included carrying case.

Give your stroke some focused attention. Then take it to the course.
