G'day Geoff,

Thanks for coming up the other day - I really appreciated it! So far, it has been good- I am hitting a lot more balls on line, although I am still getting used to the putter, the new grip, a new routine- kind of conscious thinking overload, but I will get past it.....

I feel it would be in my best interests to dedicate myself to learning the straight out gaze, and aiming from beside the ball. I am therefore interested in that laser aiming putter you showed me, or one very similiar to the American Putter.Can you direct me to where I can organise one.

Again, thanks for all the help, and I will talk to you soon.

Cheers, Damon

Laser Resources

Dear Damon,

I have a few laser products on my Aids page under Alignment / Aim: http://www.puttingzone.com/aids.html#AA

Here is a Putter Pal ($40) that attaches to your putter shaft and has a beam that adjusts to different distances: http://www.sportstechgroup.com/page2.html This laser makes a point-beam. The Guideline laser makes a line on the ground: http://www.guidelinetech.com/ and can be used with irons and woods also. I am not sure of the price.

The Clayton SD-10 laser has the laser attached as a permanent feature of a putter, retails for $100 and is available to PGA members at a discount, and is recommended for indoors use. The literature says the design encourages a slight forward press to get the beam aimed down enough, whereas other designs I've seen allow adjusting the beam at the outset on an up-down swivel. I don't recommend a forward press. http://www.golflaserputter.com/product_profile.cfm

A swing aid called the Laser Trainer simply spots the way the shaft is pointed, but nit can be used to move the putter shaft in a straight plane back and thru, although it is expensive ($120) and a cheaper shaft-attaching laser does the same thing: http://www.golfaroundtheworld.com/latra.htm

You might prefer this PuttFlection -- a mirror attached just above the face to the shaft / hosel so you can see where the face is aimed, without the problem of the laser beam being too faint to see or having to use a stand-up card behind the target. Just stick a tee in the ground at the target and get the tee into the mirror! Seems like a good idea: http://www.shotsavers.com/products/puttflection.htm

Cheers!
