If you’re hoping to play better golf in 2022, the green is often the most obvious place to start.
Why? Even in a perfect regulation round, half of your shots are putts, and that number tends to be even higher for less-skilled players. So, it makes sense to focus on that area of your game if you’re looking to make an immediate impact.
Luckily, there are plenty of products out there that are devoted to helping you hone your stroke — and you can even use many of them at home.
Check out nine of our favorite putting training aids below, and while you’re shopping, make sure to click through the rest of the items on offer in GOLF’s Pro Shop. From the latest apparel, shoes and clubs to special-edition releases and more, you can find everything you need for your game, all in one convenient place.

Putting Mirror
$44.99
We have yet to find a good putter who sets up differently each time. Call us old-fashioned, but we believe the setup, stroke, and start line must stay consistent. That’s why we developed the Short Game Gains Putting Mirror. This detailed mirror helps you to check your alignment, confirm that your stroke is on the right path, and help you start every putt on your intended line. Staying consistent is what the best players do- so why not bring that stability into your own putting routine?
The SGG putting mirror also comes with a metal protective storage case.
A few SGG putting mirror features:
eye line alignment
shoulder alignment
swing path
distance from ball
width of stance
ball position
center contact
starting ball on line

Precision Putting Laser
$39.99
Precision Putting Laser
Think of yourself as a Sniper, and your putter is the badass modified rifle that helps you lock on to your target. Our Precision Putting Laser goes on top of your weapon (the putter) and shows you EXACTLY how to perfect your aim, so you can feel more confident pulling that trigger. As we already know, 97% of players suck at aiming (see: Accurate Aim Kit) and if your aim is poor, you’ll have to make adjustments throughout the stroke to get the putter face aimed down the correct line in time for impact. This leads to inconsistencies and missed putts.
The PPL comes with a tripod as well, which allows you to create a sort of “chalk line”- but this chalk line won’t ruin your hardwood floors. Click the Laser onto the tripod, align it with your target, and you have a clear visual of the line you’re trying to hit.
*This laser is designed for indoor use, and is not visible in bright outdoor light*

Start Line String

We all know someone who spends all of their time “practicing”, but never seems to get better. Don’t be that guy. Focusing on the right things is key to dropping strokes on the course. One thing that every good putter on Tour does well, is starting putts on their intended line.

It has multiple functions, allowing you to measure your performance as well as keeping your stroke consistent. Most people aren’t sure how to practice to improve, because they aren’t actually sure what they’re doing wrong. The Start Line String is a perfect way to make sure your practice is effective and efficient.
SGG Putting String features:
•start line •eye line •green reading •swing path •swing length

Accurate Aim Kit
$14.99
If you could see exactly where you were aiming on every putt- how many more putts would drop per round? We’d bet on somewhere around ALOT more. According to data, 97% of golfers do not aim the ball where they intend to, or where they *think* they are aimed.
Where the club face is aligned directly affects where the ball starts… And it’s tough to make putts if you’re not sure where exactly it’s pointing. The Short Game Gains Accurate Aim Kit helps you to aim more accurately by allowing you to add line enhancing symmetrical graphics that work with your eyes to help you more easily align the golf ball.
