I had mine today and I'm not entirely convinced of it.

Here are my doubts:

- The system allegedly measure up to 0.1 angles for loft, alignment, etc. But I guess the equipment fitted to the shaft of the putt to track the putter can't be attached to the club with this level of precision. So what's the point of being so precise?

- I was asked to take 5 putts for each measurement. Isn't the sample too small to have a reliable statistical reading?

My feeling is that I should have rather spent my money on 2 hours of traditional lesson rather than 30 minutes with the putter in my hands and 1:30 hrs looking at a computer screen. I'm sure it is a wonderful tool for pros and single digits handicappers but I think it's wasted on higher hc.

What do you think?

Was it a lesson or a putter fitting?

What was the outcome/results?

The first hour was a putter fitting. The second hour was a lesson.

The loft of my putter was increased slightly and the shaft shortened 1/2". I use a Ping Karsten Anser 2.

Well, even though your putter wasn't altered much, at least now you have the peace of mind that your putter is right for you and just work on your stroke.

No matter how low your handicap gets or your swing changes in the future, most people putt the same way (style) from high 20'2 down to single figures so it should last you a while.
