New Putting Arc Makes Sense —

and Really Works!

by BRUCE VITTNER

 

Every so often a new training aid is introduced that really takes hold. One of those is the Putting Arc that was introduced in 2002.

    
 

Says co-inventor and teaching professional V.J. Trolio, “The modern putting stroke of the successful touring pro is the inside-to-inside or arc-type stroke. This is the stroke used by 95 percent of successful touring pros, and taught by the top putting instructors in the country. However, 95 percent of amateurs still try to putt straight back and straight through.” The Putting Arc is essentially a static piece of plastic or wood (depending on the model) that is strategically shaped to guide your putter along the preferred arc. You simply place it on the ground and set up with the heel of your putter against the center of the arc. You then conduct your stroke while keeping the heel flush with the arc and the putter face in line with the evenly spaced alignment marks.”
    
Makes sense and it does work. Over 700 golf professionals have acknowledged working with the Putting Arc. There have been 130 wins recorded by professionals who’ve used the arc in 2007 with official money earnings of $169,935,472 according to the company. Since 2003 pros who’ve used the Putting Arc have won 462 tournaments.
