PurePutt Helps Golfers Identify Flaws with Putting Strokes

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) October 31, 2010

Matt Flenniken, who has been the PGA of American Club Fitter of the Year three times in the past 25 years and national teaching pro of the year in 2007, found that the PurePutt helps him with fitting the proper putter as well as a great training aid for golfers to improve 40% of their game.

The PurePutt training aid from Dazz Concepts is living up to its promise of providing teachers and golfers instant feedback to help identify flaws in putting strokes.

Matt Flenniken, one of the nation’s top club fitters who is Director of Instruction at the Los Lagos Golf Club in San Jose, CA, has added the PurePutt to his arsenal of club fitting and teaching aids. “It’s a fantastic training aid for teachers, yet isn’t too complicated even for beginners,” he said.

The PurePutt uses gyroscopes to measure the rotation of the putter, providing instant feedback about whether the face of the putter is open, closed or square at impact. It is simple to use. Just clip it on the putter below the grip, set the playing level (beginner, advanced or professional), push the start button, align the putter at the target and make the stroke.

Flenniken, who has been the PGA of American Club Fitter of the Year three times in the past 25 years and national teaching pro of the year in 2007, found that the PurePutt helped him to convince one recent student about a serious alignment problem.

Flenniken has also found that the PurePutt can help him determine if he has to fit a player with a different putter. “If he cannot line up to the target, then I fit him with a new putter,” he said.

After using it to help a student, one of the first questions is how he can get one. “I just reach in a drawer of my desk and hand him one,” Flenniken said. “They’re simple to operate, provides great feedback and would make a great stocking stuffer.”

Dazz Concepts develops PurePutt – the next generation putting training aid

Dazz Concepts has released the PurePuttTM precision putting device. PurePuttTM is the next generation warm-up and training device designed to help golfers comprehend and greatly improve the flaws in the putting stroke, tempo of the putt and the line to the hole. PurePuttTM supports the proper putter angle for both putter swing styles – arced and straight.  The device also supports reading the greens.  The great thing about PurePutt is the ease of use and the feedback is in real-time so that the golfer can immediately see what’s happening during practice. See the video for an overview of PurePuttTM

Latest in golfing equipment technology

The PurePuttTM product is based on the patent pending 3D DazzCoreTM platform from Dazz Concepts, LLC.  This break-through technology includes the integration of a computer, 6-axis motion detection, and 3D awareness in a portable device. The DazzCoreTM acquires in real-time critical information on the tempo and rotation of the putt stroke and provides immediate feedback.

PurePutt package designed for golf shops

The PurePuttTM product is very light weight so that it does not impede the putting practice and is powered by a single AAA sized battery.  The battery life is expected to last over 3 months of normal usage.  The package has been designed  for golf shops to be able to easily demonstrate the product without taking the device out of the package.

PurePutt helps with four basic putting elements

The four basic elements players must master for putting are:

  1. Reading the putt – pick a target to aim at
  2. Aim the putter face and body – setup and aim straight at the target
  3. Roll the rock – putt straight away from the putter face
  4. Control the distance – putt with good touch

Putting practice ought to be geared to one or more of these fundamentals. That is, you need to know why you are practicing in a certain way, and what you are supposed to be learning from that specific practice, so you can see improvement in one of these four areas when you play. The key issue is how do you know if you are training properly?  Is your lower body moving?  Is your tempo erratic? Practice can reinforce both the good and the bad.

PurePuttTM is designed to provide real-time feedback to the player during practice.  The flaws in the putting motion will immediately be identified allowing focus in the areas that will have the biggest gains in your game.   What you will come to appreciate after using PurePuttTM is that every single putt is the same — the same process of selecting a target, the same aiming and setup process, and the same stroke with the same tempo.

Reading the greens

The Dazz engineering team has added a new function of reading the slope of the greens.  The unit will now display the slope and provide feedback using the LED display lights.  This feature add another major improvement to the training and warm-up capabilities for the player’s putting.

Simply remove the putter clip and lay PurePuttTM on the green.
