SwingPerfect 12 Arc Golf Putter Face Path Track Template.
You have practised putting for a long time and it is still not stable. One putt rolls beautifully, the next misses left by half a cup. So you bought one of those mats with a straight line printed on it, put the ball down and rolled them through. Looked straight. Then on the green, still no holing. The problem was that line. Your putter head cannot travel in a straight line.
When you take your stance the shaft sits at an angle, and the head swings around that tilted axis, tracing an arc on the ground: back inside, square at impact, back inside through the finish. That is geometry, not style. Forcing the head into a straight line trains your wrists, not your putting.
This mat prints the arc instead, 12 degrees, running from one end to the other. Follow that white band with the face for the whole stroke and you are rehearsing what actually happens on a green.
There are two scales as well: inches along one edge, centimetres along the other, so how far you swing back is right there in numbers. Distance control in putting is stroke length, and stroke length used to be a feeling. Now it is a reading.
The three gate slots are 5, 5.5 and 6 centimetres: the wide one builds confidence, the narrow one starts holding you to account, and the ball either goes through or it does not.
Ball positions for both hands are printed on the same mat, with foot position scales on each side.
It is 76 by 21.5 centimetres, 2 millimetres thick, made of rubber, so it lies flat the moment you unroll it, does not curl at the edges and does not slide when the head comes through.
Dew on the grass is fine, a damp cloth cleans it. Roll it into the included bag and it is about the size of a water bottle, 280 grams. Bring your own balls and putter.
Putting is not a straight line. It is an arc you can see.
Wherever you swing back to is where the score lands.
Two millimetres, and the face path is under your feet.
Train the arc, not a straight line: the 12-degree band lays out the head's real path, so following it end to end means the path is right, with no fighting your own body.
Two scales so stroke length is a number: +/-12 inches on one edge, +/-30 centimetres on the other, so where you swing back to is visible and repeatable.
Three gates at 5 / 5.5 / 6 centimetres: wide to build confidence, narrow to test precision, and the ball either passes or it does not.
Either hand, with stance marks: both ball positions printed on one mat and foot position scales that fix your stance, so every session starts from the same place.
Rubber, two millimetres, rolls and goes: unrolls flat without curling, does not slide, resists water and wipes clean; into the bag it is 280 grams and fits a golf bag pocket.
