Which brings us to the only training aid of all of them — a battery. With its cylindrical form and small, compact dimension, it’s the right training aid to make use of to easy out your placing stroke.

As proven within the video above, place the battery on its aspect parallel to your putter and going through the goal. Then all it’s essential do is make your typical placing stroke.

You can inform a lot about your stroke primarily based on the way in which the battery rolls. If it veers off to at least one aspect or the opposite off the face, that your blade shouldn’t be sq. if you make contact.
