So I watched this 21 min video and understand the confidence part but.....what IS the program? Seemed more like an infomercial, now I gotta buy into the program?

Sorry. At least I know who is in charge of the search police. OR, you could have actually posted the thread in question and then reminded me of the search nicely. I guess the testosterone got in the way.
not to be douchey or testosterone-y, but you have started 27 threads in a month. I've started 22 in 4 years.
I think a lot of us want to be heroes and bang those 30 footers all day long. IMO, it's counterproductive to practice long putts for more than a few throws per session. The bulk of our practice putts should be from 20 feet and under. I've seen my putting improve greatly because I put in the time to make 10, 12, 14 footers automatic. This kind of ties in to what Mark Ellis teaches. Make putts. Like he says, it doesn't matter if it's 5 feet. Make those short putts and gain confidence.
Of course you need to at least practice some longer putts, but really pound the short ones. Plus you're closer to the
basket so you can get more reps in. Maybe try it out and see if it helps.
Telling people to do a search tells others that new ideas are not needed OR wanted because everything has been said already.
Here is my log of the complete program. I did it a month or so ago then another member started and just finished also. Great program and really improved my putting. It is not an end all but it really does make a difference.
You don't have to buy anything but it is a discraft guy and of course he will promote it. I use wizards so that is what i used. I really don't think it matters what you use it is just about raising your confidence more than anything else.
All I need is a basket within 20 miles! I know what I'm asking for for Christmas!
Don't practice without PropPutt
In the meantime, something as simple as a broomstick or a piece of tape on a wall in the sweet spot will suffice. Being able to hit those will make the baskets on the course look like the Grand Canyon! :thmbup:
Last year I started keeping track of my putting practice sessions. I would keep notes on how many times I hit metal(cage & above,no pole) or made the putt(flushed it) and then figure out my percentages in an effort to track my improvement over time. It was very time consuming so I had a guy write an app to keep track of it for me. At first it was going to be for me and a few friends but I got carried away with it and figure we would publish it. I now have 1000's of putts over different terrains and conditions I can look back at and see what I did to improve over time. It has been a great tool to help improve my putting skills.
Just trying to do my part to help grow the sport.
