| BoomGolf Boomerang Mat |
Adjustable ramp that "catches" 1st ball and waits for you to dislodge it with 2nd putt. From the maker Nov 2005: Hi Geoff Love
your site. Could you please bring your listing for the
Boomerang up to date? You've got it listed under putting
mats at the moment and while the Boomerang Tour model
does come with a putting mat, it does so much more.
Firstly it's a putting aid for anyone that wants to
master line and distance control. Secondly it's an addictive
matchplay game and thirdly it's a 500 putt/hour ball
returner so to just call the Boomerang a putting mat
doesn't do it justice. Kind regards, Alex Moore BoomGolf.com
PS We will be launching the Boomerang Mini |

|
| The Trueplane Trainer |
Based on the notion that a very good pendulum stroke has the shoulders moving in an inclined plane and the putterhead path straight-back and straight-through inside that inclined plane, but the path describes an elliptical arc as seen from directly above - same math as the Putting Arc but uses a tilted sheet of plexiglass along the puttline with a "smiley face" section of the inclined putt path on the tilted sheet. Run the heel of the putter along the red curve on the tilted plexiglass. By Dr Roger Brooks Address Trueplane Golf Tel: +44 (0)1524 752482 |
