NO-COMPARISON

With all due respect, most of the putting aids on the market are flawed in one regard or another. For example, training aids such as the Putting Arc, Stan Utley’s Learning curve, Putting Plane System, Hi-Tec putting track, Accu-stroke, Clear track, Arc Glider and many more are not only big and bulky, they force golfers of all sizes, shapes and skill levels to use the same stroke. Over the years as a professional golf instructor, I have taught hundreds of golfers and I have seen dozens of individually unique putting styles. I know that it is physically impractical to expect an eleven year old to have the same stroke as a six foot five man. Throughout history, some of the greatest putters in the world have had very unorthodox putting strokes. The most important thing in putting is to deliver the putter face square to your intended line at impact, with the proper speed. The PRO TOUR CARD replaces an assortment of oversized training aids including the above list as well as the Pin Balls, which do not allow each ball to move on their own independent axis and often results in misleading feedback. Also, with the PRO TOUR CARD, you may use your own golf balls for a more realistic look and feel during the exercise. The PRO TOUR CARD also replaces the Putt Master with Drill # 11.

I am not saying that all of the above training aids are all bad, just bulky, and limited in performance. The PRO TOUR CARD is the only golf training aid in the world that combines all of these benefits and many more, at a fraction of the cost; while easily fitting into your pocket or golf bag. My goal was to create a product which proves that golf training aids don’t have to be expensive to be effective. By developing a golf practice and training aid that is compact, effective and affordable; we are able to help more people play better golf.

Chipping is another area where the lack of proper technique can, and does lead to errant shots, frustrated golfers and inflated scores. So why aren’t there more effective chipping aids? The ones that are out there are also very big and limited in their “all around” effectiveness. Use the PRO TOUR CARD to promote the proper angle of approach when chipping around the green (Drill #5) or practicing full wedge and short iron shots (Drill # 6) that produce green holding spin; all while using the directional arrows and the profile of the card itself, to assist with proper club and feet alignment.

Over the past several years, I have become increasingly concerned with the trendy new golf institutes that promote hooking golfers up to a series of wires, bells and buzzers in an effort to mold everyone’s swing into the perfect “robot-golfer”; never getting to see a divot or their ball fly further than the net in front of them. Like Ben Hogan said, “the answers are in the dirt.” I truly believe that the combination of simplicity, portability, size, cost and effectiveness will make the PRO TOUR CARD the number one golf practice and training aid in the world.
