TPM Putting Aid - Any Users?

MMB1500 · July 27, 2015

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the TPM putting aid? Frankly, when you're as bad at putting as I am, you'll try anything and this actually looks interesting. I also see Mike Shannon has also endorsed it, for what that's worth.

Any thoughts or feedback welcome!

So did you buy this gadget? Thinking of trying it myself

I actually bought one a couple weeks ago on Amazon...$99. I like it. It's a little awkward at first hitting puts but it definitely helps you make more of a pendulum stroke. I really like it for making sure my arms are aligned on the same angle...I have a tendency for my left arm (I'm a left) to bend a little more than my right arm.

Thanks for the reply. I think I might give it a go. I really like how it keeps the triangle all in one piece. Can you still flip your wrists with the TPM?

I was ready to try this out but I think the TPM looks like it accomplishes more

I think if you're using the TPM properly, you can't flip your wrists. I'm not sure because flipping isn't an issue for me.

Could you try to flip with it and let me know if it's possible please?

It's impossible for me to flip with it...I just tried. Hope that helps.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread as I didn't realize this discussion was going on - thanks for those who tried!

TPM was actually design to develop the feel of the proper stroke without rolling putts with it, but we have a lot of Tour players who prefer to warm up this way. One thing you can play with is to move the connector up the shaft to create less restriction and more feel of the putter head. This does tighten up the triangle however so depending on your size it may or may not work for you.

Thanks for checking that out!

I hope you gave us a shot! I promise you it will not disappoint.

We will be releasing a new follow up at the PGA Show this year so be on the look out - you can actually see it in our Tour Gallery on our website if you want a sneak peak. It will be a great alternative to products already out there combined into a smaller, lighter, more compact, and more efficient way of practicing.

Thanks for the discussion and I would love to field any questions you may have!

I still love mine! I don't use it as much but mostly to tune up and see if my forearm/shoulder alignment has gotten out of wack or anything.

Yep, once you get used to it it becomes a great reference point to "reset" yourself. I am developing a 1-2-3 type program from the info I have gathered being out on Tour to make it simpler for us amateurs to practice putting more efficiently and correctly. Thanks!
