About The Sponsors
AccuPutt
AccuPutt is designed to perfect your putting stroke without the aid of visible lines, tracks or guides. The patent-pending combination of the special adjustable aperture putter and a portable, low-profile practice green with an invisible laser allows you to replicate the on-green experience while you train so your stroke is pure, consistent and perfectly accurate.
George Vinyard Golf
The StrokeBalanced Blade by George Vinyard Golf uses a patented RearMount design developed by master craftsman and Wilson Golf’s veteran club designer, Jim Shenoha. While other putters simply redistribute weight to counteract the negative effects of an off-center hit, the Shenoha RearMount creates a squaring effect with zero face rotation.
Swing Dynamics, Inc.
Swing Dynamics, Inc. creators of the putting monitor and the Weight Right Force Plate, is now launching the Putt Right Putting Monitor. In addition to offering patented technology to assist in fitting and instruction, Swing Dynamics has created the Fitting Professional Program, adding state-of-the-art components to its technology products.
The Putting Game
Offering numerous games and putting challenges, The Putting Game is designed to be used indoors on a carpeted floor. It is different because it uses a “virtual cup” (not a physical cup); and provides instant visual feedback on putting speed and putt direction.
