PALM COAST, Fla. (May 3, 2010) – ‘O’ BEAM (www.obeamputt.com), maker of a laser-based putting training aid, is now in use by Renee Powell, PGA/LPGA, head golf professional at Clearview Golf Club in East Canton, Ohio. Powell has incorporated ‘O’ BEAM into her instructional programs in order to assist students with head and eye positioning during putting.
“We are proud that an experienced instructor such as Renee Powell finds ‘O’ BEAM valuable as a teaching aid,” said Katie O’Keefe, founder, president and CEO of ‘O’ BEAM. “We are confident that students of every playing ability will benefit from the consistency that ‘O’ BEAM brings to the putting stroke.”
‘O’ BEAM was created in 2008 by O’Keefe, Director of Instruction for Hampton Golf, when she observed that many of her students were experiencing improper setup and excess head movement while putting, preventing them from establishing the foundation for an effective putting stroke. The ‘O’ BEAM allows a player to practice proper setup and reduced head movement, leading to improved putting results.
Powell, a former LPGA Tour player, said, “One of the biggest putting problems for individuals, especially new golfers, is unnecessary head movement. Any amount of head movement can affect the direction and distance negatively. The ‘O’ BEAM gives immediate feedback and allows a correction to be made right away.”
To practice putting, a player places the ‘O’ BEAM device on the visor portion of his hat. With the power switch in the ON position, the ‘O’ BEAM shoots a laser beam – in the shape of an ‘O’ – that the player positions on the ball. When the player addresses the ball, ‘O’BEAM’s laser allows for the correction of any head movement in order to achieve a smoother and more consistent putting stroke.
