Just had the second annual backyard golf match. It went into overtime and I finally won. It’s a good thing because it’s my backyard and my friends were starting to tease me.

It is a great training aid to be able to practice putting in my own backyard.

The Putting Arc sounds a little scary. Wouldn’t you hit the ball off to one side?

In practice putting on an arc is easier and more consistent that the typical straight back straight through putting method. This is because with arc putting there is no tension in the arms and hands - so less chance for the stress of putting to effect you (on long and short puts).

Another benefit of the putting arc style is that it allows the golfer to exert much more power onto the ball with limited motion. This makes long putts much easier and more accurate.
