The last few feet between the ball and the hole can prove to be the most difficult segment of the course. You’d think this would be easy since you are so near but players find this bit extremely tricky. You will need pinpoint accuracy to nail the shot. You must apply just the right force in just the right direction to make this happen. It’s easy to overshoot or to undershoot. It’s easy to veer too much to the left or to the right and miss the mark. So many things need to come together for that perfect shot. Golf mirror putting can help you by providing instant feedback.

Train at Home

There are designs that work great as training aids at home. Use these whenever you are too busy to get to the golf course. Set them up on your backyard by laying the mirror on the ground and placing the alignment gate in front of it. Aim to make the ball pass through the gate as smooth as possible. Beginners should place the gate near the mirror for greater ease. They can gradually increase the distance as they improve their accuracy. Use the mirror to check the angle at which your club’s face is hitting ball.

Putt on the Green

Other golf mirror putting aids are meant to be used on the green. This is great for practice sessions with your friends as you can work on your shots on an actual golf course. You will be able to deal with challenges such as wind, terrain, rain and so on. The grid lines are extremely helpful in ensuring that your shots are squared precisely. Don’t worry about using these aids because you won’t be dependent on them all the time. With every shot, you develop muscle memory such that your body will eventually remember how to hit balls in different scenarios with success.

Watch Your Form

Some mirrors are meant to be in front of you instead of under your club. These usually have a convex shape which means that the center protrudes and while the edges are tapered. This shape helps the user get a wider field of view than a flat mirror. He or she can observe the full swing and identify any mistakes in an snap. The first use can be extremely revealing as you will finally realize what you have been doing wrong for so long.
