Training Drills
Dead Perfect Set up: “Without a consistent set up, with your eyes over the aim line, you have no chance of making putts consistently AND no chance of learning a proper stroke”
Dead Aim Perfect Set Up Drill
1. Sole the club correctly with sole flat on the putting surface
2. Keep the club in place and position your eyes over the ball
3. Adjust your head and body to the putter until you see the top and bottom lines line up. (be sure to not manipulate the putter, adjust your body to the putter)
4. Assume a position with your hands so the dots appear in the dead center of the holes.
5. The perpendicular lines are the exact width of the golf ball and serve as “railroad tracks” for your feet, shoulders, and forearms. Align your body to the railroad tracks.
6. Your eyes will be in the perfect position---directly over the aimline!!
7. Let your stroke ride the rails and “listen” for the ball to drop in the hole. Always keep your head still until well after impact. (that may be the most difficult part of this drill)
Now...you can set up like a pro...in the perfect position...with out a caddie or a professional giving you lessons!
Dead Aim Face Alignment “Face alignment is 4 times more important than the path of the stroke.”
Check you aim with the Dead Aim laser
1. Turn on your Dead Aim Laser by reaching in and pressing the recessed button on the rear inside of the laser barrel.
2. Insert the laser in the holes of the putter so the collar of the laser rests snugly on the top plate of the putter.
3. Place a target behind the hole on the green.
4. Using a post-it note or other light adhesive tape (electrical tape works well too) cover the front of the laser; thus covering the laser beam.
5. Take your stance and line up your putt so your club face is square to the hole.
6. Have a collegue reach down, and without moving the club head, remove the post-it, and observe where the laser dot strikes the target.
7. If the laser dot does not strike dead center, take corrective action and repeat the drill until when the post-it is removed the laser dot always strikes the center of the target.
Dead Aim Face Alignment Drill
1. Turn on your Dead Aim Laser by clicking the button.
2. Insert the laser in the holes of the putter so the collar of the laser rests snugly on the top plate of the putter.
3. Place a target behind the hole on the green.
4. The laser will shine over the top of a golf ball and emit a light on your target. Keep the light above the ground at about the exact height as the golf ball to insure that your face angle is correct .
5. Start with 3 foot putts and practice taking dead aim at the center of the hole.
6. You will soon have the precision to aim at precise sections and sides of the cup.
7. As you get comfortable, work your way back to 4, 5, and 6 foot putts.
Studies show that by simply practicing with the Dead Aim Laser 10 minutes a day for ONLY a couple weeks, your eyes become trained to Take Dead Aim. Otherwise,we could not offer our GUARANTEE that you will make 30% more putts inside 10 feet in 30 days!!
Dead Aim Path “Whether you put straight back straight through or open to square, if the laser dot stays on the path, your face is square to the path, and you will develop a pure stroke.”
Dead Aim Path Drill
1. Turn on your Dead Aim Laser and secure it firmly on your Dead Aim Putter.
2. Place a target on the ground behind the hole about 4-5 feet away and shine the laser dot at the target (keep dot ball height above the ground) Note: Do not use a ball for this drill
3. Without using a ball, take a very slow normal stroke.
4. Your goal is to have the laser dot stay on a straight line between your target. (at first the dot will go all over the place) Keep practicing.
5. Repeat very slow strokes until you can keep the dot tracking on the line to hone a pure stroke.
6. You also want to concentrate on the laser dot during the follow through. Keep the dot moving straight up the intended line.
Center Strike Drill
1. Snap the Center Strike Clip firmly into the center hole on top of the putter.
2. Start with a short 3-4’ putt by attempting to hit the ball on the sweet spot between the posts. Any deflected putt off the post indicates a problem with the putter path. (Some golfers do better with a shorter backstoke, some find it requires consistent grip pressure throughout the stroke, and some find they need to be more sraight back and straight through.)
3. Once you can solidly hit a 3-4 foot putt, move back to a 6-7 foot putt and repeat the drill.
4. Be sure to remove your Center Strike Clip by pushing upwards from underneath the top plate with your finger so you can preserve the life of the training aid.
“Practice does not lead to perfection, Perfect Practice Leads to Perfection”
You will find that this drill will teach you how to have a pure stroke. Remember to use your natural ability to do this. TDo not manipulate the club. Just be mindful of a smooth stroke.
