PUTTING.. The CYCLOPSE,
by Terry Carter


How many times have you heard to keep your head still or keep your eye on the ball? Did you know that these same rules apply in putting as well? It is very important to keep your head steady and DO NOT watch the club-head as it swings.. This sounds easy but in fact is one of the most common flaws we see in our putting lessons. We use drills such as putt with your eyes closed, or covering your eyes with a blindfold. . But, the best way is to use the Putting Cyclops...

The Cyclops allows you to create the perfect swing arc while not being able to watch the club as it swings. Simply setup with your putter under the flange with the toe of the putter touching the inside wall of the Cyclops, now swing the club along the wall of the Cyclops and develop the feel and sensation of swing the club without watching it.

You can order this online or pick one at the dome while they last.

ALSO: Send this to anyone you think could benefit and call us if you need help.

Good luck and happy golfing!
