FAQ

Do I use both of the metal pieces at the same time? I don’t get it.

Nope. There are two different sizes for different levels of difficulty. L = Large (the easier of the two) and S = Small (the more difficult of the two). Pick the one that you want to work with and place it in the dead center of your putter’s club face and focus on center contact.

Those little adhesive discs… where do I get more?

You can buy some some extras right here (coming soon), or just use some good old fashioned grip tape.

Hey, the adhesive on the back of my Truth isn’t sticky any more, what gives?!

That’s why we included some extra adhesive discs with your purchase. Just peel the old one off, and slap a new one on. Simple as that. If you’ve run out of adhesive discs, you can buy more here (coming soon), or just head to your local club fitter and ask if you can have some grip tape.

Ok, ok. Why can’t I get this set up correctly?

It may seem funky at first… we get it. But, check out this video, and we’ll get you dialed in.

Any suggestions for ball positions when I’m using the PPTS?

Definitely! Check out this video where our delightful friend, Lauren, talks about some pretty basic ball positions for various clubs.

Also, there are loads of resources out there that have great information on ball position basics… here are a few:

I’m having trouble getting the crosspiece onto my alignment stick… it’s too loose/tight. Help!

Our kit was designed to fit standard 5/16” alignment sticks. If your sticks are too big or small, you may need to get some new sticks to work with the kit. We have some here, if you want to make certain the ones you purchase will work.

This all seems cool… but I always set up a bit closed/open to the target line… why would this help me?

We get it… not everyone sets up perfectly square to their target line. But, practicing with the PPTS will give you the ability to have a known constant when it comes to your stance. Even if you, say, drop your back foot back 2″ from a square toe line, you’ll know that’s exactly what you’re doing when you practice. This is important for consistency.

I only like to mark part of my ball… why should I even want to mark the whole thing?

We get it… everyone has their preferences. The reason we like to mark the entire ball is for two big reasons: 1. If you hit a shot directly on the line, it often smears it or messes up the perfect mark you put on it. When you have an entire ball’s worth of line, you can just rotate the ball a bit and still have a nice big, pure line to putt with. And, 2. It’s nice to be able to get feedback on where the line on your ball is pointing when you stand behind that ball, and having a line that goes all the way around does that.

How do I use this thing? Where does the ball go?

Just open up the clam and put that fresh golf ball in there. Close it, give it a little squeeze, and then hold the open end together with one hand while you mark the ball with the other. Here’s a video to give you an idea just how to do it.

Wait. Which way do I point the lines?

Think of that wedge/triangle of lines as on an arrowhead; point them toward the hole so that the end where they converge is closer to the hole. Then get your read, look at the marker and decide which line best corresponds with your read, and place the ball on the ground accordingly. Sadly, the marker can’t read the putt for you… so that part is up to you. Go get ’em, Champ.
