Why use a putting mirror
Some of the fundamentals of putting are easy to check using this training aid which you put on the ground underneath the ball. Most important of these are the position of your eyes and the alignment of your shoulders. In order to judge this alignment accurately, make sure you purchase our putting mirror for the ball to target and shoulder alignment.
Checking Eye Position
Opinions on precisely what position to have your eyes are divided. Dealing first of all with how far from your feet to have the ball, Nick Faldo, Luke Donald and putting guru, Dave Pelz all believe that the ball should be directly below your eyes, whereas putter-maker-extraordinaire, Scotty Cameron and Ben Crenshaw advocate a ball position that is slightly outside the eyes (i.e. further away from your feet).
Nobody, however, thinks that the ball ought to be closer to your feet than a line directly below your eyes and you can easily check this with this training aid.
