The Putting Arc

"The Putting Arc helped me set the PGA Tour scoring record, and it can help you sink more putts.  Tour pros agree it is the best putting training device ever made for building a repeatable and accurate inside-square-inside stroke.  Get a Putting Arc... and set your own scoring records."  -Tommy Armour III. Just a few accolades: Rated by Golf Digest as the #1 Training Device which you can use with your own putter in 2004, and listed in Golf World in December 2005 as one of the professional golfer's "tools of the trade." Known Putting Arc users included 13 of the top 19 on the 2005 PGA Tour final money list! Putting Arc users now hold the all time scoring records on the PGA and European Women's tours. Putting Arc users won $82 Million in official winnings by known Putting Arc users on the four main U.S. tours in 2003. 18 of the top 20 finishers at the 2006 Mercedes Championship were Putting Arc users, as were 5 of the top 7 putters at the 2005 PGA Championship, with "putts per greens in regulation" ratios ranging from 1.659 to 1.733. The Putting Arc works for junior and senior golfers, men and women, right and left handers, high school and college golfers, pros and amateurs of all handicaps, and IT WILL WORK FOR YOU!

These results reinforce the fact that the modern putting stroke of the successful touring pro is the inside-to-inside or arc type stroke. This is the stroke used by 95% of the successful touring pros, and taught by the top putting instructors in the country. However, 95% of the amateurs still try to putt straight back and straight through. With the Putting Arc you too can learn to putt like the pros ACTUALLY putt.

• Its based upon natural body movement which can be quickly learned and repeated. Results can be seen in several days … 20,000 repetitions are not required. 
• The clubhead travels in a perfect circle (radius R) and the projection of this circle on the ground is an ellipse in the shape of the Putting Arc. 
• The putter is always ‘on plane’ (the sweet-spot/spinal pivot plane). The intersection of this plane with the ground is a straight line, the ball/target line. 
• The club face is always square to the above plane. It is only square to the ball target line at the center line of the Putting Arc. You are learning an inside to square to inside putting stroke. 
• In this perfect putting stroke, there is only one moving part. The hands, arms and shoulders rotate as one unit. No manipulation of the hands or arms is required to follow the correct path with a correct clubface. It happens automatically.

This site offers you the opportunity to learn more about The Putting ArcÔ (patented), a revolutionary new training device, which will guide you to a simple, repeatable, and understandable approach to putting. The Putting Arc will assist you in developing a confidence when standing over your putter felt by only a small percentage of golfers, a confidence in your ability to direct the golf ball exactly where you intend. 

What is so new and revolutionary about The Putting Arc? Nothing and much. Nothing about the stroke is new. Almost all of the great putters of the modern era use it. What is new, is the combination of ancient mathematics, a simple and self-explanatory instructional outline, and state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. The mathematics define the perfect putting stroke, the instructional outline explains and trains the perfect putting stroke, and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques create a device which quickly teaches you the perfect putting stroke.

The good news is... most golfers see a marked improvement in their putting strokes in a day or two. You don't have to do it 20,000 times to get better. 

Figure 1	The Putting Arc works because it guides the putter head in pure planar rotation about an axis which passes through the golfers spine, somewhere between the shoulders (the dashed line in fig. 1). This means that the hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders all stay connected throughout the putting stroke. The Putting Arc has radial lines on its top. This important feature shows the correct clubface alignment at each point in the stroke. This alignment is just as important as the clubhead path!
Mathematically speaking the putter head actually moves in a perfect circle. But since the axis of rotation is inclined relative to the putting surface the putter head motion projects onto putting surface as an ellipse. This ellipse (the light colored shape in fig. 2) is the mathematical basis for The Putting Arc.	Figure 2
Figure 3	The actual dimensions of The Putting Arc ellipse are defined by the location of the center of rotation of the putter head. (This point is located on the golfers spine somewhere between the shoulders.) Suprisingly, the dimensions of The Putting Arc ellipse are similar for all average size golfers. There are only a few thousandths of an inch difference in ideal shape of The Putting Arc for a 5'4" golfer and a 6'2" golfer (assuming a typical putting stance).
