AccuPutt™
laser training system impresses retailers, industry leaders, PGA pros at 56th
PGA Merchandise Show
MELBOURNE, Fla. — Golf
industry professionals, retailers and PGA professionals from around the world
seized the opportunity to test the most unique laser putting training system on
the market, the AccuPutt™, at the 56th PGA Merchandise Show Jan.
29-31 in Orlando.
“It was an extremely successful show for us from many standpoints,” said
AccuPutt™ Founder & President Ralph Blanchard. “We certainly gained a lot
of exposure within the industry and it seemed that everyone who tried our
product could instantly see the benefits of our compact, portable training
system.”
The AccuPutt system was invented by Blanchard, an entrepreneur and
inventor with an MBA and a background in commercial aviation and Airport
Administration to improve his inconsistent putting stroke. The AccuPutt™ laser
putting training system strips away the lines, tracks and guides of traditional
putting devices to create a true on-green practice experience guaranteed to
improve your putting.
“AccuPutt will lower your golf score by efficiently and naturally
training your muscle memory to develop and consistently produce a perfect
putting stroke without any artificial or mechanical mechanisms,” said
Blanchard.
The first part of the system shoots an invisible straight line with a
Class-1 laser down the center of a practice green. There’s a hole in the putter
face that the laser must travel perfectly straight through so as not to break
the invisible line.
There’s a green LED on the base of
the unit that appears while the invisible line remains unbroken. However, if
the line is broken, a red LED and an audio unit are activated. These responses
provide immediate, accurate feedback.
As you practice your stroke without breaking the laser line, the muscles
of your shoulders, arms and back are systematically programmed to produce the
kind of precise and consistent accuracy you’ve always wanted.
Through a series of tests, Blanchard developed a low profile putter with
the same feel and weight of a normal putter. The aperture in the putter is
adjustable so that as the golfer’s putting improves, he/she can continue to
challenge themselves until their putting stroke is as pure, consistent and
deadly accurate.
“After practicing with AccuPutt on a consistent basis, you can develop
such a pure stroke that you can putt well with any putter … even with a stick,”
Blanchard said.
While the AccuPutt laser training system promotes a straight back
putting stroke, it also accommodates an arc stroke of six to eight degrees by
opening the aperture wider.
“The rate of improvement is in
correlation with the amount of practice time put in,” said Blanchard, “but
we’ve found that the improvement is usually 33 percent in the first 30 days.”
