CentreCup inventor Ian Melville, a teaching professional for more than 15 years, believes most golfers are using a putter that is the wrong length for them.

While a lot of golfers have discovered custom-fitting for irons, precious few have had their ideal putter length assessed and instead simply opt for off-the-shelf models in a standard 35inch variety.

During the testing of CentreCup - the revolutionary new putting and chipping training aid - Ian discovered that around 90% of golfers would improve their putting if they used a shorter model.

He said: “CentreCup uses a fully adjustable putter brace and mirror system to help the golfer line up to putt with their eyes directly over the ball.

“In many cases, golfers could not achieve this using their normal putter. But when we used a shorter putter their alignment and posture was much better. As a result, using CentreCup they were able to produce a perfect inline pendulum putting stroke - with the putter face staying square to the ball and target throughout the stroke.”

CentreCup works by taking the hands, wrists and arms out of the putting stroke and enabling the shoulders to control the stroke. It’s impossible to break your wrists or move your arms independently of your body.

And because shoulders remain square to the target during the stroke, the putter face simply cannot open or close.

CentreCup officially launches in the UK at the NEC Golf Show in November.
