Visitors to the NEC Golf Show holed a staggering 21,183 putts over three days at the CentreCup stand, as the new training aid was demonstrated to the public for the first time.

With two CentreCup putting aids running in tandem on the stand and on the portable putting green, at one point golfers were queueing for more than an hour to get a go on the new ‘putting machines’.

CentreCup team members used mechanical tally counters to log how many putts were holed by visitors - which included Tour pro golfers Alison Nicholas, Felicity Johnson and Carl Watts.

CentreCup inventor, PGA Pro Ian Melville, said: “We were clicking like mad. Bearing in mind that each CentreCup was specifically adjusted to custom-fit each visitor, which takes a little bit of time, we would probably have broken the 30,000 putts barrier.”

CentreCup works by locking the putter in a brace which stops hands and wrists from breaking. A unique chest brace and slide bar design also stops the golfer’s shoulders from twisting, so the putter face is always delivered square to the ball and target line.

This PILS (pure in line square) stroke is recommended by none other than Dave Peltz, one of the greatest golf short game instructors in the world.

By making sure your eyes, shoulders, forearms, hips, knees & feet are all aligned - and keeping the putter square to the aimline throughout the stroke - CentreCup guarantees a straight-back-and-through path.

CentreCup eliminates all of the problems that cause poor putting and uses unique and patented technology to promote only good putting technique.

CentreCup has been developed to enable golfers of all abilities to discover how to make a repeatable, rhythmical putting & chipping stroke.

• Develops muscle memory for a perfect pendulum putting stroke
• Encourages smooth rhythm
• Eliminates off-plane shoulder twisting
• Eradicates wrist break - the putter is locked in
• Putter face is always square to the ball
• Promotes straight back and straight through action
• Keeps lateral sway to a minimum
• Guarantees release through impact
• Starts and keep putts on line
• Ball rolls without skid or hop
• Develops confidence and feel

CentreCup will be available online at CentreCup.com in January.
