Why it works & How to use it
You Create the swing...
According to physics, a true "check" on a swing is an object attached to non-resilient medium...like a weight-on-a-string. You need to CREATE centrifugal force in order to move the object on such a device. If you fail to do so, by attempting to employ a different type of force other than centrifugal--like a levering force, the object will not move. It must be SWUNG in order to move!

One of a kind...
The putting stroke, and indeed the golf swing at large are no different. It is essentially, as Bobby Jones asserted, "a weight attached to the hands by an imponderable medium, to which a string is a close approximation." The surest way to get the clubhead moving in the most efficient, effective, consistent, accurate, and powerful manner is to wield it the manner in which one would swing a weight on a string.
The String Theory Putter training aid is the only training device on the market that takes this concept of a perfect "check" on a swing and allows the user to strike a real golf ball in the form of a putt during practice. It is the surest, most effective way of translating that ineffable feel that Bobby Jones talked about into tangible, permanent, results for your putting and golf game.

How to use it
1.Pick a target to a putt inside 10 ft.
2.Set up with your normal grip and stance, except :
a) Stand closer to ball than with normal putter, so shaft hangs pretty much vertical,
b) hover putterhead slightly above ground to ensure this 'hanging'.
3. Use your shoulders to swing the putterhead and strike the ball on line to your intended target (though the upper body power powers the stroke.. the rhythm is transmitted through the hands)
4. Go back to your normal putter and normal setup (now slightly further away from the ball than with the String Theory), and repeat the process.
5. Slowly build up to longer putts
6. Be patient. If it's difficult for you at first, don't worry, with a little practice you will get the hang of it and then your real putter will thank you
FAQ
Share your best answersHow to get the most out of your putter
- Stand naturally with the handle held at a similar angle to that of your normal putter. This will mean that you will be standing closer to the ball when using the String Theory Putter, but just return to your normal stance when using your regular putter.
- Don’t hold the shaft straight down in an unnatural fashion. Allow the shaft to bend at the address to create a comfortable starting position.
- Start with short putts. The String Theory Putter’s primary intended use is for putts within 10 feet.
- With practice, this feel will translate into all putts and gradually into the rest of your game.
- Convenience: The String Theory Putter is fun and easy to use, unlike many complex, cumbersome training aids out on the market. You can easily take The String Theory Putter with you in your golf bag, anywhere you go. You can use it out on the practice green, at home, or in your office.
- This product is intended for putting practice, ONLY. It is NOT intended to be used for exceptionally long putts, longer shots, or full swings. We are not responsible for any injury caused by improper use of the String Theory Putter.
- The String Theory Putter requires the user to make a perfect swinging motion with the putter head. Any errant motion will be immediately detected. For some, it may be difficult to use at first, but like riding a bike, once you’ve got it, you can easily repeat it. Don’t give up!
- The String Theory Putter is designed for the sole purpose of giving the user the key to the golf swing, and that is a rhythmic swinging motion exclusively using centrifugal force. However, it might not necessarily cure all other putting issues, such as alignment and green reading. Though with consistent practice, your speed control WILL dramatically improve.
