1. Setting Up To Your Aim line
The Pro-Align provides a visual representation of your aim line while you putt. Why is this important?
Because most putters don't trust their aim line. They think they are aiming on their line when in reality, most
putters line up opened or closed to their line. This will cause the them to try and push or pull their putt back
on line. Sometimes they get lucky and the ball goes in, more than likely it doesn't. With the Alignment Bar
there while you practice, you'll soon learn what a proper setup on your aim line looks and feels like.
2. Ball Position
Setting the ball directly under the Alignment Bar, like in the photo below, will ensure your eyes are directly
over the ball. Most instructors will tell you your eyes should be over the ball. This will give you a better line
while looking down your aim line from the address position. If you don't like having your eyes directly above
the ball, take your address position when practicing and move the ball back and forth until you see equal
halves of the ball on each side of the Alignment Bar (see photo below).
3. Square Putter Face
If you're putter face is not square to your intended aim line, chances are very good that you're not going to
make your putt. Of course, you can get lucky and push or pull your putt back on line. But we are trying to
get your ball rolling on your aim line each and every putt.
Look at how far off line these four different length putts will be if your putter face is opened or closed at
impact 1 degree or 5 degrees; Keep in mind the cup diameter is 4.25 inches or 2.125 inch radius.
Length of Putt 1 degree opened or closed 5 degrees opened or closed
5 feet 1.044 inches 5.244 inches
10 feet 2.124 inches 10.500 inches
15 feet 3.144 inches 15.744 inches
20 feet 4.188 inches 21.00 inches
4. Immediate Feedback on Pushed or Pulled Putts
Do you know why you miss your putts? With the Pro-Align, you will receive immediate feedback on pushed
or pulled putts, or putts hit dead on your aim line. You'll also be able to tell if you misread the break.
As your ball exits the end of the Aim Bar, keep an eye on your ball and watch to see if it goes directly under
the Orange Aim Dot (located on the end of the Aim Bar). If it does, you hit your putt on line. If it went left of
the Orange Aim Dot, you pulled it. If it went right of the Orange Aim Dot, you pushed it. More on this in the
How To Use section.
How does it tell you if you misread the break?
If you stroked your putt and saw the ball roll directly under the Orange Aim Dot, and hit the ball with good
speed, and missed the putt, you know you misread the break. Step back, rotate the Pro-Align again on your
new aim line, and keep practicing.
Remember, it's the quality of your practice, not the number of putts you hit.

WHY IT WORKS
When addressing the ball,
you should see equal
halves of the ball on each
side of the Alignment Bar.

When placing the putter behind the ball, make
sure the face is parallel with the Support Arm
(colored blue in the photo).
