The Trueplane Putting Trainer is a pioneering and innovative product that provides a great way to achieve better putting and lower scores. The first version was launched in 2001. It very quickly became extremely popular with tour pros and coaches, and was the first inside-to-inside putting stroke trainer to be widely used on tour. Trueplane is now firmly established as one of the best and most popular training devices on tour, and has been used by more than 200 tour pros for over 150 tour wins including 6 Major Championships.

Trueplane enables you to practice the same stroke and in the same way as many of the world's top players. As the pros have found, using Trueplane can lead to amazing success and a winning game.

How to use Trueplane

To use Trueplane, simply slide the heel of the putter along the guide following the red line. This automatically results in the ideal inside-to-inside and on-plane putter path. The Trueplane guide is at an angle (rather than being vertical) as this is the most natural way to swing the putter. This gives the slightly inside-to-inside stroke used by nearly all tour players. The Trueplane stroke is proven by the use of Trueplane on tour since 2001 by more than 200 tour pros.

Achieving perfect putter alignment

There are two alternative ways to ensure the correct putter alignment.

1. Use the lines on the base ribs. The lines on the base ribs show the correct angle of the putter face at different points in the stroke. Lining up the putter face with the center line makes sure that the putter is always aimed correctly. The other lines show the perfect neutral positions in the backswing and the follow through.

2. Use the guide rod. Clip the guide rod onto the putter shaft and then keep both the guide rod and the heel of the putter in contact with Trueplane during the stroke. This automatically ensures perfect putter alignment throughout the stroke.

Benefits and features

As well as giving the perfect putter path and putter face alignment, Trueplane also promotes a pure strike and roll on the putts. With Trueplane, the putter always returns at impact to the same position as at address and so all putts are hit out of the sweet spot of the putter. The putter also travels along the target line at impact giving a pure roll with no sidespin.

Trueplane also helps rhythm and consistency. A number of tour pros have commented that the sound of the putter sliding along Trueplane provides great feedback on the rhythm of the stroke. Practicing the same stroke all the time improves consistency.

Trueplane can be used indoors or outdoors and the rubber pads on the base give excellent grip on a putting green, carpet or artificial turf. It is a great for regular practice at home.

Trueplane is scientifically-based and a paper on the principles behind Trueplane was presented at the 2002 World Scientific Congress of Golf.
