::Look at the bottom of the mirror nearest your feet. You should be able to see the tops of both shoulders.
::If you see only your back shoulder, you are open to the target line. If you see only your front shoulder, you are closed to the line

PUTTING TRAINING AIDS- PATH FINDER

Posted by Big G under Buyers Guide, Golf Practice Aids

The Path FinderT is a device that helps you find a consistent stroke path, better ball impact and better alignment. Underneath the device there are magnets that keep the six pins in place. These pins can be individually adjusted to what kind of putter is being used to determine the ideal swing path for that golfer.

Swinging the club between the pins if f the golfer hits one of the pins it makes a clear sound and the pin bends, then immediately rises again. The more the golfer improves, the tighter he can set the pins so that the space between the putter and the pins decreases.

Path FinderT can be attached to a green with a tee and then adjusted towards a hole. The ball is placed in the middle of the Path FinderT and can then be putted towards the hole.

The mirror on the Path FinderT also gives the golfer feedback on their eye alignment and as to whether their eyes are over the ball to target line at address.
