NO
EXCUSES. JUST THE STROKE!
In a recent independent evaluation,
75% of golfers
said a Boomerang Putting
Professional helped improve their distance control.
Of course, it goes without saying that being
able to consistently hit a six inch target
from 12ft away requires pretty impressive
line control for a start.

Boomerang is absolutely awesome. It forces you to really, really
work on line and speed to the point that you have to be exact
on both. It can be really frustrating during practice though,
but I've found the tradeoff of less frustration when it matters
to be worth it. Just make sure you practice different distances
and whatnot. And as you don't have to spend time shagging balls,
you easily knock 3 times as many putts as you otherwise would
if just knocking balls to a target in a given time. As for green
reading, I've found that to be much easier to do when you know
that the ball will go where you want it. So get the Boomerang,
use it, and the rest will take care of itself.

I
love the thing for just being able to pound out putt after
putt. It is hard to stop the ball in the cup, but I'm getting
decent at it. The main thing I'm concerned with putting at
home is a good stroke and straight putt. This is great for
practicing that considering the mat and ramp is only about
6 inches wide. The ball pretty much always gets returned within
reach and you can easily hit 100 putts in a short session.
With the speed of the mat and angle of the ramp, you're practicing
very long putts with only about 8-9 feet of distance, however
I've found that it doesn't mess up my distance control. I
was at the practice green yesterday and was able to dial in
the distance very quickly after two straight weeks on the
boomerang.

This is a very clever device. Not much to it, but there
doesn't have to be. It is much more challenging than
any other device I have used, and more reliable in getting
the ball back to you for the next shot than most. I
like the fact that it has no cord or batteries, and
it is clear this will grove your stroke more conveniently
than most anything else.

... maybe read Tiger's book on putting (straight back and
straight through is the Harmon way Tiger uses) and get yourself
a boomerang. This contraption has helped everyone I know.
Good putters get better and poor putters get decent... this
thing reduced my putts per round significantly.

I received my Boomerang Putting System in the mail last Friday.
I've been using it for about thirty minutes a day and I've
got to say I'm incredibly impressed with it. I've seen some
brief reviews of the Boomerang and I wasn't horribly impressed.
It seemed so simple, just lag the first putt in, and strike
it out with the second. I was really wrong. The Boomerang
is marked by simplicity in design, but extreme difficulty
in execution. Let me explain...

I've made more 8-10 footers this year than ever before. When
I first started using it (the Boomerang putting system), I
had trouble hitting 3 or 4 in a row that stayed on the ramp.
I can make several hundred putts now and control how far into
the white disk the ball rolls before it either sticks or comes
back.

The Boomerang putting aid has helped me smooth out my stroke
and switch to a center shafted face balanced putter which
has had the following effects: Less 3 putts. Better distance
control on downhill putts. Sinking more putts from 4 - 8 feet.
Anything inside of 3 feet is in. I'm happier with my putting
so far this year as my main goal was to improve my putting
and putting stats. :-)

Likes: So simple and so effective. There's
nothing like a Boomerang. If you want to turn your putting
from a liability to a strength there's only one answer. Buy
a Boomerang it's so addictive you can's stop practicing.
Very
few moving pieces... Quality: Can't really hurt it. Summary:
Without a doubt the best $40 you can spend on your game.

Practicing with the Boomerang really makes you want to challenge
yourself. I have found it to provide a truly addictive putting
experience. It reminds me of when we were juniors practicing
so hard and not coming in from the putting green until we
had sunk twenty putts in a row from different lengths. The
Boomerang provides this type of enjoyment and I believe this
alone makes it a worth while investment for any standard of
player.
The
Boomerang is the only putting device that I have used that
offers a true representation of how the ball behaves around
the cup. Be sure that if you do not get the pace right and
your putt is not dead centre then it will lip out with the
boomerang. It is this type of realistic feedback that makes
the Boomerang so addictive. You feel that you can beat the
Boom so you just keep on trying, and once you feel that you
have mastered it you can reduce the cup depth, which will
increase the level of difficulty again.

I picked up a Boomerang putting trainer as I was recovering
from a broken knee/leg and only recently started being able
to stand long enough to use it. I don't get too many catch
and releases, though I can from about 3 feet only. But, I
watched the DVD twice and I go to the putting green at a nearby
course once a week (I don't get to swing a club for 2 more
months).
Alex's
system is working miracles for me. Just the technique that
he talks about in the video, matching the head to the ball
and making sure they both arrive at the hole at the same time
(basically, just a tip to keep you accelerating through the
ball). From about 10 feet on a real green I am rolling in
an average of 3/4 balls (so much so that people were starting
to look at me, because of the noise of all the balls going
into the hole).

This unit is the most unique, easy and
best feedback system that I have ever used. What this unit
tells you are numerous flaws and habits that you have acquired
over your golfing career. We ask ourselves many times how
do I lower my handicap and the first thing that comes up is
IF I COULD ONLY PUTT. Reading the greens is an art in itself,
but rolling the ball straight off the putter is where it starts.
Some have an inside out stroke and some have an outside in
stroke. Both will cause the ball to spin in an unwanted path.
If you learn to stoke the ball straight it will go straight.
Instant feedback is at your view with this training device.
It also helps you to control speeds and lengths of putts.
This is a must for any one interested in shaving a couple
of stroke of their handicap. Dislikes: NONE. Quality: Excellent

The Boomerang has improved my putting so much! I am reading

Well it's been a few months since I've had my Boomerang Putting
Aid and let me tell you...this sucker is addicting! In a good
way! It's
a rather simple contraption consisting of an artificial turf
mat...what the Boomerang folks call "Carnoustie"
which rolls at about a 11-12 on the stimpmeter and a plastic
ramp. The ramp has a "cup" which can be adjusted
in depth depending on how good you get with the Boomerang.
The ramp angle itself can be adjusted to give the feel of
different length of putts.
The
"object" if you can call it that is to putt a ball
into the cup area without having it roll out. Then with a
second ball you knock the first ball out. Let me tell you....sounds
easy but it's not. This mat drove me nuts. It was like playing
computer mini golf. It drives you nuts and is totally addicting.
My
initial impressions upon using the Boomerang was that it was
just awful. I couldn't get a ball to stay in the cup and if
I did, I couldn't' knock it out. I wrote emails to my buddy
Beruo about how awful it was and that I probably got a defective
one. I told him I hated it but at the same time I couldn't
stop practicing on it. Actually the Boomerang was working
perfectly. It was providing me immediate feedback. It was
telling me how bad my stroke had deteriorated and that with
work and practice, things could be much better for me. More...

First off, I have not yet played a round because of a miserable
thing in the Midwest called winter, so this is not a real
valid review........but...........I have to tell you this
thing is the real deal.
At first I didn't really see why it could be of any real value...then..after
realizing, as long as your surface is perfectly flat, if you
miss...it's the stroke you put on it. No excuses. No bumps,
no spike marks, no break. Just the stroke. I have two putters
I have been going back and forth in my mind on what to use
this season and the Boomerang has all but decided this for
me.
I cannot wait to get out on the course and see what it has
done for me. Right now, I am so confident in my stroke and
pace I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.
If any of you have a serious problem with putting, I recommend
the Boomerang in a heartbeat. I will post more after a round
or two. BTW, Alex is a first class dude.

I agree with the above posters that the Boomerang has made
me so clutch with lag putts its ridiculous. Even though the
greens I play on are much slower than the green the Boomerang
comes with, it has given me such feel for my putter and my
stroke that my speed control is amazing no matter what green
I play on.

I've been practicing about a 1/2 hour a night for the last
2 weeks and played yesterday. I had 6 one putt greens and
a total of 31 putts for the round - which for me is a great
improvement. Now when I sit over a 4'-6' putt I know what
to do. My confidence on the green is amazing. Buy this - use
this - benefit from this. It can only help.

I think the boomerang makes you come up with a putting stroke
that gives almost perfect distance control, so after working
the boomerang for a couple of weeks now, I opened up The Dave
Pelz Putting Bible after sitting on my bookshelf for a few
of years. He writes about:
1.
Stroking v. hitting
2. Straight back straight through v. swinging door
3. Extension of the follow through is the best way to control
the putt
4. Lagging is the key to eliminate 3 putts
5. Most telling of of all - distance control is 4 times more
important than the line
Funny - this is all what the boomerang is all about.
Getting
hung up on boomerang games is a way to market the product,
but to some extent help to learn a stroke that will give you
control over distance. I have found that after working with
the boomerang that I was able to translate it nicely on the
course yesterday (3/13). I didn't even think about 6 - 8 footers
just stoked the ball and watched the majority of them drop
in. Lag putts were mostly inside of 2 feet...

Well, here's my observations after having
it a little while:
1.
I watch the path of the ball - if it's starts slightly outside
and then turns to the cup, I know that I've come slightly
from inside-out in path.
2. It's also easier for me to see if I'm moving my hands in
the stroke or moving my shoulders. I've found the background
of the mat allows me to see these errors.
3. I can also see if I'm loose with my wrists by watching
the reaction of the ball.
4. I use the Boomerang in conjunction with the Putting Arc
- which also helps point out errors.
5. It's a nice little game, too.
Those
are just a few examples. You could do the same with other
mats. But I've been able to see more miscues with the Boomerang
than others. I also like the way the ball comes right back
at me. It also gives one a little challenge with the game
so I stay with it a bit longer.Good
luck with your putting.

I received my Boomerang putting trainer yesterday, having
won it in the Best Putters thread. I am a good putter for
1 simple reason: I practice my putting a lot, probably 2 hours
every week during the season on a real green. Now, during
the winter I hardly practice at all. I have all of the putting
Gizmos, but rarely able to work at it for more than 10 minutes
due to boredom or chasing balls all over the house.
Okay,
I am very impressed with the Boom's ability to feedback the
correct speed. Trap it, you know it is a good putt. That being
said, after 1 day of using it, I can pretty well tell if the
ball is going to trap as soon as I hit it. You know if it
is a good putt or not naturally. Due to the alignment with
the mat, you can check your stroke, alignment etc. so it is
very useful for working on set up while hitting balls.
Personally, I am not viewing my Boomerang as a competitive
device, I am viewing it as a tool to groove a good stroke.
This product provides that very well, while keeping you entertained
(Okay, it is as addictive as anything. I need a Boom 12 step
program.) By keeping me interested, it will increase the time
I spend working on my putting, and will help me drive down
my Handicap. Anyone who views putting as less than a strength
should derive a significant benefit from this device. Use
it for what it is intended for and you will be more than satisfied
with the product. Now, I need to find a way to hit full wedges
in my kitchen during the winter...

"You

|
|
_____________________________________________________________

The Boom is a fine device - especially
for the price. It's small, somewhat portable and easy to setup
just about anywhere in your home of office. If it's on a level
surface, you can easily tell if you are hitting the ball straight
or not which is feedback you cannot get on the putting green.
As
far as causing you to misjudge distances because of the ramp,
even Pelz recommends putting occasionally on the fairway,
rough and even the cart path to help develop feel. A single
green can have different speeds as well as degrees of up and
down depending on the direction you're hitting. I don't agree
that the Boom will have an adverse effect on judging distances.
A key to consistent putting is to be able to adjust your putting
to what surface you're currently playing on, not to build
one fixed stroke for one surface. You can certainly add some
of Pelz's tools to the Boom for help in more specific areas.

I wanted to let you know that I received the boomerang a couple
of weeks ago. It's addicting and I try to spend a few minutes
everyday with it. Haven't put the mats end to end yet. Want
to get more proficient with just the one. Though I do find that
shorter putts are as equally difficult as longer ones - tend
to always come up short. But I've tried your putting technique
of chasing the ball with the putter head after contact. This
has got to be the best method for successful putting. In just
a couple of weeks, my lag putting and confidence has improved
dramatically. I was focusing too much on the backswing. Definitely
an "aha" moment. So far, you're the only person I've
come across that promotes this method. Reinforces my opinion
that most instructors don't know that much, just regurgitate
what they've been told. The classic "I can teach you mechanics
but not feel" - your method teaches feel, very simple and
innovative. And I'll chalk up the fuzzy slippers to oz humor.
Thanks!

Of all the putting trainers, aids, devices, etc. on the market
this is the best! I have had my boomerang for about six months
now and can now drop 75% of my puts from 15 feet and 3 putting
is very rare. I can line em up and judge the speed a lot better
now. If you get tired of putting at one angle adjusted it
and it's like putting from a different distance.
The
price might seem high but once you start dropping putts from
all over the place it is well worth it. Don't buy another
expensive putter do yourself a big favor and buy the BOOMERANG
- it's one of the best putting aids, if not the best putting
aid out there! A GREAT PRODUCT!!!

I received the Boomerang on saturday and used it for about
an hour on and off that afternoon. I played yesterday (75)
and produced the best putting round in a while with only 29
putts! Most importantly I made a couple of long bombs for
birdie and par's while missing only once from inside 6 feet!
I seriously didn't expect this much improvement this quickly,
but after watching the video on Saturday I quickly saw that
I was a) not maintaining an accelerating stroke and long follow
through b) holding my putter blade just ever so slightly off
square at impact c) having my hands lagging or just even with
the putter head (minimal/no forward press).
I was able to work on correcting these flaws and the results,
as they say, speak for themselves. While I average approximately
1.85 putts per greens in regulation (and am a 2 handicap),
I can hardly wait to see how much I improve after a couple
of months of work with your product.
If
I can get my average down to 1.6 or less I would be very,
very well pleased!!! I especially like being able to closely
align the speed of the Boomerang to the greens I play on.
This was a tremendous aide in preparation and helped me quickly
adjust to the pace once at the course. Anyway, thanks for
all and after sunday I think I may have some more customers
for you. I just haven't made up my mind whether to tell anyone
or not...just kidding.

My biggest tendency was to pull short putts, the Brang has
helped that I'm sure. I three putted a rinky dink par 3 yesterday
for the first time in a while, as soon as I made contact with
the ball I felt it. The Brang makes my pulls and decelerations
very obvious. My long putts improved also, I'm putting a very
good roll on the ball now and they are tracking much better.
I step up to long putts now with the thought of it's going
in, as opposed to just get it close. I have also gone to the
claw grip too, which took all the
hit out of my stroke.

I was just wondering if anyone is still rocking the boomerang?
I live up here in the great NE Ohio, and it is pretty cold.
I recently decided to get it back out, and realized why I
hated that thing. Can't get the ball to stop in that little
cup. Even though, I can't do it very well, I really think
it helped last winter when I wasn't able to putt outside.
The most consistent thing about my game last year was my putting,
and the only thing I did different was putt on the boomerang
all winter. *DISCLAIMER* I don't work for Boomerang and this
is in no way an advertisement. Just curious if people still
use it.

Still using mine - leave it set up so I can hit a few putts
when I have a few minutes to spare. It's definitely a useful
tool if used correctly, but you're not going to improve your
putting just because you use a Boomerang - I feel that I'm
putting better because I've had a few things to work on while
I'm using the Boomerang.

... I remember walking up to putts on the course, setting
up, and seeing that same narrow strip down the intended line.
Aside from getting some feel for my putter, the Boomerang
was really good for keeping my putts on line. Of course it
doesn't make up for my bad reads, but I think it limited my
3 putts.
