Straight From Face On Putting

Critically, putting with a face on view is more natural and allows players to simplify their perspectives compared to traditional putting stances. Have you ever lined up your putt from behind the golf ball only to stand over the golf ball and second-guess your read? If yes, then you have experienced the problem that Face On Putting solves. Additionally, golfers viewing their putts from beside the ball can make a stroke similar to throwing a ball under-handed at their target to promote increased accuracy and consistency.

GP Putter Design Review

Importantly, the GP putter from Face On Putting is USGA conforming. First, the putter and shaft are joined at an angle that helps create a straight-back-and-straight-through putting motion. This straight-back-and-straight-through approach helps many players keep the club head more square to their target creating more directional accuracy. Next, the GP putter is made to be only 3 & 1/16 inches wide to enable a perfect pendulum motion as the player makes contact with the golf ball during their putting stroke. Lastly, the GP putter has a fang design that increases the forgiveness of the putter on off center strikes. Overall, the GP putter is crafted with precision to allow players to take advantage of their natural posture and visual feedback system.

GP Putter Performance Review

Initially, the GP putter and Face On Putting approach takes getting used to. Surprisingly, among our testers, lag putting was the most challenging given the difference in the Face On Putting design compared with their gaming putters. Impressively, however, our testers found almost immediate success with short putts using the GP putter. Generally, the GP putter excelled for players that usually struggle with short to medium range putters. Specifically, player found increased confidence and more awareness around the hole when standing beside the golf ball rather than on top of it on putts near the hole.
