I'm just not certain how much it helps.Īnd of course, you have to worry about the geometry of the putting stroke. I'm not certain how aligning a putter with a big laser and bright green lines translates to putting without the F4 attached, but I don't think it hurts too much. The line projects forward about two feet, so you then have to pick a spot a foot or so in front of your golf ball and align both the putter and the line to that.
The second thing you have to worry about is whether you've aligned your putter and the F4 to each other. Because your eyeline is likely nowhere near the shaft, the line on the ball itself will appear curved. First, this image again:įirst, of course, the F4 is not going to help you check your alignment against a line you might draw on the top of your ball. Now… as for the usefulness… please be aware that you have to consider two things. Alignment is easy and straightforward, and you can generally get the laser to be positioned near the center of your clubface, even if it requires a little fiddling with the alignment and positioning of the F4 unit and holster. They're bright enough to be seen on a very sunny day outside, and indoors or in overcast conditions, they really pop. This not only saves battery, it likely saves accidentally flashing someone in the eyes with the green lasers. The top has a rounded square button that acts as an alignment aid and the on/off button.Ī nice feature is that once the F4 is raised above a certain angle, it will shut the laser off. Most putter shafts will accommodate this, and you can twist the F4 within the holster to align it appropriately. The Laser Cross does exactly what the name implies: it projects a bright green laser cross downward. Here you can see it attached just below the shaft label on my Edel EAS putter.
A little thumb screw or even some foam or padding may have been nice to accommodate differently sized shafts, but in practice, it fits at a good height on most putters we tried (though some belly putters or long putters didn't work very well with their thicker shafts). The F4 Laser Cross Putting Aid clips on to your putter and is somewhat limited in the position at which it can be fixed, as the shaft has to be the right thickness to catch the guide with enough friction to stay in place. The laser charges via micro USB and the cable is included. The unit comes with a clip and a laser unit that can be twisted and/or removed (for charging).
The packaging, build quality, and solidness of the unit is good. I've had the chance to check one out and I've enjoyed using it, though I think the actual practical use is somewhat limited. This is the F4 Laser Cross putting aid available at Golf Store Outlet. Many of you have seen something like this: And, many of them are putting training aids. Thank you and please don't flame me for asking such a question here.Īs you all know, training aids abound in golf. To me it doesn't sound too bad, after all it's made by Dunlop and the bag doesn't look bad to me either? The set is available with steel shafts as well. But I'm quite aware as well that the cheaper sets you get on ebay are scrap across the board. I'm a student and yet do not have the financial power to go for a set of Callaway, Taylor Made or other famous brands. The Dunlop Company has been taken over by the British Sports World International and currently offers the following deals directly from the manufacturer: Google is of no help and the Dunlop website is currently under reconstruction: I just came across the following club set deal and would like to know if anybody could comment on that set of clubs as I cannot find any information on the Internet. I started to play golf in early September and played myself down to 45 by October with rented clubs when the season here in the Alps ended.
