BirdieBall Putting Mats: Living in the Material World

BirdieBall putting mats have been top MyGolfSpy performers ever since we started testing putting mats.

And ever since we started testing putting mats, John Breaker, BirdieBall founder, owner, CEO and Inner Light, has been adamant: If you want true roll on a putting mat, his aerated foam is the way to go.

It’s a message Breaker has shouted from the rooftops since his first aerated foam mat debuted.

“The problem with woven synthetics, carpet, felt or any other manmade textile is they have a pattern,” says Breaker. “When the ball slows down, it follows the pattern.”

And that pattern means you’re getting far less out of all the practice you put in over the winter than you hoped.

Straight Arm Golf Swing SOLUTION !

Over 10 years ago, I developed GOLFSTR+, a golf training aid to remind me to keep my leading arm straight during my backswing. I knew that I had a winner when I started playing a round of golf at Indian Wells Golf Resort in Palm Springs, CA while wearing my GOLFSTR+. After hitting a number of greens in regulation, I removed my training aid and soon lost my magic. Practicing and playing with GOLFSTR+ was a great start for my future golfing success.

I had learned that if I kept my leading arm straight, I could generate more distance, but my limited flexibility was limiting my backswing. In every round while playing without GOLFSTR+, I found that I would start bending my leading arm to increase my backswing to gain more distance. That bent leading arm would eventually destroy the consistency of my hits.

If you have been reading my recent blogs, you will be aware of my testing program to roll my leading arm elbow clockwise so that it faces up my target line during my setup.

BINGO: I now realize that this leading arm muscle roll is creating a strain in my arm that locks my leading arm straight DURING MY BACKSWING.

The #2 use for GOLFSTR+ is ideal for you to use with a clockwise rotated leading elbow during your setup to keep your leading arm straight during your backswing.

This is the miracle that I have been searching for to create consistency in every shot for distance and direction control. I just have to remember to set up with the elbow roll for every shot. I may add a 2 to 3 foot takeaway waggle for my driver but I definitely have to take my time to add a full backswing and a cocked wrist for lag at the top.
