The Founder of the Flight Deck is PGA TOUR Putting Coach and 2011 MAPGA Teacher of the Year, Fran Rhoads.
“The idea for the Flight Deck came from my desire to improve putting impact. The quality of impact directly affects the result of the putt so improving it is crucial. The beauty of the Flight Deck is the simple design and function that provides immediate feel based feedback. I am proud of the “impact” Flight Deck has made to golfers around the world.”
Flight Deck can help your Putter Acceleration Profile
Testing with Top Coaches and Players discovered that the Flight Deck TOUR can improve putter acceleration profiles. When golfers see that the impact blocks will not allow acceleration through impact, they tend to:
Use enough back stroke.
Are smoother in transition.
Create the needed acceleration earlier vs later in the downstroke.
Are closer to a constant speed at impact without uncontrolled acceleration.
These benefits promote better speed control and accuracy since over acceleration at the wrong time (in the impact zone) leads to loss of speed and face angle control. The best putters arrive at impact at a constant speed to minimize risk of unnecessary face rotation and unpredictable speed changes of the putter head through impact.
Perfect Your Putt
The Flight Deck Putting Impact Trainers are designed to improve putting alignment, contact, impact face angle, and overall stroke consistency, making it a valuable tool for golfers looking to enhance their putting performance
It serves as a putting impact trainer, helping to enhance alignment, contact, and impact face angle.
The two impact pads set perpendicular to the target line assist in landing the putter onto the ball, and both impact pads simultaneously provide immediate feedback to develop a consistently solid and square impact position.
This aid also helps with distance control by stopping the follow-through, allowing golfers to focus on backstroke length and distance control.
The Flight Deck Training aids are designed to be lightweight, compact, and easy to store, making it convenient for both on-course and at-home practice.
