Frequently Asked Questions

The best players “Land” their putter onto the ball at impact. Think of a jet landing (coasting) vs taking off (accelerating). The putter is in better control when coasting vs accelerating into the ball.  This method results in better control of both line and speed. This is why you see most Tour players using a longer back stroke to shorter follow through motion. 

The only difference is the impact pads.  Our original TOUR model has (black) firmer neoprene pads that provides maximum feedback on shorter putts. The firmer pad transfers more vibration.  The Tour Soft has (Blue) Sorbothane pads that absorb more of the impact vibration and  have a unique sticky texture to hold your putter in place at impact.  The soft pads provide contact position and face angle feedback.  Soft pads are gentler on your putter for mid and longer range training. The Tour Soft is the popular choice by most Professionals and coaches.  It is really a personal choice!

The Soft Pads are made of Sorbothane which is an viscoelastic material.  When clean, the tackiness provides the added benifet of “sticking” the finish impact position.  You can then easily see if the contact was on the heel, toe or center of the putter face by checking the center line on the deck with your putter centerline.  If a non-tacky feel is desired, just rub a small amount of baby powder on them.  Wash them off with water to return to its original tackiness.

Absolutely! The major causes of the “Yips” are fear and over acceleration at impact. The Flight Deck helps golfers overcome this fear with each stroke. Making solid and square impact against the perfectly aligned pads builds confidence.  Confidence replaces fear and better impact means better results. Additionally, when golfers see they cannot follow through the impact pads, the focus becomes take a longer backstroke and use early vs late acceleration on the downstroke.  Many golfers yip putts because they accelerate late in the impact zone (Yip!) causing inconsistent direction and speed. 

NO! Flight Deck can be used for medium and longer length putts too! With our two models, the TOUR and TOUR SOFT you can work on putts ranging from 3 to 30 feet. Our original TOUR with firmer impact pads gives more feedback on shorter putts and is recommended from inside of 8 feet. The TOUR SOFT absorbs more impact energy and vibration and is recommended for longer putts up to 30 feet.  Tour players we tested with prefer the TOUR Soft from any distance.  When training longer range putts, the focus becomes correct backstroke lengths and energy needed to control different distances.
