Greetings,

It's called a synchronised stroke - matching the speed of the stroke to the speed of the ball. A great way to teach anyone distance control.

Watch the video.

Cheers

Alex

Alex,

Welcome to the forum, we look forward to your contributions. You own an interesting product. Rather point the members here to the video on your site, can you describe in more detail the theory behind your device?

Thanks,

Bagger

Hi Bagger,

Sure, I'd be happy to.


The Boomerang works on three levels. It's a ball returner that doesn't need batteries or power, it's an addictive skill challenge and it's also a professional putting aid. Basically it keeps you coming back because it's so challenging and at the sametime it gives you excellent feedback on every putt you hit - good and bad.

But here's the thing, because the target is on a thread and can be adjusted up or down to make a lip to catch the ball, when the ball is sitting in the target it tells you about the break. If it's sitting at 6 o'clock on a clock face then there is no break, so if you hit a ball and it curves left or right there is only one other variable - your stroke. It means you are learning from good putts and bad putts at the rate of 500/hour.

But you're not just bashing away, you can adjust the height (length of putt), break and difficulty. By winding the hole down to create a lip the challenge is then to catch the first ball on the lip and then use a second ball to knock it out and return both balls to you - it is in effect a two ball putting system designed so you wont ever have to move off your spot.

If you'd like more info about the Boom or putting in general I'd be only too happy to help.

Enjoy your practice!

Cheers

Alex

PS How was that coach?

Boomerang Review
I've had one of these for about a year, and I can attest to the benefits. It is a very useful device and can become very addictive. The only knock on it is the quality of the putting carpet that comes with it. After a year, there are still creases from being folded in the original box.

If this were improved, I would vote thumbs up.

OK What is the verdict?
What is the verdict on a special offer for members? Got my interest now.

Folks,

Boomgolf is self-promoting their products here and just to be clear, there is NO endorsement from LBG.
Please revisit our forum rules regarding advertising on this site. I asked for a specifics regarding the "theory" behind the product and all I got in response is a sales pitch with pointers off of this site. If we can't get more substantive data on the product, this thread will have to come down.

Thanks,

Bagger

Hi Butch,

Have you tried ironing it under a towell on a very gentle heat?

It is a travel mat and the only way we can get it in the box is by folding it.

Sorry this has detracted from your enjoyment of the product.

Cheers

Alex
