“Five years ago, I integrated SAM PuttLab into my teaching to enhance players' understanding of the putting stroke. Its intuitive graphics simplify complex concepts, allowing students to refine their strokes independently. SAM’s portability also enables me to deliver professional instruction anywhere. It has become an invaluable tool in my coaching.”
