Best golf training aids: PuttOut
If you’re looking to improve your putting at home then look no further than PuttOut’s range of training aids.

It’s a really neat piece of kit and, at just 80 grams and complete with a canvas carry bag, is perfect to take down the club if you’re working on your putting on a real green.
If you’re at home though, it all goes on the PuttOut Putting Mat which, if you’re wondering, runs at around 10 on the stimp.
