2026 Precision “Level-Putter”

The Best Professional “LEVEL-PUTTER” training aid I have seen in 40 years of teaching golf and being a Putting Specialist to my Blind and Disabled students.

This new Precision “LeveL-Putter” and its amazing features are fantastic. I have only been using it for a week and I have tested it myself and found it comfortable and easy to use. The features and quality it has surprised me as well. This LeveL-Putter will also help the Blind students. Firstly, I noticed once we used the Leveling device it make it easy for my new students to feel comfortable with their stance….it was always perfect. The ability to take the LeveL device off the Putter and use it as a Greens slope reading aid during practice rounds in tournaments was a super combo feature for every Golfer….Crazy good. We then looked at all the other features the LeveL-Putter had, the sensitive grip feel was the First feature we really liked. My blind students made a few putts and right away noticed that they felt the ball contact through the putting face and could judge the distance the ball travelled…. One student mentioned that he has used many different types of Putters but none had the contact face feel of the contact vibration into the Grip handle and the unique sound off the Putter face really helped with distance control giving you that face feel in your hands with easy acceleration and No hoping off the face. The Putter weight was great…Not to heavy and….Not to Light and the colour of the club head was very gentle with no glaring markings to distract you…Only a small centre alignment line with 2 special centre zone dots on either side to help visualize the centre of the Putter face. We did ladder drills with the Putter with 5 balls and all the blind and visually impaired golfers surpassed their and my expectations with the drill. Their touch and feel was excellent. There is no doubt that this “Precision LeveL-Putter” will be an advantage to any golfer who hates 3 Putts….it’s so accurate with a wonderful release feel to it that the ball just glides off the face. The Price is very reasonable and not over the top like many brand name Putters we all use. The LeveL-Putter is a great addition for all my students and I’m letting everyone in the World know about it. This is definitely a 5 star product like the “ClearBall” Putter that Innovations Golf has developed.
