SAM Puttlab marks a new dimension in putting analysers. It uses ultrasound technology to map the three-dimensional movement of the putter throughout the putting stroke. Three miniature ultrasonic transmitters are housed in the triplet unit attached to the putter. Signals from these transmitters are collected and processed by the receiver unit mounted on a small tripod.
SAM Puttlab measures 28 key parameters of your putting strokeincluding:
- Swingpat
- Face rotation
- Speed and acceleration
- Swing duration
- Point of impact on the putter face
- Dynamic loft at impact
The results are then displayed in easy-to-understand graphic reports.

By benchmarking a player’s performance against standards set by more than 100 PGA Tour playersthe academy coaches can quickly highlight the strengths and weaknesses of any putting stroke. Puttlab is then used during the rest of the putting lesson to provide instant feedback to the player. The SAM Puttlab experience is not to be missed. It is fun, very informative and a sure way of improving any players’s putting stroke. It also provides the academy’s custom fit staff with valuable putter fitting information.
