Ever see a Tour pro or their caddie straddling the line of a putt and wonder what they’re doing?

They’re taking the guesswork out of green reading. 

Science tells us that our feet are actually better at reading greens than our eyes are. They just need a little training. That’s why we created the Slope Plate. Our Slope Plate will train your feet and brain to feel the break on putting surfaces. It’s portable, easy to use, and you can train anywhere–even at home. Sure, a non-golfing housemate might give you a strange look, but if someone doesn’t play golf do we really care what they think? 

 Included with purchase:

  • Slope Plate
  • Custom Training Videos w/ In-Depth Instruction
  • 99 Day Money-Back Guarantee - Not happy? Send it back for a full refund.

Your Eyes Lie, Your Feet Don't

How does Slope Plate work?

1. Stand on our Slope Plate with your feet shoulder-width apart. Use the feel in your feet to estimate the % of slope.

2. Look down and find the line that is centered between your feet. That is the actual slope %.

3. Repeat this until you can feel the slope % accurately and consistently.

Step 1

Insert Bubble Level and Snap Into Place

Insert the bubble level into the designated slot in the middle of the board. Connect the two boards and snap them into place.

Step 2

Step Up and Guess the Slope

Step onto the board without looking at your feet and estimate the slope % you're standing on. After making your guess, look down. The number directly between your feet is the actual slope %.

Step 3

Move Around and Repeat

Repeat the above exercise on the Slope Plate until you can consistently and accurately detect the slope percentage.

Helping Me Find Consistency

As a mid-handicap golfer working to improve my short game, I’ve been searching for a putting aid that would help me strike the ball more cleanly and consistently. The WhyGolf Putting Thing has proven to be a valuable addition to my practice sessions. It’s easy to use, gives immediate feedback, and has helped me feel more confident on the greens. I still have a long way to go, but this tool has definitely helped me take the next step in improving my short game.

The Best Putting Aid on the market

I absolutely love the Putting Thing. The adjustability of the putter gate and ball gate are like no other. Unlike other putter gates that require tees, the Putting Thing is awesome for indoor and outdoor use and allows me to putt on the putting green and indoor putting mat to ensure I am starting the ball on-line as well as striking the ball in the center of the putter face. Not only that, but the putter and ball gate are unequivocally precise in width, while other gates that require tees often are inconsistent in gate width due to different tee angles into the ground. WhyGolf really hit a home run with the Putting Thing and it is exciting for me to implement it into my everyday putting practice routine.

Thanks for the thoughtful review, Kyle. Let us know if we can do anything for you in the future. -WhyGolf Team

Unbelievably Effective!

The putting thing has helped me tremendously. It's intuitive to use and helps me start my ball online and hit the center of the clubface as well. It's incredibly easy to use and I love using it before golf tournaments. It’s a great way to gain confidence and it makes putting easier.

First off excellent customer service, I mean beyond excellent actually. I had 2 questions and Brad replied to me within minutes both times and answers my questions fully and was super nice and professional and the answers were also just what I wanted to hear. I recommend this company for sure. The putting thing is super nice and after talking to brad I understand it's design and quality better. Great experience overall.

This is an awesome product. Putting plate to help with your path. The green cards for break analysis. And the Slope board the help clearing the AIM system. If you want to improve all aspects of your putting you really need this entire system.

Putting Thing Review

The product arrived on schedule and is of solid construction. If I were to nitpick I would make the gates metal also but the plastic are sturdy and have an audible click to know they are in place. I have practiced with it on four separate hour long sessions and I can see improvement. It takes getting used to but I believe the logic behind it is solid. I don't leave the practice session without making 10 straight from around 10 feet and once you get the area tighten down it is difficult. However, it is doable and I think I suck less..

Putting Thing

This device combines the best of putting practice tools. It allows you to work on your swing path, face control, and a consistent set up. I am able to fine tune adjustments and know that they are correct. I especially love the alignment track so that I know you I am perfectly aligned on the target before you start practicing.

Slope Plate FAQ's

Why did we create Slope Plate?

Using your feet to detect slopes on putting greens is widely considered the most effective method for reading greens. However, the reality is that most golfers don't have the time to spend hours each week on a putting green, training their feet to detect slope.

Slope Plate offers golfers the option to improve their green-reading abilities from home – in between meetings, during calls, or while watching TV!

How often do I need to use it to see results?

Use the Slope Plate for just a few minutes each day, and you'll quickly become adept at detecting even the most subtle slopes!

What are the two included level vials used for?

The two level vials (included with purchase) are designed to be placed in the specific central area of your assembled board. Their purpose is to indicate whether the board is resting on an entirely level surface.
