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.

Reducing 3 Putts

This a great training aid. I use it for weekly practice on my putting. I have had it for just over a month and seen a real decline in 3 putts which have been killing my game. I have seen a 1.8 stroke improvement in putting since using the Putting Thing. I would highly recommend getting one and using it with your Putting practice.

A lot of my students struggle with aiming their putts. The Putting Thing has all the tools you need to become a great putter. One of my favorites!

Getting FAST Results

SUPER easy to use. The Putting Thing's adjustable gates make me want to practice putting. I use it for a couple minutes before I go play and it's paying dividends. Highly recommend.

Great way to work on squaring my club up and tempo

Been working with the Putting Thing a few weeks now after learning about it from the Wicked Smart Golf podcast. It takes a bit of getting used to and dealing with some frustration/learning curve of hitting the gates when first using it. However after continued practice and use I am seeing positive results on my tempo, squaring the club face and follow through while practicing putting Looking forward to seeing the progress translate to the course s which will be opening soon.

Instant improvement

The "Putting Thing" is a device that will significantly improve your putting inside of 10 minutes from opening the box. Using it just 5 minutes a day, I have already seen drastic improvement in my confidence and ability to start putts on the correct line and watch them go in!!! Thank you Why Golf for creating this fantastic product!!

We’re thrilled to hear the Putting Thing is already making a big impact on your confidence and roll! We appreciate your support, Scott! -WhyGolf Team

Love the putting thing!

Had it for 5 days, and even though it hasn't locked in a new stroke yet, it's at least let me know what I'm doing wrong, which has led to shots saved on the golf course, and even dropping more birdies! Going to get the rest of the putting system next!

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.
