Understand
Everything
Technology does not replace coaching, feel or player feedback. It helps us understand what is really happening, identify meaningful patterns and test whether a change is genuinely improving performance.Every golfer moves differently and responds differently to feedback, technique and equipment. By measuring aim, face delivery, path, strike, pace and ball roll, I can identify the areas most likely to improve your putting—without changing things that are already working.The aim is not to chase perfect numbers or force every player into the same model. It is to use clear information, practical coaching and your own response to build a more functional, repeatable putting game.
The JJ Putting Studio combines specialist technology, a fully adjustable putting environment and practical training tools to help golfers understand their putting in greater detail.
The studio includes a 20-foot tilting platform green, allowing us to test performance across a range of distances, slopes and breaking putts. Alongside this, I use SAM PuttLab, Quintic Ball Roll, CAPTO, Vertex, HackMotion and a range of training aids and feedback tools.Each system provides a different piece of the picture: how you aim and move the putter, how the face and path are delivered, where you strike the ball, how the ball reacts after impact, and how your performance changes across different tasks. The purpose is not to collect data for the sake of it or chase one “perfect” model. It is to identify meaningful tendencies, understand what is influencing your results and test which changes, whether technical, equipment related or practice based, will make the greatest difference to your putting.
Better information. Better decisions. Better putting.
As a SAM PuttLab Ambassador, I work closely with the team behind the technology, providing practical coaching insight and feedback that helps support its continued development and application in putting coaching.
SAM PuttLab is one of the most established and detailed putting-analysis systems available. It provides a reliable baseline of how a player aims, moves and delivers the putter, helping identify patterns in face angle, path, rotation, timing, impact and consistency.It is particularly useful for comparing different putters and conditions, tracking changes over time, and assessing how equipment influences performance.
The fitting protocols and SAM 3D-Putt module also allow the stroke to be viewed from any angle, helping us understand the relationship between movement, delivery and result.The value is not simply in collecting more numbers. It is in using the information to understand the player better and make more informed coaching and fitting decisions.
Quintic Ball Roll uses high-speed camera technology to analyse the putter and golf ball through impact. It provides detailed feedback on the moment that matters most: how the putter is delivered and how the ball reacts immediately after impact. This is especially valuable when assessing strike quality, delivered loft, face delivery, launch and early ball-roll behaviour. It helps show whether a technical or equipment change is improving the delivery of the putter and the behaviour of the ball.
Because Quintic is camera-based, the putter is not heavily altered by attached sensors. Small reference stickers are used, allowing the player to make a natural stroke while receiving clear, immediate feedback.
Used by the games best!
