Putting practice time isn’t always easy to come by. When you do have the chance, it helps to have the right tools. These seven putting training aids stand out in 2025, not just for what they do but for how effectively they help you improve.

Best Overall: Putting Arc Mirror Bundle with T3 and Gates

This bundle brings together several putting aids into an affordable package. It comes with a Putting Arc, a full putting mirror and gates. If you are new to structured practice and training aids, this is a top choice. I find this bundle helps me from getting bored during practice.

The arc helps groove a natural, repeatable stroke while the mirror checks eye alignment, shoulder position and putter face setup. It’s a full-system approach that appeals to both visual and feel-based learners and it’s priced fairly.

EyeLine Golf Sweet Spot 360°

When I was a kid, I had these golf putting clips that attached to the face of my putter. They gave instant feedback and unless you hit it dead center, you were going to hit a three-foot squib. It’s that simple.

The concept here is the same. This is a simple, budget-friendly option that teaches center-face contact through instant feedback.

The difference between a clean “click” and a muffled “thud” makes it a great auditory and feel-based tool.

Scratch Stick and Magnet

The Scratch Stick is like a Swiss Army knife of golf training tools. In addition to being an alignment stick, camera mount and video stake, it’s also a putting training aid. While its main purpose is for full-swing alignment, I like it because of the minimalist putting mirror and putting track. You can also use it to record your putting stroke, something golfers don’t do enough.

If you love gear consolidation or documenting your practice, this is a solid pickup.

GoSports Down the Line Putting String

The Down the Line string guide offers a visual training aid for the start line and stroke direction. You can practice straight putts or breaking ones by adjusting the angle. It’s extremely easy to set up and it’s lightweight.

It’s also cheap and you don’t have to worry about spray painting a line or using a chalk line.

EyeLine Golf Edge Putting Rail 70°

If you’re looking to engrain a smooth stroke with perfect face control, the EyeLine Golf Edge Putting Rail is a great choice. The 70-degree lie angle aligns with most putters and facilitates a natural putting motion. I find this to be a great tool for beginners because it simplifies the stroke. It just doesn’t travel well in the golf bag.

Tour Striker Smart Ball

Here’s one you may already own. The Tour Striker Smart Ball is a popular training aid that can be used for everything from the driver to the putter. It’s one of the most versatile tools in the game.

The Smart Ball teaches arm-body connection. It also helps to keep wrists quiet and improves rhythm and tempo. It’s inflatable and compact, making it easy to travel with. You’ll also be able to use it for more than just putting.

WellPutt Stroke Master

The WellPutt Stroke Master is part putting mat, part putting coach.

The Stroke Master is a full drill station disguised as a game board. With 18 training drills and multiple challenge modes, it keeps you engaged while refining pace control and accuracy. If you need structured practice, you’ll find it here.

This is one of the more expensive putting training aids on the list but it will also give you plenty to work on.

Final thoughts

These tools should give you more direction and insight into where your putting game may benefit the most. Make sure to go for a putter fitting and ensure it’s not your putter that’s causing your frustration on the greens.
