David Swan is the founder and developer of the the PUR TRUTH™ Putting Training Aids - a complete system that addresses every component of putting while building all the fundamentals of the perfect putting stroke.

He joins Mark Immelman to introduce his Pur Training Aids, The Pur Golf Truth Trainer and the Pur Golf Truth Prepare.

David explains the inspiration behind the training aids and shares staggering statistics on how important putting is to score reduction, and how little putting is coached, taught and practiced.

He illustrates and explains how each aid works, the elements they teach, and how they can be used to drill and galvanise strokes, while also "gamifying" practice by adding an element of pressure to preparation.

The Aids will teach you how the following keys to putting success, feel and play:

• Posture, Alignment and Aim
• Eyeline at address and through the stroke
• Stroke Shape and Path
• Putter-face alignment through the stroke and at impact, and
• Start line

The Pur trainers make practice easy, fun and productive thanks to the immediate stroke, contact and start-line feedback. They also make home-work and practice easier and are guaranteed to improve your putting stroke, the quality of your putts, and your number of putts made.

This podcast is also available on YouTube where David and Mark illustrate how the aids work.
