I'll be reviewing this very interesting product over the coming weeks. A putting training aid that uses a laser to give instant feedback on the path of your stroke.
This is a small laser pointer-like device that attaches to the shaft of your putter and gives a visual marker on the ground. It's designed to promote an arced putting stroke, which is sort of hard to grasp when looking at pictures, but it actually does do just that. The goal is the have an arced stroke without taking the putter outside or too far inside the line.
I had a chance to use it for awhile this evening and I'll be honest and say that it worked surprisingly well. Only thing is that you need something that marks a straight line on the surface you're putting on - they recommend a chalk line if you're on an actual putting green. I'm notorious for taking my arc very inside the line and it was pretty quick to show me when I was doing that. Will get some pics and maybe some video here in the coming days.
It's probably best described in this video:
