The Course Clubs Golf Putt Reader is the most advanced golf putting tool for your iPhone.

Putt Reader is designed to help you train your eye and your golf putting stroke so that you sink more golf putts. Unlike other iPhone applications that show you which directon the green slopes, Putt Reader actually calculates the arc of your golf putt with a groundbreaking scientific algorithm.

How does it work?
1. Set the distance of your putt by pinching or spreading your thumb and index finger along the length of the screen. To figure out your distance walk off the length from the hole to the ball, the average adult step is 3 feet so 5 steps would equal 15 feet.

2. Set the distance to the break by placing your index finger on the phone logo on the screen and move it closer or farther from the hole.

3. By setting the distance of the break you are measuring the break at a certain point of the putt so if you have a 20 foot putt and you want to see the break at 10 feet, set the distance of the putt to 20 feet and the break to 10 feet. Then line up the ear speaker with the hole at 10 feet from the phone and the Putt Reader will show you how your putt will break.

4. Once the Putt Reader has calculated your putt, you may freeze frame your putt so that you can move your phone back with your ball and study your line.

5. The Putt Reader Caddie tip will give you a good idea on how many balls outside the hole you should aim.

Good luck with your Golf Game

Pros and cons of Golf Putt Reader app for iPhone and iPad

Golf Putt Reader app good for

I had a lot of fun playing around with this when I played 9 holes this afternoon. Very helpful when trying to figure how far to play your ball outside the hole. Especially helpful with subtle breaks on putts of 10+ feet. Also had fun messing around with it on the prctice green with my friend before our round.
Well put together app! I grabbed this after trying their Scorecard app.... both are very functional and work well, but this one is a blast to use! Well worth money. -Bird
This app works great! Its exacty what I needed...now the weakest part of my game will soon be my strongest!
A must app for any golfer. Measures the contours of the toughest greens who needs a caddy.
Heck ya! I never thought something like this could exist. I dont care how it works, but I know it does! This is very cool indeed.
I just downloaded this app and I have to say that I am very impressed. Its easy to use and it looks great. I cant wait to try it out on the greens. If you are a golf fanatic like I am, this app is a must-have!

Some bad moments

So I am a 4 handicap and I played 7 rounds using this app and it says every putt is inside the hole or on the edge. I went as far as emailing the creators of the app to see if I was misusing the app but I was doing everything correctly. I gave it one last shot on a 15 ft putt that clearly broke 2.5 to 3 cups right to left and the app said i should play it on the right edge... Way off! I wish it worked but it doesnt
