By: Matt Saternus In an environment of increasingly complicated, high-tech training aids, The Pill dares to be different: a training aid so simple that you understand how to use the very first time to it you set eyes on it. I first saw The Pill at the 2013 PGA Show, and I immediately called it to my aBest of Showa list.A Shortly afterwards, I'd The Pill in for a total review.A So, will The Pill function as sort of training support that I form a lifelong bond with, or is it only a one-night stand? While itas perfectly easy to understand just how to use The Pill, actually using it does require time and effort.A The Pill needs to be directed perfectly otherwise it wonat are intended.A This means that you 1) need to know the great line for the putt and 2) have to bend down and align The Pill perfectly on that line.A Though this isnat difficult after you determine the best line, it could be laborious. So, what is it that The Pill is trying to teach us?A To be perfect at impact.A The Pill makes it harder to make putts with imperfect face angles.A Said still another way, with a normal basketball, you can have your club face in a less-than-perfect place and still make putts.A With The Pill, that wonat work.A If you want to focus on having a more-perfect face position at impact, The Pill can teach you. While The Pill is definitely effective in what it aims to accomplish, Longevity is where it really falls short for me.A When I said above, placing up The Pill is time intensive, and it must be performed on every putt.A Set it up incorrectly, and you all but ensure a neglect (and probably inaccurate feedback ).A This does not make putting more pleasurable, nor does it make it easier on your back.A Since putting is already the least-practiced section of the sport, this is a fatal combination. I do think you will find two groups of guys who might use The Pill on a lengthy period basis: guys with skilled caddies and guys stuck putting inside all winter.A Yes, that first one was tongue-in-cheek, however for the golf lover putting on a strip of carpet all cold temperatures, the additional problem of The Pill might be worth the excess bending over and filling up. The Pill can be acquired through The Pill web site for ($12.95 each) or ($44.95 for 3) and a holding bag.A While this price is much below the aaveragea price for a training aid, it ought to be recognized that this training aid is slightly more aconsumablea than others due to the likelihood of finding lost or being left somewhere.A The Worth score reflects a combination of great pricing and Effectiveness, but poor Longevity. The Peanut Gallery had an initial a reaction to The Pill that was much like my own: aThatas great, and I get ita (The Peanut Gallery is obviously quite proud of itself when it doesnat need an explanation ).A After watching The Pill define seemingly-impossible curves across the opening, the acoola part started initially to diminish, but the aI get ita part grew.A After a few minutes of playing with it, the consensus was that The Pill was definitely hard, but there was not great interest in possessing one. Though I just like the notion of The Pill and find it very effective at its stated purpose, I think that itas a neglect for the average player as a result of time involved with setting it up on every putt.
