Excellent Putting Improvement Device
 
Review Date: November 30, 2008

The Adams Golf Dixx digital training putter is a versatile club. It can be used as a regular putter with an insert that comes with it. However, that would neither justify the cost nor capitalize on the technology that comes with the digital training module.

Overall, I like the club as an aid to providing very specific feedback on how consistent and effective my putting stroke is. For each putt, the display will show where the ball and clubhead make contact (heel, center or toe), the angle of the clubface at impact (open, square or closed), the relative speed and direction of the backswing and follow-thru, and a few other useful data points. The club even more importantly will show your putting performance over a series of putts (10, 30 or 50 -- which you can select).

I have been using the club for several months, averaging about 15 putts a day. During that time I have found 3 "glitches" that I cannot seem to correct but which have NOT interfered with my practice. Occasionally, the club does not register every putt. Also the method for advancing and selecting the various displays is "quirky" -- i.e., sometimes I can make my selection easily and at other times it requires some careful manipulation. The third "glitch" is that the extended use of the display (for example, practicing with the display ON for more than 50 minutes straight) drains the 2 AAA batteries significantly and disrupts the display -- I use Duracell Ultra batteries.

I bought my DIXX new for $200 online. I could not justify to myself paying much more than $250 for it just because I had never been able to find it in any stores so I could evaluate it first-hand. Now that I've bought it and am using it regularly, I am convinced that it is worth more than what I paid for it.

I recommend this digital putter to those who are serious about improving the consistency and accuracy of their putting stroke. It's not a "miracle" device, but it is an excellent improvement tool that can be used at home, on the practice green, in the office or a hotel room, or in conjunction with other putter aids, such as the Accelerator 3 Putting Trainer (which I have & use with this club).
