Great app.
I too had initial difficulty with this app and an iPhone 4S. I believe it was all operator error as now I get successful readings on about 98% of my strokes with it. Work on your tempo and all should be well. Yeah, $30 is a bit high for a piece of plastic, but once you have it you're not going to want to sell if for $50 bucks. Guaranteed!!!!Show lesshammerhead16

Good app particularly for determining and working on consistency. Found instruction and ideals to aim for lacking. Remain uninformed in this regard. But love feedback on individual tempo and face and arc angle stroke by stroke.Ozemossie
Needs updates
Like the app & craddle. Needs a better way to keep track of history of putts, to compare sessions. Different lenght in putts. More then 5 putts per session. Need to be able to customize each session. Good app, can be better. Have faith in PING. Will be waithing. Next to buy PING Driver & fairway woodsShow lessandytang
Useful but not perfect
I'm using this with an iPhone 4S and the problem is that sometimes it simply does not register a putt, even when well struck. It's designed to measure the stroke of a 10 foot putt but to get it to register reliably I have to hit it hard enough to go at least 20 feet if not more. A second issue is that it changes the weight and balance of your putter simply by being there. Obviously there's no way around this but you're not measuring your true stroke you're measuring your stroke with your phone on your putter. The lighter the putter the more of a difference this makes, of course. I've tried it with several different putters and it's most pronounced on a Cameron Newport which is a light putter and it feels completely different with the phone strapped onto it. It's also the putter that is most difficult to register putts with. Still despite the shortcomings (and presumably the registration issue can be addressed) I find it useful. I'm a nine handicap and pretty reliable from inside 10 feet, but I don't doubt that this can make me a better putter. I look forward to an update that improves the putt detection.Show lessParadise Pete

I have the 4S & it works GR8!! You have to have acceleration on your follow through for it to register, as you should on ANY PUTT!! For anyone having a problem w/4S: Put the bracket just below your putter grip, make your backstroke & FOLLOW through w/your putt. I found this put through trial & error. It has helped my putting by just doing that & has helped in ALL other areas to get a consistent stroke!! If you do NOT follow through it will NOT register!! THANKS PING for HELPING my putting!! Knocking strokes off my game EVERY week because of practicing w/your app!!!Show lessSlow Play
Stand corrected. Works for 4s!
After an email to Ping customer support, I figured out my problem and now it works awesome for my 4s!! Here was their advice to me, and it worked:
· Make sure you are hitting golf balls when you putt (not just taking practice strokes)
· Go to the user section and on your “user card” hit edit. Make sure the dexterity is properly selected.
· Make sure you are putting about 10 ft putts.
· Take have someone look at your putting stroke from behind to see if the bottom sole of your putter sits such that the toe is way up in the air (a little up is not a problem). If so, try moving your hands away from your body to flatten the sole more on the ground and take putts.
· Do you “float” the putter off of the ground before the putt? If so, try making sure the putter stays stationary the instant prior to the start of the backstroke.Show lessJojoerw
Works great with 4S!!
I've seen a handful of reviews here stating the app does not work with the iPhone 4S, that is definitely not the case. I've had the 4S since it was released in October and have registered over 100 measure sessions along with numerous practice sessions and have not seen any issues with the app missing putts.Show lessT.

A great app. Very useful for skills improvement.PJpost
Best putting aid ever
Paying for 35 years, a six handicap, a 2 through the tee, a 10 on the green. I just won my State Association net tournament, MI, putting on slick devilish greens. I made more putts over 10 feet in two days than I usually make in 2 months! Found this app Myrtle Beach in august during the World Net Amateur championship. Started putting better with just a little practice. After 3 weeks, I am trying to make 30 footers on championship greens. The rare detractor doesn't understand how important consistency is to putting. Put a string down if you can't see the line. You can practice anywhere! Course, carpet, driveway. Once you get a consistent tempo and stroke mechanics, hitting your line is almost automatic. You van read breaks because your distance control is better.
If you want to improve your putting and have been frustrated, you must add this app to your practice arsenal.Show lessGregor456
Great
Fantastic golf tool, improved my putting, highly recommend it. Would like to have a graph so you can measure progress of each function (tempo, stroke type, impact angle), not just for putting handicap.isayso1000
