Never misread a putt again. PuttView shows you exactly why you're missing. The average amateur golfer takes 40 putts per round, while PGA Tour players only take 29. This 11-stroke gap is the most recoverable gap in golf - and PuttView helps you close that efficiently. Instead of just rolling putts, start practice deliberately with immediate and accurate feedback on every putt. Using your iPhone's LiDAR sensor, PuttView scans any green and overlays precise, data-based visuals directly on the surface. Contour lines, slope arrows, the correct putting line, aiming point, and speed and distance data. All in real time. On any real green, indoors or outdoors. No guesswork. No estimation. Just the read. What PuttView shows you: Contour Lines See the exact topography of the green. Scan any surface, with or without a putt lined up. Understand how it breaks before you ever address the ball. Slope Arrows: Instant directional cues showing the fall line at every point on the green. The exact direction the ball would roll downhill. Read the green faster, more accurately. Ideal Line: Not just the optimal line. The correct line, calculated for perfect pace. See exactly where your ball needs to travel from the moment it leaves the putter face until it hits the bottom of the cup. Aiming Line & Aiming Point: A precisely defined start direction and target point. Eliminate alignment guesswork entirely. Putt Info: Speed, distance, and break data for every putt. Build a feel for pace and line grounded in real numbers. Built for golfers who take their game seriously. The PuttView app is not a simulator. It works on any green, outdoors, and indoors. The same technology trusted by tour professionals, elite coaches, and leading training facilities worldwide is now in your pocket. Scan. Read. Putt.

Putting practice made fun. LagKing is the companion app for the LagKing putting gate. Put the gate down on carpet, a putting mat, or a practice green, roll a putt through it, and the app tells you how far that ball would have finished. STOP THREE-PUTTING Three-putts come from speed, not line. The trouble is that most practice spaces are too short to teach you speed, because the ball stops before it tells you anything. LagKing reads the putt you actually hit and projects the full rollout, so you can work on 50 foot lag putts without a 50 foot green. NINE WAYS TO PRACTICE Target. Pick a distance, or let the app pick one, and dial it in. Distance Challenge. Work a spread of distances and watch your speed control tighten. Simulated 9. Play nine holes of lag putting with a real scorecard. Putting Ladder. Climb through distances one rung at a time. Start Line. Find out whether you are pushing or pulling the ball. Poker. Earn cards by putting close and build the best hand. Line Four. Connect four by landing putts exactly where you want them. Turf War. Claim ground with every putt. King of the Hill. Take the crown and try to keep it. PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE Hand the phone around for a match on a single gate, or send a challenge to a friend and watch their putts play back against yours. Leaderboards, personal bests, and every session you have ever putted, kept. PRECISE WHERE IT MATTERS The gate measures ball speed to roughly 0.1 percent. Speed is the number that decides whether a lag putt finishes tight or leaves you a four footer, so it is the number worth getting right. READY IN SECONDS The gate pairs with your phone or tablet wirelessly. Put it down, putt through it, done. Modes run out to 60 feet. NO SUBSCRIPTION The full phone and tablet app comes with your gate. The LagKing putting gate is required, and is available for purchase at lagking.com.
