3 Pillars Putting is your putting coach, in your pocket. It doesn't just track your putts — it tells you what's wrong and what to work on next. Every missed putt has a reason. Was your speed off? Did you start the ball on the wrong line? Did you misread the green? 3 Pillars Putting figures that out for you, putt by putt, round by round. WARM UP SMARTER Every golfer warms up. Almost nobody warms up with a purpose. Before your round, the app gives you a personalized 10-minute warm-up — timed, ordered, and built around your biggest leak. Start it from your home screen, or right when you start a round. Feel ready for the first green. FIND YOUR STARTING POINT IN 30 SECONDS Take the 3-question quiz when you first open the app. It identifies your weakest pillar — Speed (lag putting), Line (short putts), or Green Read — and builds your warm-up and prescribed drill around it. No scrolling through drill libraries. No guessing where to start. FIX FIRST After a few rounds, the Fix First chart shows your #1 putting weakness based on your real game data and tells you exactly what to practice. No more guessing. No more wasting time working on things that don't matter. UNDERSTAND YOUR MISSES The app breaks down every miss into Speed, Line, and Green Read — the three pillars of every putt. See your patterns through clear charts, discover blind spots you didn't know you had, and watch your tendencies change as you improve. PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE Get drills matched to your specific weaknesses. The app recommends what to practice based on your data — like having a coach design your practice plan. PRACTICE THAT SHOWS UP ON THE COURSE Your prescribed drill comes with a score. The score has a goal — the same target your on-course performance is measured against. Practice the Eyes Closed Drill and watch your Lag Putting numbers move. Practice the Gate Drill and watch your short-range Make % climb. We connect both sides of your putting so you know your work is paying off. PUTTING SESSION Practice your drill on the green with a structured session. Log every putt, see your performance breakdown, and know if your work is paying off before you take it to the course. MENTAL GAME How you respond to a miss affects the next putt more than the miss itself. Build awareness of how your mindset impacts your performance on the green. COACH CONNECT Share your putting data with your coach. Enter their code in Settings and your stats, miss patterns, and round history become visible through the Coach Connect web portal. Your coach sees what to work on before the lesson starts. Free for coaches at coach.3pillarsputting.com.

Putting Workout

Consistent tempo is what separates expert putters. Putting Workout measures yours with the Apple Watch or AirPods you already own, trains it with a metronome, and explains it in plain words. MEASURE Every putt shows your backswing and downswing times in seconds, next to your target. Green means on target. Delivery, the third number, compares the putter's speed just before impact with its speed at impact: steady into the ball shows green, a late push or a stall shows yellow or orange. • Identify My Tempo measures twelve putts at three distances and sets your personal target. • Quick Start counts putts at one distance with no setup. • Not a putt removes a practice stroke the sensor counted, during or after the session. APPLE WATCH WORKS ON ITS OWN Leave your iPhone in the bag. The Watch measures your stroke and shows your numbers, or runs the metronome as sound or taps on your wrist, and syncs each session when your phone is nearby. Series 8 or newer, Ultra, or SE 3. AIRPODS ON THE SHAFT Mount one of your AirPods on the putter shaft with a small elastic band. Tested with AirPods Pro 1 and 2, AirPods 4 and Beats Fit Pro. METRONOME Three modes at your target timing: Impact, Transition, or both. Sound or haptic. The metronome needs no sensor and no plan. CUE, YOUR PUTTING COACH Ask what the numbers mean. Cue reads your session, points out what changed, and suggests what to practice next. Built-in help works on your iPhone with no account. Cloud answers are optional, sent only when you turn them on, and stored under an anonymous code. PLANS The metronome is free. Measuring, Identify My Tempo and Cue's cloud answers come with a plan: Early-bird Monthly at $4.99 with a free first week, or Lifetime at $99 once. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage it in your Apple Account settings. Privacy: https://cue.golf/privacy Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Putting Workout measures your stroke, not your score. Results depend on your practice.
