If it doesn't start on line, it was never going in.
Only 17% of where your ball starts comes from your stroke.
The Startline trains the other 83%.
"You can read it perfectly. Judge the pace to within inches. Make a sound stroke. And still miss every time."
You know the feeling. You've read the green. You've committed to the line. You've made what felt like a decent stroke.
It missed anyway.
The frustration builds, the confidence drops so you try changing things. Different grip. Different stance. You watch the pros for clues but they're no help. Cack-handed, traditional, claw grip, crouching over it, standing tall. They all look completely different.
So where do you go?
Here's what nobody tells you. Technique is only 17% of where your ball starts. Watch any tour event on Sunday and the proof is right there. Wildly different strokes, wildly different styles, one thing in common. The ball starts online.
That single moment determines 83% of where your ball starts. Not your grip. Not your path. Not anything a technical change will fix.
The ball was going the wrong way before it had travelled six inches. You just had no way to know it, let alone fix it.
Until now.
The first six inches decide everything.
When the ball leaves the face it is already on a specific line that is either right or wrong. Direction is set almost instantly, determined entirely by where the face was pointing at the moment of impact.
But here is the part nobody talks about.
When you trust your start line, you stop putting defensively. Instead of standing over a putt thinking "Just leave it close," you are thinking "This is going in."
That shift in mindset is worth shots on its own.
And the putt you leave yourself when you miss? You hole those too. Because you know the ball is starting where you intend.
Train your start line and the doubt disappears. You stop managing misses and start holing putts.
Jordan Spieth, once the greatest putter on the planet, said it best when he rediscovered his touch after years of struggling.
“If you think about the stroke, you've got no touch or feel. Just point, aim, shoot.”
Jordan Spieth, 3x Major Champion
Every great putter knows this. The stroke disappears when it is working. You are not thinking about it. You are just rolling the ball online.
The problem is everything the golf industry sells you does the opposite. Putting mirrors, alignment aids, stroke trainers. All of them make you more conscious of your stroke. More analytical. More in your head.
And when you are in your head, you cannot putt.
The Startline ignores your stroke completely. You just try to get the ball through the gates. Your brain and body figure out the rest. Every single time.
The putting trainer unlike anything else on the market.
Here is how it works.
Place it on your intended start line. Aim. Stroke.
The Saloon Doors tell you everything.
Roll it clean and you have nailed it. Clip a door and it spins instantly, telling you exactly which way the face was pointing. Reset in a second. Go again.
Here is the thing most golfers miss about how this works.
You are not thinking about your technique. You are not running through a checklist or trying to implement what a coach told you last Tuesday. You are just trying to get the ball through the doors.
And your brain figures the rest out on its own.
No drills. No mirrors. No string lines. No swing thoughts. Just a target, Saloon doors, and instant feedback. Your body learns what it needs to learn without you having to think about it at all.
That is why five minutes with the Startline before a round changes how you putt for the next 18 holes. You are not consciously thinking about anything. You just know.
The tee peg problem
They flip at the slightest contact. There is no grazing. No ambiguity. No rolling through a gate you barely clipped and telling yourself that was close enough.
You either started it on line or you did not. The Startline tells you which, every single time.
The indentation problem
There is a difference between practising and practising with the truth. The Startline is the only putting trainer built to give you both.
The Saloon Doors
They work differently. They spin at the slightest contact. There is no grazing. No ambiguity. No rolling through a gate you barely clipped and telling yourself that was close enough.

There is a difference between practising and practising with the truth. The Startline is the only putting trainer built to give you both.
How good do you want to get?
The Startline comes with four tolerance settings. Each one means something specific for your game on the course. We did the maths.
Your start line is accurate enough to make putts up to 3 feet. Most golfers reach this standard within a session or two. Once you are consistently rolling it through here, your putting will already be better.
Your start line holds up to around 5 feet. The short putts that used to feel nervy start to feel routine.
Your start line is accurate enough to make putts up to 8 feet. The par saves. The momentum putts. The ones that change a round.
Roll it clean through the tightest gate and your start line holds from 15 feet and beyond. This is where putting becomes something else entirely.
Built to last. Built to be honest.
Magnetic Saloon Doors: feedback you cannot argue with
Most putting aids leave room for doubt. A grazed tee peg that barely moves. A small ball that might have rolled on its own. The Saloon Doors remove all of that. Held firm by a magnet, they spin at the slightest contact. Not a wobble. Not a nudge. A clear, unambiguous spin that tells you exactly what happened the moment it happens. No other start line trainer gives you feedback this precise or this honest.
Two sets of doors. Four tolerance settings.
The wider pair gives you 8mm and 6mm. When you are ready, swap to the tighter pair for 4mm and 2mm. Same slot, magnetic fit, takes seconds. Progress at your own pace. There is no rush and there is no ceiling.
Raised back edge
We are often asked why the back of the Startline is so high. The answer is simple: to encourage a centre strike. It is rarely talked about, but to strike most putters in the sweet spot, the putter needs to be approximately 10mm off the ground. We could have made the Startline much thinner, but we found 5mm was perfect. Because impact is at the back of the unit, this still allows 5mm of clearance.
3D printed with steel reinforcement
The base is weighted with stainless steel so it stays exactly where you put it. On a putting green, on a practice mat, on your living room carpet. No tee pegs. No anchoring. No nudging it back into position mid-session.
Saloon Door holder included
All four doors store in a single compact holder. This holder clips onto the Startline unit, ensuring everything you need is in one place, ready to start your practice session.
Carry case included
The Startline arrives in a premium carry case. Everything protected, everything organised, ready to go wherever you practise.
Encourages a square face at impact
The Saloon Doors do not just train your start line. They show you exactly where your face is pointing at impact. Many golfers discover for the first time that their face is open or closed without ever having known it. A fundamental fixed without a single technical thought.
Results that speak
I recommend the PACEPUTT Startline to any golfer who wants to improve on the greens. Most of my students think they have a technique problem. Nine times out of ten it is a start line problem. The Startline shows them that in the first five minutes and they never forget it. I use it myself too and it has been a game changer for me.
I'm not a bad putter but I was inconsistent, missing more of the ones I should make. The Startline instantly showed me I wasn't starting the ball where I thought I was. Worse, my clubface was open and I had no idea. Ten minutes later I was rolling it through the 4mm gate and couldn't miss. I use it for five minutes before every round now. My confidence on the greens is unreal.
I've tried everything to improve my putting. Lessons, YouTube, the lot. I was sceptical about the Startline but was blown away. All of a sudden I stopped thinking about what I was doing and just focused on getting through the gates. I struggled on 8mm for ten minutes then something clicked. Now I'm hitting 6 out of 10 on 4mm and my putting has never been better.
I've only played two years so I'm no expert. But when I played with better golfers the stark difference wasn't the long game, it was the greens. The Startline showed me immediately I was starting everything right of where I thought. I didn't try to change anything, just focused on getting through. My putting is unrecognisable from where I was.
Honest answers before you ask.
The Startline is perfect for weekend golfers because you can use it anywhere and get reliable results. It only takes a few minutes to see improvement, because the feedback is so clear and effective. Before you head out to play, simply hit a few putts through the gates to get a feel for your start line. It is a five minute warmup that can transform how you putt for the next four hours.
Place it on your line. Put the ball in the slot and putt. That is the entire setup. No pegs, no string lines, no measuring. If you can put a ball on a green you can use the Startline.
You will know within the first five putts. Either the doors spin and you see exactly what your face was doing, or you roll it clean and you know you nailed it. There is no grey area. No wondering. The feedback is instant and completely unambiguous every single time.
This is where we are different. Because we don't tell you anything, you can't think of anything. We only give you feedback, and your muscle memory and subconscious do the rest. It transfers because it was never in your head in the first place.
The Startline works alongside whatever else you are doing. If you are working with a coach on your stroke, great. The Startline shows you whether those technical changes are actually translating to a better start line at impact. It is the proof of whether your technique work is paying off. Most golfers find that the two complement each other perfectly.
There is always room for improvement, even for the best in the world. Because we only offer feedback, the Startline is perfect for keeping you on track, or for helping identify what might be causing any issues that arise.
Use it. If it doesn't work,
We chose 72 days for a reason. That is par for most courses. Enough time to take the Startline through a proper run of weekend rounds, work through the tolerance settings, and feel the difference on the greens.
Use it. Take it to the practice green before your rounds. Work from 8mm down to whatever level challenges you. Give it a genuine chance to do what it is designed to do.
If you don't notice a real improvement in your start line and your confidence on the greens, send it back for a full refund. No awkward questions. No hoops to jump through.
We are confident enough in the Startline to give you 72 days to prove us right.
Your putting changes here.
If anything on this page has made you think, maybe that is what has been going wrong, the Startline is worth trying.
More putts dropping. Fewer of those dreaded 3-putts. And the confidence to stand over every putt knowing the ball is going where you are looking.
Includes both sets of Saloon Doors, the door holder, and a premium carry case.
