Cleveland Golf VP1 Putter

Cleveland Golf VP1 Putter Our research at Cleveland Golf has indicated that one of the major contributors to missed putts is misalignment. Unlike most sports where the eyes are positioned directly behind the target, the putting stroke positions the eyes to the side of the target. Principals of optometry show that unless eyes can be positioned directly above the ball’s center and on the intended target line, visual misperceptions will occur. For most golfers, the common solution for this problem is to compensate by adjusting their swing path or address position. These adjustments cause greater inconsistency in the putting address position. An inconsistent address position creates inconsistencies in the putting stroke which imparts sidespin onto the ball. All of this leads to a higher likelihood of missed putts. With the Visual Performance (VP) putters, Cleveland Golf has produced a series of putters that will aid players by getting them into the correct address position every time. Using Dual Axis Alignment technology, golfers are now able to determine when their hands move out of position as well as detect when their eyes are not directly over the ball. These are the two major contributors to pushed and pulled putts. By addressing both of these issues, VP putters increase impact consistency. The results are true roll and better distance control which leads to more putts made and lower scores.    Features  • Slant plumber’s neck hosel  • Full shaft offset  • Lie angle-alignment insert  • Toe down design  • Soft elastomer face insert  • 340 g Blade Head  • 3* Loft

Please review my golf swing if ya got a minute or two?

This video is average quality but it has down the line and side view.
I tend to hit the ball of the toe and hook it left any advice?

Set up looks good with one exception. You are very straight legged with no knee flex at all. If you notice in both views you struggle to maintain balance at the finish. The side view shows why. You have a large move to the right in your backswing, which I’m sure feels to you like making a big turn or getting behind the ball. But you are so far back there that there is no way for you to get all the way back to the ball at impact. Even in these practice swings we see the club bottoming out well before where the ball would be. That means the club is already closing by the time you get to impact. The slide to the right in the backswing causes much of this. The big question is what causes the slide?

Go back to your address position. Create a little bit of knee flex and maintain that flex in your right knee through the backswing. You should actually feel tension created in the inside of your right thigh as you coil. If you lose your knee flex you will again slide to the right and get too far behind the ball. If you can maintain your knee flex you will be more on top of the ball at the top, your backswing will become more compact, and you will see a huge difference in your drive through the ball and balance at the finish. Yours is actually a pretty easy fix!
