The first question is, does this work? The answer to that is, YES! If you have trouble reading the green and you need a little assistance in reading the breaks on a green, then this will do that for you. Really the concept to this is not that hard.

Is it legal to use on the course, of course not! Perhaps you can get away with it on your outings but expect everyone to bat an eye when you pull this out and place it on the green.

For practicing purposes, this is an essential tool. I would consider it a worthy purchase; however, I personally have not used it for actual play. It just doesn’t make any practical sense if you relied on this.

Let’s put it this way, if you are an avid golfer using any of the 3rd party rangefinder/scorecard, you won’t be exiting out of the application to launch this application just so you can putt better. As I have stated before and as I review all these different golf applications, if it hinders your enjoyment in golf because you’re constantly tinkering with your iPhone, then you have issues.

On the other hand, if you use it as a tool to practice and help you identify breaks (off course), then it’s golden.

Overall, the design is wonderfully done. It’s easy to read and has a low learning curve to use so I give this two thumbs up.

Quick Take:
Value: Medium
Would I Buy Again: Yes
Learning Curve: Easy
Who is it for: Golfers
What I like: It definitely works and helps you read your greens.
What I Don’t: Nothing

Final Statement: If you are having a hard time reading your greens, then I suggest dropping a few dollars for this and practice away! Your putts can only get better with it.
