The folks at L.A.B. Golf believe that most golfers are using putters that aren’t helping them putt better. In fact, they believe that their putter styles are working against them.

Sam Hahn, the founder of L.A.B. Golf joins #OntheMark to talk with Mark Immelman about the L.A.B. Golf putters and how their Lie Angle Balance technology can help golfers improve their putting strokes and make more putts.

Hahn introduces the selection of L.A.B. putters and the PGA TOUR player that have changed their putting fortunes by using them. 

He also talks about:

• The hallmark of great putting - returning the putter face to “square” at impact, or perpendicular to the target line and how LAB putters make that easier.
• The research showing that 83% of a putt’s starting direction is influenced by the direction of the putter face at impact.
• What is Lie Angle Balance Technology and the design of LAB putters with elements like Weighting, Shaft design and angle, Grip alignment and style.
• The influence of Torque in the putting stroke, and on the putter face, and the elements in the LAB putters that reduce torque for more control.
• "Torque Hangover" in putting and grip pressure for putter face control.
• How Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) Technology makes it effortless for golfers to deliver a square putter face at impact.
• How Lie Angle Balance allows a golfer to make a natural stroke with less mechanical effort to keep maintain an accurate Swing Path.

Improving your putting is the easiest way to lower your scores.  Download and listen as Sam Hahn illustrates how his L.A.B. putters can help you to make better, more consistent, more reliable putting strokes - strokes that will lead to more holed putts.

The eyes are an athlete's, and a golfer's biggest weapon and so it would make sense to train them, as well as protect and enhance what they see.  Jondo Eyewear, with its Krisp technology built into every lens, does just that.

Mark Immelman is joined by South Africa's Dr. Pieter Naude (Optometrist and inventor of the Krisp technology), Mike De Jongh (former ATP Tennis Player and Jondo partner) and Morne Botha (Jondo CEO) to talk about the eyewear and how they are specifically designed to be the best sport-performance/fashion eyewear in the business.

The Jondo organizational aim is to provide golfers with high contrast enhancement lenses for better on-course performance.  As the Jondo crew introduce the eyewear the following performance elements are discussed:

• Krisp Technology vs Polarized lenses and how Krisp virtually eliminates haze and glare.
• How the Jondo eyewear boosts Reds, Greens and Blues of the color spectrum and how those colors help golfers to better sight the golf-ball, read greens and see contrasts in slope and grain.
• Spectral Filtration - what it is and what it does for a golfer's performance
• Perceptual Distortion and how Jondo Eyewear's design elimimates that, and
• Jondo's lens design and thickness and how it protects from injury to the eyes.

Briston Peterson is the founder of On Point Golf.  On Point manufactures the revolutionary 3D domed Golf Ball Marker.

The On Point Marker is designed to improve your Spatial Acuity which in turn leads to improvements in green-reading, aim and alignment, and eventually more holed putts.

The reason for the success of the marker is that human being are 3D creatures, living in a 3D world, but our eyes can show us only two dimensions.  The On Point 3D Marker bridges that gap and allows a golfer to dial-in his/her focus and intensely concentrate, creating the effect of "tunnel vision" which enhances the golfer's confidence on the greens.

Briston joins #OntheMark to introduce the marker, illustrate how it works, and dive into the mechanics of how it helps a golfer to improve his/her stereoscopic vision for better alignment and the commensurate marginal gains that promotes.

He also shares a putting tip from On Point Ambassador, US Open champion Jim Furyk. 

Other putting improvement concepts include:

• Improvements in Putting Speed and Lines
• Charting Marginal Gains for Confidence
• The Value of Instinct and the "First Impression" in Green Reading, and
• Reading Greens from a Wide to Narrow perspective and approach.

This podcast is sure to help you improve your confidence on the greens in order to lower your scores.  Listen to it on audio or watch it on YouTube - search and subscribe to Mark Immelman.
