  1. Hold your putter in one hand
  2. Take the Smittle Stick and locate the flat side
  3. Place the flat side directly against your putter grip
  4. Position it so the orange ball points away from you (down the shaft)
  5. The device should sit comfortably on top of your grip
💡 TIP: Make sure the flat side is flush against the grip for accurate feedback.
