Testimonials about SAM PuttLab:
Steve North, Director of Instruction, St Andrews Links Golf Academy: "St Andrews Links Golf Academy is proud to be at the forefront of the modern game. SAM PuttLab is a key component of the coaching system we have in operation at the Home of Golf. It provides clear feedback, positive results and above all it is fun to use."
David Leadbetter: "The SAM PuttLab provides insight into the putting stroke with a level of precision unlike any other technology. The successful use of the system in my work with PGA tour players confirmed the high efficiency of this excellent feedback tool."
Keith Williams (PGA European Tour Coach): "As soon as I had worked with the system myself, I realized what an innovative and significant piece of equipment it is. ... Knowing exactly what is happening during the putting stroke can mean a significant and important change of approach to helping coach golfers at all levels. Ultimately it’s about helping players get better results."
Joanne Mills (Ladies European Tour winner 2007): "After attending the Putting Academy my putting stats have improved enormously. I now average about 30 putts and make more birdies in a round than I ever have. I truly recommend you have your stroke analysed by the SAM PuttLab."
Bob Tway (US PGA Tour Professional): "Thanks to the SAM PuttLab, I moved from 177th in putting to #1 on the PGA tour for greens hit in regulation in 2008. The SAM PuttLab documents truth while giving me the confidence of what I feel conforms to "right on" point. It supersedes what the best instructor's "eye" could possibly visualize . The SAM PuttLab is the MRI of putting. Thank you Science and Motion."
Padraig Harrington (European Tour Player) - in "The Guardian": "You can have good weeks putting badly, and vice versa, but this machine is a great help with those things even a coach cannot see".
Travis Fussell (President Fussell Putters, Inc): "From amateurs to tour players, I am amazed how easy it is to pinpoint problems in ones putting stoke. From a simple assessment to teaching, nothing comes close to the accuracy and consistency that your machine displays. I have been able to modify and sell hundreds of putters utilizing your SAM system."

Hank Haney Hank Haney has been working successfully with the SAM System at the Hank Haney Golf Ranch in Texas. In the Golf Digest magazine, Haney stated the following: "… So how do you create a process to diagnose and treat the yips – a problem many players won’t even admit they have? That’s where the Super SAM machine comes in. A team of German scientists and teaching professionals figured that the only way to cure the yips was to first discover exactly when, how and how much they happen in a stroke. That’s what their Super SAM machine does. It provides a complete diagram of the putting or chipping stroke, measured with ultrasound…" -- Hank Haney, "The Science of Curing Yips – New Technology Finally Gives You A Fighting Chance" Golf Digest, August, 2004
Geoff Mangum (Putting Expert and Instructor): "The SAM PuttLab takes putting science into the body, giving the teacher and the golfer all the precise knowledge needed to assess the effectiveness of technique, to identify problem areas, and to guide and monitor improvement." "This is the first putting technology worthy of the new century, and should immediately find a place in every top golf school and in every professional player's arsenal."
Richard Drake (The Putting Academy): "I did some work with Joanne Mills from the Ladies European Tour in the winter on the SAM PuttLab. After about 15 years on Tour she is currently having one of her best years. She is in the top 20. 6th in birdies on tour and is currently joint 6th in the British Open."
Federica Dassu (Head-Coach and mentor for the Italian women's golf Federation) wrote: "We had a training camp in the south of Italy. The machine was well accepted by the players...some were totally enthusiastic about it!"
Chris Arthur – (PuttLab user): "I recently purchased a SAM PuttLab to improve my putting skills while out on the course for the next season, with the latest in this technology I have really improved on my short game. At first I tried to find a training school that had a SAM PuttLab for me to try and it was hard to find. After I tried it, there was no better way to learn how to putt with perfection than with this tool, so I brought one right away. Rule #1 if the school doesn’t have this tool (SAM) then it isn’t a training school. Every training facility in the world is left in the dark unless they have a SAM PuttLab. Try It, You’ll Buy It."
Gary Birch (PGA Professional, Vienna, Austria): "Hello SAM Team! Just wanted to inform you Christian along with your team, that this year was fantastic compared with the year previous, having introduced SAM PuttLab into our training facility 3 years ago, that this season we have had exceptional feedback from our students, and for our students we have established our best ongoing results when we concentrate on ONE POINT AT A TIME! After firstly establishing an overview with each student explaining the whats whys and wherefors with them and then setting out a program for each individual, it helps also having the SAM PuttLab on a permanent position so that our students are able to exercise by themselves, which in turn increases revenue because their practise alone evokes questions! Thanks once again for your great piece of equipment."
