I don't sign off on stuff very easily... but this pathpal is absolutely fantastic.
Alignment sticks alone are useful, but the pathpal takes them to a new level.
Loose alignment sticks are useful but they're easy to set up differently every session. The pathpal turns them into a repeatable training station by locking them into precise angles, giving you more consistent setups, clearer feedback, and more purposeful reps every time you practice.
The difference isn't sticks vs. no sticks. It's repeatable practice vs. starting over every time.
Shop pathpalFrom path and contact to putting and smarter practice, the pathpal turns random reps into structured reps.
Train the inside-to-square path that helps reduce slices, pulls, and over-the-top swings.
Use physical feedback to groove cleaner ball-first strikes and better low-point control.
Build start-line control and stroke shape with a repeatable putting setup.
Use Drill Vault guidance so every range session has a plan, not just hope.
Pick a path, contact, putting, or short-game drill from the Drill Vault.
Lock your alignment sticks into the precise position for the drill.
Get physical feedback when your path or contact is off.

Every feature is designed to help you practice with more precision, consistency, and purpose.
Dial in repeatable training positions from 20° to 90° without guessing, eyeballing, or constantly resetting. Lock your stick into the exact angle a drill calls for — every single rep.
Why it matters
Use the two pieces together as a single training station, or separate them for backswing and downswing-specific drills. One product, multiple training setups.
Why it matters
Let the club pass through naturally and feel exactly when your path is off, your strike is thin, or your low point isn't where it should be. The tunnel doesn't lie.
Why it matters
Train driver, irons, wedges, short game, and putting with one compact system that goes anywhere — range, mat, green, indoor net.
Why it matters
Every purchase of the pathpal includes access to the Drill Vault — step-by-step drills designed to help you know exactly what to work on, every time you practice. From path correction to putting consistency, you'll always have a plan.

The pathpal helps you train the swing path and contact patterns commonly used to reduce slices. Like any training aid, results depend on consistent practice but the pathpal gives you a repeatable setup so you're not guessing at the same drill every session.
Alignment sticks are a great starting point, but they're easy to set up differently every time. The pathpal locks your sticks into 14 fixed training angles, so your station is identical every session. It also includes ground tunnels for path and contact feedback that loose sticks can't provide.
Yes. The pathpal works for putting start-line training, stroke shape consistency, and setup repeatability. The split-base design lets you create putting-specific stations.
Yes. The pathpal is designed to work on grass, range mats, indoor practice mats, and putting greens. It's portable and weather-resistant.
Single pathpal ($100): one pathpal unit + Drill Vault access
Pro Bundle ($120): one pathpal unit + the arrow (two padded, foldable sticks) + Drill Vault access
Complete Training System ($175): the pathpal, the arrow, and the truestrike + Drill Vault access
All orders include the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Depends. If you buy the bundle it comes with the arrow alignment sticks. Otherwise, if you order just the pathpal you would need to bring your own alignment sticks. Most golfers already have a pair, but if you don't, they're inexpensive and widely available.
There are two versions of the pathpal, one that accommodates 'driveway markers' (the kind you would get at Home Depot, Lowes, or any home improvement store). The other version will fit golf alignment sticks with a plastic or rubber tip.
The Drill Vault is a library of step-by-step drills designed to help you know exactly what to work on every time you practice. It includes drills for path, contact, putting, and short game. Access is included with every purchase of the pathpal. The Drill Vault is visible to everyone, but when you purchase the pathpal you can obviously use your devices to recreate the drills.
Yes. The pathpal is fully compatible with left-handed golfers. The symmetrical design works the same for both setups. In fact, the owner of pathpal golf is left handed and he originally designed this to help his game.
The pathpal includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, contact us within 30 days of receiving your order for a full refund of the device cost minus the cost of shipping the device back.
Absolutely. The pathpal is compact and portable and easy to bring to the range, take to the course, or use in your home practice space.
Build a more repeatable swing with feedback you can actually feel.
