Which SAM technology feature do you rely on most in your coaching?
Welcome to the first edition of Voices of Putting – a new series where we share insights from top SAM Ambassadorsaround the world. This month’s focus: the SAM PuttLab features they trust most to guide and improve player performance.
Expert Insights from the Field
James Jankowski – Golf Monthly UK Top 50 Coach
“It’s hard to choose just one, but I use the 3D-Putt add-on of the SAM PuttLab very often. It allows me to demonstrate key concepts to players and shows how the putting stroke is reacting to the setup or mechanical adjustments we’re making.”

Rob Mouwen – European Putting Specialist
“I’ve used SAM PuttLab since 2007 because it’s incredibly reliable. It never crashes. I always start student sessions with it to quickly assess key putting data like aim at impact and putter movement. So I can quickly understand a student’s typical tendencies.”
Tyrus York – Golf Digest Best Young Teacher, KY
“The SAM PuttLab Professional Report is my go-to. It gives me all the data and lets me choose what’s relevant for each player. For higher handicaps, the 3D software really helps them understand their stroke visually”

“I use SAM PuttLab Live Training Mode and 3D-Putt visuals the most. Live mode gives valuable instant feedback for setup changes and stroke improvement. And 3D shows players what’s actually happening—not just what they feel.”
David Orr – Flatstick Academy Founder
“I focus on stroke fundamentals like Aim, Face Change, Direction, Path & Spot, Planes, and Rotation. These features form the foundation of how I assess and guide improvement.”
SAM Tip of the Month:
One of SAM PuttLab’s most powerful features is its ability to simultaneously integrate multiple layers of analysis with varying levels of complexity. The Competence Profile gives a quick, high-level assessment and scoring of a player’s technique and performance level. The Professional Report allows a precise inspection of all details, which is important for designing individualized and sustainable training sessions. 3D can then be used to visualize the findings to a student.
