Your arc, your face
The LSR CUSTOM P1·P5 is made to your own stroke. It marks where the putter should be at P1 in the backswing and P5 in the through-swing: face, heel, toe and path. Mine is built from my arc of 12.3° per metre, so 267 mm back the face sits 3.27° open to the line with the head centre 11.0 mm inside it, and 267 mm through it sits 3.27° closed with the head centre 4.3 mm inside.
Equipment required

- 1LSR ZERO·ZERO GATE

Set up
Step 1Snap the lineChalk line from the hole out to 12 ft.
Step 2Line up the gateStandard LSR ZERO·ZERO GATE on the chalk line at 10 ft.
Step 3Mark P0Chalk pen through the centre slot. This is where the face sits at address.
Step 4P1·P5 on P0Set the plate aside and put the left P0 slit of the LSR CUSTOM P1·P5 on the P0 mark.
Step 5Mark P1Chalk pen through the P1 slot: face line and the centre-of-arc path dashes, 267 mm back, head centre 11.0 mm inside the line.
Step 6Slide to P5Slide the P1·P5 along the line until the right P0 slit sits on the P0 mark. No turning.
Step 7Mark P5Chalk pen through the P5 slot: face line and the centre-of-arc path dashes, 267 mm through, head centre 4.3 mm inside the line.
Step 8Head gatePlate back on P0 and pins in the head slots.
Step 9Ball gate on the widest settingMove the plate to 5 ft and set the pins on the widest setting, 90 mm (3.54 in) total width, centred on the chalk, then lift the plate off. That is a 0.89° start window with 23.7 mm of room each side of the ball, so the focus stays on the face and the arc.
The drillRoll it on your arc: face matching the P1 mark and the head centre over the centre-of-arc dashes at the top of the backswing, the same at P5 through, and into the hole.
