Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a putting stroke analysis device for analyzing a putting stroke technique of a golfer. The putting stroke analysis device comprises a planar surface with a plurality of infrared emitters and co-operating infrared sensors thereon. A golfer swings their putter over the planar surface, above the plurality of infrared emitters and co-operating infrared sensors. An infrared beam, emitted by the infrared emitters, is reflected by the putter and is detected by one or more of the infrared sensors. The putting stroke analysis device has a processor which receives information from the co-operating infrared sensors and processes the information to determine putting characteristics of the putting stroke technique.
