Abstract: A putting alignment system includes a lateral imaging alignment guide having a set of indicia, including an upper indicia, a lower indicia, a right indicia, and a left indicia. The lateral imaging alignment guide has a generally flat body that is configured to removably connect to a golf club shaft. A club lower distal tip reflector is configured for mounting on a distal tip of a golf club. A lateral imaging apparatus includes an imaging system. The imaging system has a main camera. The main camera captures and records motion of the lateral imaging alignment guide. A secondary alignment system includes a forward receiver sensor. The forward receiver sensor detects orientation of the club lower distal tip reflector when the club lower distal tip reflector is facing the forward receiver sensor.
