Putt Confidently Champ Cap – Introduction
Are you committed to getting better at your disc golf putting?
Do you recognize that, like so many disc golfers, if your putting could only improve, you would score significantly better?
After all, what good is lacing a gap and putting it within 25 feet if you can’t convert?
If this sounds like you, and you actually want to put in the work and have the right mindset (more on this later), then the Champ Cap from Putt Confidently is a great tool to help you improve your putting stroke.
Let’s look into it!
Assembly, Durability and Fit
The Champ Cap from Putt Confidently couldn’t be easier to “assemble”. It comes with simple to attach (and detach) “bungie ball hooks” (see photos), that allow you to quickly and easily put the Champ Cap on your practice basket at home in no time at all.
And while not all baskets are made to the same size specifications, the Champ Cap certainly attaches to most and allows you to focus in on the heart of the basket. I’ve tried it on a lot of different baskets and had no trouble attaching it and using it.
Finally, the Champ Cap is made from hearty canvas and is reinforced with plastic tubing to ensure it does what it was intended to do (basically, to reject “iffy” putts).
It’s nice and durable and held up to a battery of tests over an extended time with limited to no wear.
Now that the quality is well-established, let’s look into whether it helps you improve your putting.
Does The Champ Cap Help You Improve Your Putting?
Does the Champ Cap help you improve your putting?
In short, yes, but only if you use it correctly. This is where the mentality and approach piece comes into play. Let me explain…
When you start practicing with the Champ Cap, you have to be ready to miss more putts than you are used to. Logically, this makes perfect sense. You just made the target significantly smaller so of course you will miss more.
But sometimes this logic isn’t so comforting and people get frustrated. If the frustration then leads to abandonment of the product and the practice, then the tool becomes counterproductive.
But, if on the other hand, you can accept these terms and sacrifice short term success for long-term improvement, then this is where the true benefits of the Champ Cap come into play.
We’ve all heard the expression for putting of “aim small, miss small”. The Champ Cap is the physical embodiment of that phrase. You are forced to narrow your target and focus in on that reduced landing zone. And as you do that more and more with this product, you develop a habit that translates to the course.
That’s when you see the big gains in your score.
Champ Cap Mentality Continued..
We already discussed how you have to persevere through the early increase in missed putts to see results.
The other element, I would say, is that you have to commit to the new “rule” of the Champ Cap.
A miss is a miss.
It’s very tempting (believe me I know!) to start to rationalize while you are practicing. “Oh, that would have gone in on a regular sized basket, so no big deal.”
I think this is the wrong mentality for this product. You may have been right. That putt might have gone in on a regular basket. But when you are using the Champ Cap, you have to commit to the idea that a miss off the canvas counts just as much as when you miss the basket completely.
Once you have established those rules, and you take out the rationalizations and justifications, that is truly when you get results and see your putting improve.
The 2-Stroke Promise
Putt Confidently is so certain that their Champ Cap will help you improve, that they have a money-back guarantee in place for you.
Essentially, the guarantee goes like this: Practice with the Champ Cap for 60 days, and if you don’t shave 2 strokes off your score, they’ll refund your money. (You can read their specific wording here).
Companies don’t do this if they don’t believe in their products.
Personally, if I’m on the fence about something, a guarantee like that is usually enough to tip me towards making the purchase. But let’s see how I faired with my own 60-day challenge with the Champ Cap.
Did The Champ Cap Help Improve My Putting?
Putt Confidently kindly sent me their Champ Cap to review. Upon receiving it, I went ahead and took the 60-day challenge.
And, in the interest of transparency, given my life situation (teacher with newborn child) I have exactly zero rounds played in those 60 days to compare to. In other words, I can’t say for certain how many strokes I took off my game.
But, that doesn’t mean I didn’t keep statistics. I keep stats on everything!
And just so I don’t bury the lede, the Champ Cap absolutely helped me improve my putting!
I went up by 2 – 5 strokes in makes from 20, 25, and 30 feet.
In addition, on my misses, “air balls” went practically to zero.
To me, this illustrates that the tool is doing what it was intended to do. It’s helping me hone in on the heart of the basket, and is making my misses smaller.
That’s going to result in more putts made on the course. And yes, when the Champ Cap is removed some of those “misses” will find the basket as well.
I can see why they put the 2-stroke promise in place…

Putt Confidently’s Champ Cap – In Summary
Bottom line: If you are willing to put in the time, The Champ Cap is going to help you improve your putting.
By narrowing in on the heart of the basket, where misses are rare, you are going find chains much more consistently out on the course.
You are also going to gain confidence and the muscle memory that will help you succeed as well.
In the end, this will result in more made putts and lower scores on the course.
In addition, they have resources and tools to help you level up even more. 2 strokes could just be the beginning!
Commit to your putting with the Champ Cap and watch those strokes drop from your score.
Putt Confidently guarantees it, and I can see why.
