The provision of such information is favourable only if it is reliable. A cost-effective golf putting monitoring device namely the Putt.It.In was developed for analysing a golfers’ putting performance. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the reliability of the instrument in measuring the backswing distance, front swing distance, clubhead speed, ideal front swing distance and swing angle. Methods: A semiprofessional golfer (30 years of age ± 5.0 years’ experience) executed four strokes repeatedly from a distance of 2 m and 1 m using a Ram Zebra Mallet putter on a PGM golf mat. The intra-class correlation (ICC) coefficient is employed to test the reliability of the device whilst the Kolmogorov/Smirnov test was utilised to further reaffirm the reliability of the application in measuring the aforementioned parameters over test re-test between first two strokes of 2 m distance and the last two strokes of 1 m distance. Results: The ICC reveals 0.98 and 0.96 for both test 1 and 2, as well as a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.99 and 0.96, respectively suggesting excellent consistencies in the overall observations. Moreover, the Kolmogorov/Smirnov test re-test indicates that there is no significant difference between the first two 2 m strokes p > 0.05, and subsequent two 1 m strokes p > 0.05 highlighting its ability to recognise the pattern of the strokes applied in the four successive strokes. Conclusion: The Putt.It.In monitoring device is found to be reliable in measuring the backswing distance, front swing distance, clubhead speed, ideal front swing distance and swing angle.
