The main text book for the ZGA Putting School is the “ZGA Putting Workbook: Fastest Track to Excellent Putting”.
For the advanced players looking for ‘graduate’ work after the ZGA Putting School, James Sieckmann’s excellent book “Your Putting Solution” provides the best explanations of the modern art of putting with some very detailed background and a ton of specific drills for testing/practice.
