Indoor Putting Mat

[chazpet]

Hi everyone, I am finally moving into my own place, only problem is that it will have minimal access to golf courses. So I would like to purchase a basic putting mat so I can improve my stroke for the upcoming season. Are putting mats relatively close in speed to real (muni) greens? I have been looking at the two below, thanks for the advice!

i've also been trying to make a decision on a practice putting mat. i'm skeptical in the quality of anything under 75 bucks. if you want something just to mess around with as a game it might be worth it, but if you want a true roll without the wrinkles you might be better off spending a little more. tour links, big moss, michael breeds mats, are three i've looked in to. breeds mat look to be made by big moss.

 

i know this thread has come up plenty before, but curious if there are any new opinions or products out there.

 

if you have a hard surface beneath its going to roll faster and you are more likely to be able to stand on the mat while putting. if you're on carpet, it will stimp slower and you probably want to stand off the edge as the carpet would likely give beneath your feet creating curve.

I saw some good reviews on the Birdie Ball greens and see they have a cheaper option. The thing I like about the cheaper ones is the returning of the golf balls, but if these are of significantly better quality I can likely pass on that feature. They describe how they have different speeds, even into the grain/with the grain, would this be a better option?

Don’t let a fired up dog run across a Birdie Ball mat - trust me. ;-)

Luckily that carnage and ddetts’ thread led me to the Putt Out and accompanying mat. All I need.
