My on-course putting statistics took a turn for the worse—so I became committed to finding a fix. I was looking for a practice aid that I could use inside, at home. Initially I purchased a mat with an auto (motorized) ball return—and the motor quickly burnt out after several weeks of use. I found this SKLZ alternative which utilizes a gravity fed ball return. Assuming you have a level floor, the return works adequately—but I use several balls which tend to collect at the hole end of the mat. See photo. The alignment stripes on the mat help to “groove” a square strike and follow-through to the hole. The hole provided is regulation size and I found that with the guide lines it was (too) easy to sink putts. In order to improve my accuracy, I made an adjustment to the hole (based on the advice from other reviewers). I made an insert which fits into the hole decreasing it’s diameter to a little bigger than the size of a golf ball. Putts need to be much more accurate (line and speed) to go into the “modified” hole. Missed putts either enter a collection slot behind the hole and enter the gravity return track or roll up then down the ramp and return to the point of start. I also added a “backstop” to the mat behind the hole to prevent putts struck too firmly from overshooting the mat layout. (It was the backstop from the mat with the broken motorized ball return). I have been using the mat as much as time permits and I am finally seeing an improvement in my game. I have set a goal of 100 practice Putts a Day—which is relatively easy to achieve using the tool. And now I don’t worry about a motor burning out or my ball sticking in the return mechanism. I Putt, and Putt, and Putt some more. So far, I have been able to carry my routine, setup and “muscle memory” feel to the course. Three, five and seven foot putts are falling more regularly now. If only I had 40ft of living room floor to practice the longer ones (smile)!

The holes are slightly elevated from the rest of the mat. Collection area does good job at keeping errant putts from running away. Works well for getting putting practice in when can't get to range.

Such a great gift, especially for guys!

Just opened today and did about 100 puts while it was storming outside. I’d say I should be close to locked in at anything within 6ft. I’ll be back on the course in 5 days and I’ll update this review with how much this practice mat helped improve my game.

We mounted it and cut out on a piece of wood to study it up. The fabric is durable and stood up

No directions. Ball return rails will not stay together.

Love this item well constructed. Durable lays flat no bumps, true speed and looks great on my floor
