I came across this putting simulator a few weeks ago (
Exputt), and after reading and watching a bunch of reviews, I decided to buy one. I've enjoyed my golf simulator, but putting on it is basically nonexistent as the censors just can't handle it. You could tap the putt so lightly and it would sail 20 feet past the hole. I've resorted to changing the settings on it to guesstimate the amount of putts for me which is one of the options.
Therefore, after seeing this putting sim online, I thought it would be a good compliment to my other simulator. I was especially interested in it because I'm not a good putter and it's difficult for me to get a lot of practice putting in general.
It arrived today, and I have to say that it is pretty awesome. It takes literally 30 seconds to set up and works with any computer, TV, or screen through HDMI (no software downloads or installs required). It seems to be extremely accurate as it measures all the club and ball movements well. There's a practice mode which is basically just for distance work, and there is a challenge mode and 9 hole play (up to 4 players). Even my partner enjoys it and she doesn't particularly like golf, but it's just that easy and fun to play. She's asking me to find her a pink putter that she can buy so she has her own to play with now
There are some things that could be improved on it though: 1) There's no internet connection so no playing with people online. 2) There doesn't seem to be any available updates or add-ons coming in the future, so no new courses or anything like that. 3) It would be nice to have more options of specific distances to choose from (your options are 5', 10', 20', 30', 40', 50', however, if you select "random distance" instead of "fixed distance" and choose a max distance, you will be given any random distances up to the max distance you chose). However, these are not big issues for me.
Being able to practice putts up to 50 feet in your home using no more than about 4 feet of space is great. I've been fooling around with it for about an hour and I can already see improvements in my putting distancing. If anyone is in the market for a putting sim at home, I highly recommend Exputt.
