Putting at home

[jplkorea83]

I used to have one of those automatic return putting machines and was thinking of getting another. Would you say these are better or worse than putting matts?

both are the devils playthings

Get two, put one at either end of a long flat surface...

Insert golf ball...

Perpetual motion machine

I don't tend to bother with mats. I have a mirror and this http://www.yesgolf.co.uk/item_77.htm Just try to make a good stroke without worrying about anything else

I think as Homer says as long as you concentrate on the stroke putting at home is fine. Just don`t get into the habit of concentrating on pace or it will cause more problems than its worth when you hit the greens.

I have found that a round cardboard disk is just as good. Take 6 balls and putt to the disk at the far end of the carpet - must go beyond it (hence better than the return thing that I also have) but must stop before the end of the carpet so getting a bit of distance control. If it goes over the disk it is in the hole:thup:

I last about 10 repeats before HID goes mad although I have found it better (safer) not to ask her to score my efforts and pass the balls back

I used to do this with a 10p coin from 3, 6 and 9 feet. A click meant a perfect putt as the ball hit the coin.

As i got better my wife threatend to snap my V-Easy as I tended to do it while she watched TV.

Man I miss those good old days in my old flat.
