Anyone ever tried one of these?

Like an electronic dart board, The Putting Game puts a score on the precision of each putt (all putts are graded on a scale of 0 to 100 based on directional accuracy and speed). To make it fun the device presents a series of putting challenges (typically 5 putts in each challenge), totals the individual putt scores, and then presents a final score. These putting challenges (or games as we like to call them) make you focus and try your very best. The games raise the bar for you each time you play and enable you to measure your progress as time goes on.

What is this, a sort of putting mat? A video or computer game? Link?

Edit: Sounds awesome, like to know more.

Thanks.

Looks cool, but that's damn pricey! My whole bag didn't cost a whole lot more than that!

Interesting, if it were cheaper, I'd definitely get it. I could see myself getting into it and spending an hour at a time practicing. Just rolling balls on the carpet usually only keeps me interested for a few putts.

Did anybody watch the pretty long video that demonstrates the games?

My first thought was that it was really wierd and meaningless to stand 5 feet away and imagine hitting to a cup 20 feet away on a 12.5 stimp green. Then I realized it would actually let you practice hitting to different distances - ie - harder or softer - it doesn't really matter what you visualize. Some of the games, especially the last one, seem like they would be helpfull. Some others, like "diminishing cup", which is supposed to simulate pressure situations, I'm not so sure about. I guess it would come down to whether or not the unit made putting practice fun enough to effect the amount of practicing I do.

Too much of a gamble for >$300, though . . .if it were cheaper, I'd give it a go.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
