Has anyone used the puttist ? Looks like a really cool idea to ingrain distance control on your putts . It is a bit pricey though.

A $250 indoor putting mat? No sir.

Practicing 30' putts on a 5' putting mat doesn't sound like a barrel of monkeys if you know what I mean.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Agreed but if it ingrains distance control on putts between 5 to 45 feet it might be worth it. Not really sure how effective this thing is though.

I have looked at this device but that is a lot of cash for something without proof of it working. Already wasted a bunch of money on new technology P3Proswing. I read up on it that you need to enter the stimp of the greens you want to put on. I would be interested in hearing if anyone has seen their putting improve from using this device.

I have one and like it a lot.  I don't use it as much anymore but I still think it's a good idea and a cool product.  I don't know of anything else that you can use in a small indoor space that helps with putting distance control (although I think Pelz has some sort of device also).

You can get hundreds of reps of different length putts while in your living room watching the golf channel or a bowl game or whatever.

I didn't get the feeling that the Puttist guy was advertising, just responding informatively on a post that referenced his invention.  But you guys run a tight ship, and it is your ship after all.

I recommend checking out the thread that I started last year on the Puttist.  I continue to use it almost daily.  I love it.  It works great and is nice to have as an option when you cannot go outside because of the snow.  Regarding price, yes it's high but I bought mine on Ebay brand new for less than $200.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
