I have a 9ft long roll out green, which I haven't been overly excited about. Do most people just putt on their living room carpet or something more sophisticated?

That's not fair...

but I live on a golf course and I have a real green in my backyard.

I don't currently have anything. I'm looking for a large mat I can buy for this winter. Ideally it'd have a smaller hole (or at least an insert to create a smaller hole) and at least 9 to 10 feet of surface. It might be nice to mount a laser to it to really check alignment.

XBucky,

A friend gave me the Boomerang as a gift. I like it so much, I'm currently inquiring about stocking them in the store. It's cheap, it's a very fast surface, and you never have to retrieve golf balls. I love it! http://www.boomgolf.com/

i personally dont recommend putting on carpet, at least anything remotely thick. it reeked havok on my game a few years back after a long, cold winter. the next spring i had no feel, no distance control, and lost anything remotely close to "touch."
now i only putt on carpet to practice alignment and a consistent stroke. for me it can only be about that.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
