Just got one from Amazon but it is too easy.  Anyone really like a particular model?

I got some green outdoor patio carpet at menards for $30 or so when I did mine. Works great.

Thanks, I'll go check Home Depot and Lowes (no Menards here).

There are two types, one that looks like it has plastic fibers and one that has more carpet looking fibers. I thought the carpet style one was better and it rolls very nice.

I've been using the SKLZ Accelerator that I got through Amazon as well.  Quite happy with it really, though I wasn't thrilled to discover my upstairs hall has a distinct break to the left.  Not the fault of the putting pad though, and practicing to a break is okay once you accept it.

I got the Puttist several months ago, it's not a true putting green but I use it quite a bit and I am pretty satisfied with my putting numbers.  The great thing about it is that you can hit up to 45 foot putts on it without having 45 feet of space/putting green!

On the cheap BirdieBall. Very realistic for a roll of foam, especially if it's the double thick one. I have two 4x8 in my basement. It's big enough to chip on.

I bought a Birdieball putting green. It's not a green, but instead it's a green piece of what looks like packing foam. I was completely underwhelmed by this cheap foam product.

I've seen some of the other ratings. Don't know what they're thinking, but these putting foam surfaces look like cheap green packing foam. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
