Sorry if there is a post regarding this already, I did a quick search and did not see anything or if I posted this in the wrong place, please feel free to move if need be.

Question:  I have an old putting mat that is showing it's wear and tear and I want to replace it.  I just ran across the 4.25" Infinity Putting Mat for $118.00 on Amazon.  It has 3 different cup sizes that I like and it looks like it could be a decent item to practice putting indoors with over the frigid winters that strike Minnesota.  Roughly 10' long with an incline at the end to the cup, standard size cup and 2 smaller cups to utilize.

Please let me know if you have any experience regarding this mat, good or bad or if you have a putting mat that you would like to recommend.  Size of the mat does not matter as I can set it up in our warehouse and take it down as needed.  Cost, not in the market for some of those practice greens that are in the thousands of dollars.  I would like to keep the price under $300.00.   And a bonus if it works outside.

I will check back and see what anybody may post as I am at work now or later at the range.  Thank you in advance for your opinions and thoughts, I really do appreciate it.

This one? Looks okay.

Honestly, a strip of thin carpet can do the job, too. It doesn't have to be green.

Yes that one and there is another one that has a rotating cup with 3 different sizes.

:-) @iacas thanks for just shooting this grand idea down :-) "a strip of thin carpet" now what kind of fun is that.  Practical advice...

Sorry! :-)

You can send me the extra money you saved. I'll do something appropriate with it. :-) I'll even send you a few copies of LSW;-)

@iacas @p1n9183 what do either or both or you think about adding https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HY44V3M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2GHQV0QWA5W50&psc=1 this to that piece of carpeting I need to get to practice putting on?

In case the link does not work it is the Dead Zero Putting Disk.  It intrigues me.

I putt to a Gatorade bottle cap, if you hit it the ball will go in a real hole unless the pace it`s too fast and you hit it on the edge.. It`s important to aim for a smaller target, but you don`t need to purchase anything.

I do something similar, I usually putt to anything I can find that is smaller than an actual hole. bottle caps, water bottles, deck of cards, my ball mark repair tool, my ball marker, etc.

OK OK you win - you have saved me so much money I will order LSW :-) 

hmm now let me think with all the money saved from actually great advice from all on this I can afford LSW and what new club.  Maybe that 4 Hybrid

I really appreciate what everyone has stated, it all does make sense and at times as a golf gear nut I can get so wrapped up in getting that perfect golf aid that common sense does go out the window, or I just miss the obvious. 

As I sit here typing this I am reminded about the last time I was at the putting green working on my chipping, I tossed a golf ball out on the green as my target and many times I select that spot on the green to chip into as I would out on the course.

Thanks again

    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
