Having the need to practice my putting I brought a SKLZ Accelerator Pro Ball Return Putting Mat to see if it would help.
Well first thing I noticed was the quality build and the overall excellence of the design. The turf felt almost real which was a great relief as I wanted the surface to feel as realistic as possible, so I could get in to the putting mode. It was fully transportable too so I could have used it in my office or home. Great alignment tools and a gravity fed ball return made practicing putting a dream.
Considering you use the putter more than any other club in your golf bag - I'll explain why I rate this Mat.
Why I like this Golf Putting Mat
- It's a top quality build with the materials adding value to the overall design.
