I like it for both. Only thing with indoor is that it won’t be secured with tees like you would get with outdoor use. If you want to use it as a gate it would be outdoor.

Great question. I have the wellputt wellstroke mat where you put tees along the stroke arc, and each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Ease of use and setup go to the wellstroke. The wellstroke has a line running through it, so once you find the line lay it down and then roll a few, make adjustments and put your tees in and you are good. The downside is that on some putts you may get off track and miss a tee and not know it, it’s rare but could happen from time to time. Now this is just for me, but with it my stroke would get a lot of arc and my face would really open and close, I had the standard arc for reference. When it comes to true stroke I love that they are solid one piece design. When I first started I used them as a gate and teed them in and would run the putter along the rail to get a feel that my stroke really needed. Now I set them wide enough to miss them, and they are solid so there is no cheating this, if my stroke is off I feel it. The negative that I keep coming back to is setup is cumbersome. These pieces are bulky, and trying to get everything on the putting green is a task. It’s not something I would feel comfortable using before a tournament on a crowded green. Unless I make a ghost hole somewhere out of the way. Aiming it on something that is not a straight putt takes some work, but with time I have gotten better. But to me performance has been so much better with the true stroke, and it does exactly what it claims, more straight back straight through and better face control. I don’t think I have ever had this much confidence in my putting, dare say with more time and work I might be a good putter.

I was rolling the ball very well today. My pro came out to check my putting, and said me draining 10 footers was too easy. So we move back to 20 feet to work on speed, which is a huge weakness for me. He set up a tee about a foot and a half behind the hole, and if I leave it short or hit it past the tee I have to start over. It should not have been as hard as I made it, but by the end I made 5/12 and the others were less than a foot each from the hole.

Loving the results I am seeing on the course!! I am averaging a half stroke better a round currently, and the wind and greens have not cooperated at all. Still having some struggles with setup and ease of use. Rain has ruined on the practice green pictures and video opportunities. I do have some insights that I am doing with mine that I am interested to see if others think it’s a good idea or if I’m just ocd.

I went early to the course today, to get some more work with the Tour Stroke. It did not disappoint. Although setup is not as easy as I would like it does make me a better putter. It started raining so I had to cut it short. I did get the 10 putts from 10 feet. Much better results this time. 3 makes and total misses added up to 5’4”!!! Thunderstorms are headed this way, but I am hoping to get some videos this week.

Yes, lots of room for improvement on speed control.

So I’ll start and post my scores from my 10 putts from 10 feet. It was not pretty. 0 makes The total distances from my misses was 12’4”. I did have two lip outs, so that was a plus.

Been a heck of a week at work, but getting a little putter therapy in this evening. I used to hate putting, but I’m slowly starting to enjoy it. I gotta get ready for this competition!!

I got out and played today, and I gained 0.2 strokes compared to scratch handicap, which is where I am trying to get to. I gained 1.3 strokes compared to 4 handicap. I had 4 one putts, 13 two putts and 1 three putt. I made a 30 and 23 footer today!!! I really had a poor approach and short game day, I could not hit it close, but my putting was very solid for all but one hole which was more of a mental issue.

This is how I felt today, even in the 20mph winds I felt like inside 10 feet I wasn’t going to miss.

Let’s go!!!

My first impression has been added. I got out again today, but it was very windy. Even in the wind, I felt like I could not miss after 10 minutes of putting through the gates.

So I am just eyeballing the rails, but I think there is something to this training aid. It is really exposing my inside takeaway. I had my best putting round today in over my last 15 rounds. I am having so many more one putts, and way less 3 putts. In just the short time of having it, I can see a major improvement on my start line. I have been rolling about 50-100 putts a day with it, and I can’t wait to see how this does long term.

Quick update, working on a more in depth unboxing. Anyone else having difficulty keeping the spacer bars in the grooves while adjusting alignment?

Yesterday, I went to the course in hopes of getting 9 in, but the students are back in town. I went to the back of the range so I could just focus on my session. I have been hitting it good, but I wanted to really focus on my ball position and distance from the ball. I get the ball to forward and stand too far away at times. Both of these really helped me get better compression that I have been searching for all year. It was going good, but I was still having to “work” in the downswing. So I figured it was time to stop putting off working on my sway that kills me. I felt at setup like I am stepping on the inside of my right foot, and then maintain it in the downswing then push from there. This was phenomenal!!! I was getting effortless swings that was penetrating the wind and going so straight. I didn’t need to work in my downswing, it was fun to feel those swings. It is definitely something that I can build on going forward.
