It is very interesting to see that everyone with the grey putting mat is having the same issue.  I wonder if the green mat is doing the same?

I'd also be curious if it's more of an issue with the grey mat than the others, especially seeing the pics Cam sent were of the green mats. Anyone have any insight?

I have a green one and it has a groove. Hit a double breaker within the groove yesterday. 

Bummer.  Thanks for the update, though.

Took my PuttOut to the church yesterday afternoon. I wanted to see if I could make a really long perfect putt.

I had three sleeves of balls with me, and @Kirke. We began by alternating shots, and he went first, so I took 4 attempts. Then he did all nine, and I started a set of all nine. On the eighth ball, this happened:

I think my reaction is as much surprise as anything else; I went into this expecting that I probably wouldn't get a perfect on video, just because it's so challenging.

That's a great video and both of your reactions were priceless. That carpet looked fast and it didn't look like the ball was going to make it. Was that the Cleveland putter with the homemade shaft?

This one was with the Odyssey EXO Indianapolis with the homemade shaft. I like the Cleveland a lot, even more with the shaft change, but the EXO beat all comers in my putter challenge and is my go-to stick for the near future.

Got the PuttOut and practice mat for Christmas! I'll check back later when I wear the groove into the mat. Spent about 45 minutes practicing that afternoon and only missed the cup once. First time through I averaged 4-5 putts from each distance before making a perfect putt. (You guys didn't say the perfect putt was much harder from the longer ranges 😜)

Hey testers,  I currently use my putt out on just the carpet (not really good) or on my old skilz putter matt (I just set it up before the ramp to the hole on that).  Since you all seemed to run into some issued with the put out mat, is there anything you guys have tried to recommend as a better solution?

Thanks!

Yeah! .. amongst many fun presents I got a Putt Out and a Putt Out mirror from my honey (already have a basic putting mat) .. looking forward to many hours of grooving my putting stroke!

Thanks testers for all the useful feedback, including about their mat.

Started practicing with the Putt Out and mirror; set it up for a 3 footer (ball to center of cup). First thing I noticed was my eyes were a bit over/outside the line, so I was standing a bit too close.

Second thing - and am curious as to others' perceptions on this - is for the ball to stick in the micro hole I have to hit the ball a lot easier/softer than I normally would at this distance.

Or put another way: for a given distance the Putt Out seems to be calibrated to a faster green speed than i normally play on (normally play at muni courses).

Anyone else "feel" a similar result?

Regardless, i can see it's going to be really helpful in continuing to groove my putting stroke!

This is one of the best golf tools I have ever purchased. Got the puttout as soon as it was available in the US when it first came out. Has definetly helped me with the short game. Then adding the mat just makes it that much better. Really like the foot markings and line up markings. One of the best products ever. Really looking forward to getting the putting mirror and gates. Got one for my dad for christmas as well. He definitley needed help with his putting. Haha

LOL, I know this reply is months late... but I just saw the thread after someone revived it.

Yes, in order to hit the micro target, I definitely have to shorten my putting stroke. Even with my normal stroke, having the ball come back 1ft is still OK for me.

But what I do (or did before the shutdown) was to just take the cup and use it on real practice greens. It then felt much closer to the speeds I'm used to.

Ok good, thx for that. I'd also .. intended .. to take it to a practice green but have not gotten the chance yet; definitely will in the future to test my speed calibration!

Just had my Pressure Trainer show up today and set it up on my mat in the basement. I am feeling the same pain. The quick speed on the mat makes the ball roll back almost to me on a 4ft putt.

The courses around here are open for play only, no practicing. I'll be curious as things settle down and open up more to use the trainer on the practice green to help with pace.

Not necessarily .. hitting it "perfect", from any distance, is definitely difficult. That's why it's a great trainer!

And, hey, it's possible a high percentage of those 100 putts would've dropped 🙂

Hey MGS! I just picked up a mat and disc and love it so far. However, I do have one question/comment/though and I apologize if this has been answered...

I was using the SKLZ putting mat before and got rid of it because I realized on the course everything was going LONG and I think that is because I am used to hammering it up the ramp when I am practicing. I loved the idea that how far the balls rolls back with the puttout is how far it would have gone by the hole if I missed. However, this is where my concern comes in. Is that actually accurate? I doubt it because if I just barely tap the ball from 3 feet, it comes back like 2 feet and I just have a hard time believing. 

Am I overthinking this?

If you use the disc on a real green then it's more realistic. The gate, mirror and target are good aids, but the mat screwed with my tempo big time. I think I described it in my review.

Alright back again with another question! I thought I was putting lights out but realized I have the groove after a solid 12 hours of owning a mat! 

I saw PuttOut's response, but it didn't help. Has anyone had success getting rid of the groove? 

If not, time to return it. Bummer.

Just returned mine because of the groove. Do they all get the groove or is it just some of the mats? The amazon reviews are through the roof and I can't image they would be if everyone got the groove...
I just cant find another mat as compact as that one so I am bummed! 

I see a lot of comments across golf forums about the groove.

The best way to fix the groove is to put a steel ruler on top of the mat and putt on that instead, using the lines for alignment and the putt out hole to return the ball to you. 😜
