Origin
WellPutt is an American brand that focuses on high-quality training aids that are suitable for every golfer. In recent years, WellPutt has grown into the market leader in the field of putting mats. In America, there are many golfers who are big fans of WellPutt. Including Jordan Spieth. But what makes WellPutt so special?
Innovation
WellPutt really stands for innovation. For example, they recently developed the Big Tilt. This is a putting platform where even the slope can be adjusted. The knowledge required for this shows that WellPutt really delivers high quality. Who knows, we at Golf Backyard may one day be able to offer that..!
App with exercises
In addition to this feat, they have developed an App for both iOS and Android that really comes in handy during practice. For example, when you open the App, you can choose from 3 difficulty levels to then start focused.
We recommend that you start at level 0 and first see what your level is. If you get close to a maximum score, move on to the next difficulty level. Do this daily and you will gain more consistency, confidence and feeling when it comes to putting.
In the following video a number of putting exercises are shown and you can indicate by means of the buttons whether the exercise was successful. This is the Orange course, the easiest. At a higher difficulty level you will mainly have to let the ball end up in a certain zone more than once.
Two punch speeds
What exactly does that mean: how higher the stimp, how faster the green.
The average Dutch golf course has a stimp of 8.3, a good course here in the Netherlands can achieve a stimp of 9.0 on a dry summer day.
KLM Open usually plays on a stimp of 10.5-11.0.
The WellPutt mats contain two stimp speeds; 10 and 11.5. This differs per side. WellPutt is the only putting mat that has incorporated this technology in their putting mats.
In addition, we always recommend having a putting mat that is too fast rather than one that is too slow.
Low wear
Many putting mats are a lot thicker and heavier, but not WellPutt! This has advantages and disadvantages, for example WellPutt is less suitable for a carpeted surface. Bumps are then quickly visible, but can be easily prevented by purchasing a sports mat and using it as a surface.
But the advantage of a thin putting mat is that there is hardly any wear. Thicker putting mats sometimes show a groove after putting several times. In general, you continuously putt through the middle, even if you do that on a green, a groove also appears, but with WellPutt less quickly than its competitors.
Alignment lines
On every WellPutt putting mat are so-called alignment lines, that will help you to better estimate the length of your putting movement. Furthermore, it ensures that you will immediately see whether your putting blade is open or closed.
In addition to the practice lines, there are also dots on each mat. These are exactly the size of a golf ball, make sure you place the ball on top of them, if you can no longer see the dot with your left eye, you have the optimal position to putt well from your arms.
Conclusion
