The features

In all honesty, we probably wouldn’t get that excited about a putting mat normally. But we’ve made an exception with the Tour Roll PuttMatt. You’d be mistaken in thinking that this is just a big bit of artificial grass, so let’s look at the features…

• It’s an incredibly realistic practice putting surface – think mid-season well established green.
• Features ‘multi-directional synthetic turf loops’ to ensure that the ball never unnaturally deviates off-line – the closest thing to real grass you can get.
• Offers a whopping 10ft in length to practice a decent length putt.
• Perfect for also practicing short greenside chip & run shots (if you’re inside, for goodness sake, be careful).
• Comes with two ‘PuttCups’ – which is FatPlate’s most realistic shallow putting cup developed yet and provides true pace & line feedback – basically, if you don’t hit perfect pace, the ball will either lip-out or jump the back of the cup (see more details later on in this article)
• Provides a stimp pace of 11 (medium to fast pace) typical of most greens.
• Perfect for all skill levels – not just the seasoned Pro.
• Can be used both indoors and outdoors – grab some extra garage space for the winter months if you can!
• It’ll get you as close to a real-life golf green in your own home as you can (no need for pruning the grass to the nth degree anymore)
• Can be used in conjunction with a number of FatPlate’s other products such as PuttPlate, ArcMat, MirrorPlate & MirrorBoard.Sounds impressive. But we know what you’re thinking. What does ‘multi-directional turf loops’ even mean? Well, this is the sciencey bit and where FatPlate have spent a lot of time perfecting the art of replicating a true green feel. The multi-directional turf loops mean that when you roll a putt, the ball will always stay true to its line – and therefore, will not deviate or deflect by the direction of the synthetic turfs pile. Sounds simple, but a lot of have tried in the past and a lot of failed on this brief. FatPlate have nailed it.Also, they’ve spared no expense with the PuttCup either. It has been purpose designed with a ‘one and a half feet past-the-hole’ pace in mind, meaning that should your putt not ‘lip-out’ or jump the back of the cup, you’ve hit it at the preferred pace.Furthermore, the sloped ‘Capture Speed’ wall that surrounds the PuttCup provides a scientifically correct pace – meaning that any putt will lip-out in exactly the same way as it would on the course. Not bad for a synthetic grass mat with a hole.

  But what we really like about the PuttCup is that it offers everything that a putting hole would, but without the actual hole!

  Ok, so you’ve heard about what we’ve got to say, but let’s take a look at what FatPlate are saying about their product.

  ‘PuttMat gives you less to think about by making setup and stroke instinctive. On average, 9ft putts finish 25% closer to the hole after a 1-hour session.’

  You’ll have to wait for our feedback on this point, but the initial signs are good!
