junior lefty
High School Golfer
It finally came!!! After a week and a half of waiting, I found it waiting on my front porch. I ordered it two Fridays ago, they sent information to FedEx last Monday, and it finally shipped Monday. Of course it only took two days to ship instead of three. Oh, and don't worry, I'll be updating with pictures in a couple hours but right now I have homework.
First Impressions: When I first unrolled it, I immediately noticed the color. The whole thing was colored a nice semi dark shade of green. Not blue or only the top of the green like other videos indicate. I ordered the 9' by 16" and upgraded to 9' by 2' for free. I also noticed 12 free birdieballs, a big plus.
Unrolling: No problems here, almost completely rolled flat within two minutes with no weight on it and after about 30 minutes with weight it is flat!
Feel: It feels just a tiny bit plasticy (haha) but rolls true like a real practice green. A little faster than courses I'm used to (10-11 stimp).
Putting: My feet don't sink in much because I'm a junior. No bumps or creases everywhere. The cups are a minor issue but I already knew this. I ordered on the fifth of November and so I get new, interlocking cups that stick out of the ground. I've tried the yellow and black ones, but I decided not to put them in on hardwood. It sounds solid when it hits the ground and it doesn't bounce out much. Since I'm a "die in" putter, this helps me tell when I've have the perfect speed and it doesn't slide out. 9' is much longer in person than when you measure the floor.
For $40 including shipping, it is a great buy.
On to the Birdieballs. These things are amazing! :act-up:
I hit about 10 full wedge shots across the street and they drew just like my real ball does in real life. It also makes a cool turbine noise when you hit it. Maybe not worth $25 a dozen, but free is a great price. :wink:
All in all this is a great buy and I would suggest this product to anyone looking for a nice cheap putting green.
Don't worry, pictures are coming later today hopefully.
