Not thrilled with mine and have gone back to the Big Moss. My BB has one long stretch where the grain is different than the rest and the ball slows dramatically when it hits that spot. Also, I did buy the strike mat after being told by BB that the green would be fairly receptive for chipping. Unfortunately the balls reacts as if it is hitting a frozen green (even with my 64*). The strike mat is of excellent quality however and will get some use outside.
Huh! I just thought that was the normal sound! Mine is on carpet, and it does make a louder noise than normal. On hard flooring it's different, you say?
Does it roll any faster or slower when it sits on carpet?
Looks like a 4x18. Still loving mine, and ended up putting a hole in the very middle and on the other end.My setup for now. No lefties allowed

What did you use to cut the hole?
It's slower when it sits on carpet. Still rolls pretty consistently...And no, the loud zipping sound doesn't exist on hard flooring.
What did you use to cut the hole?
Used a razor blade. Its not perfect but it works.
If you took a piece of wood (or even a ruler) and taped an exacto knife/blade to the end, then drilled a small hole at 2 1/8 '" away, you might be able to put a nail or pencil or in the hole and spin or walk the blade around to get a uniform circle cut. I don't know if this material would allow that or not.
Idk I've already cut two holes in it. Don't want to cut many more.
Got ya. I was thinking more of - for anyone doing it in the future. It would probably be easier to trace the circle & just cut it with a razor.
do you have to put it on a nice level surface?
I was considering buying one to put in my unfinished basement with a less than leveled floor. Would it be cool to be able to move it around and have some breaking putts or would it make the putting green unusable.
Thanks
It would work fine IMO as long as they were gradual breaks so they were realistic. As long as the green is stretched out so it can lay "flat", and not bunched up in any spots, it will roll well. And the only place I think you would have to worry about it bunching up is on carpet.
great thanks
whats the best place to buy them online? dou you know if there is any discount code i can use?

I've only seen them sold direct from birdieball. Sometimes they throw out coupon codes on Facebook or twitter. You could always tweet John at Birdieball and say you're with THP and see if he gives you a deal.
birdieball.com There are codes out there. If you send John a message on Twitter (BirdieBallUSA) and let him know that you're on the THP
forum and you'd like to purchase one, he may give you a code. I know he gave many of us a 30% off coupon...and you can upgrade it for free on the site when you're making the purchase as well. We can help walk you through it when time comes.
What they said
Not sure if this is a different product, but I've seen one on golf town canada's website and they seem to be cheaper than on birdieball's website...

on the web site it gets to about 105$ plus 60 bucks shipping versus 119 at golftown... I sure would rather buy from the source, but shipping is killing me
this is before applying any coupons though
