Last month we introduced you to a new retail store called The Indoor Golf Shop and with colder weather upon us, for many of us that means finding a way to practice indoors. Introducing EXPUTT RG.
Putting practice has always been one area where working from home has been able to take place, but EXPUTT RG is going to take it to a level previously unheard of.
The practice mat is not a new concept. We have done reviews on dozens of them hitting every price point imaginable. Over the years it seemed as though the technology side (launch monitors, camera systems, etc) and the putting side (materials, speed, etc) were working independently. EXPUTT RG ends that and seamlessly puts it all together in one of the most innovative packages at this price point we have seen to date.
While the original EXPUTT was fantastic, it needed to be hooked up to a TV or monitor where as the new RG model can connect wirelessly to many devices including your cell phone. A fully portable putting simulator.
Bring the Green to Life, Right in Your Living Room.
Easy to set up and simple to use, EXPUTT RG uses a high-speed camera and motion-tracking software to analyze your putting stroke mechanics and ball roll. Just lay out the putting mat and plug in the high-speed camera and you’ll be on the green in no time.
Instant Feedback
Hone your putting stroke mechanics using the detailed data from each putt you make, including analysis on ball speed, putter head direction, and clubface angle.
Compete Online
Challenge yourself and improve your short game by competing online against other users all over the world in a variety of game modes.
Real Course Greens, Real Improvement
Improve your short game on your favorite course, playing on greens from the comfort of your living room. With new course greens added all the time, the EXPUTT RG is the only putting practice aid that allows you to practice on actual greens from well known courses.
Wi-Fi Enabled
Now being Wi-Fi enabled, the EXPUTT RG can receive automatic software updates, ensuring your system is always up-to-date with the latest software.

Really like the looks
Super interesting though.
I have not tried it, but based on what I learned, this new version works really well. It was tested by our friends at the Indoor Golf Shop before carrying and they are pretty rigorous in this.
I think this could be perfect for you.
I believe the sale runs through cyber Monday.
Looking forward to your thoughts
That price is for the original EXPUTT, not the new version which is featured here. The Indoor Golf Shop has the best price we have seen with this coupon on the new version.
To start with, my goals for this are to use it at least 3 times a week until our season opens up in the spring. I’m really hoping it can help with speed control. ShotScope data shows 61% of my putts come up short and I can tell you that if I miss long, I blow it by the hole. I’m averaging 34 putts per round. I’m thinking that if I can get the speed down, that may eliminate some 3-putts.
I’m also interested in my putting stroke. Based purely on what I think and feel, I believe a straight back, straight through stroke works best for me. Every time I try to putt with an arc, I miss to the right. I believe that has to be because I’m not getting the face back to square. I also don’t know which stroke type fits my putter, a Never Compromise Gambler Straight. Can’t wait for Christmas!

one thing I am really liking is having the controls on the putting mat. You just place your putter on an arrow to move your aim point in that direction, place it on the question mark to get some info about the putt you are about to hit, or place the putter on the H to get a ground level view from behind the putt.
I’ve mostly been doing the Classic mode with straight putts to purely work on speed control, but you can slope those putts as well if you want to. The online Multi mode is a bit lacking, only because of the lack of players. When I looked, there were only 3 matches and no open spots for me to play. You can play Multiplayer at home if you have friends over though, which is cool. I don’t recall what the final mode is called, but that allows you to pick any green on any of the available courses and put the pin anywhere on that green. I’ve messed with that just a little bit, but it is cool.
So far, I’m happy with the purchase and will definitely try sticking to my 3x a week usage goal. During my next practice session, I will get some pictures of the post-session analysis.

Price is a little high but if it works well, might be worth it. My interest is piqued.
So much better than putting on a plain mat. I’m very happy so far and I don’t think I’ve hit a single putt that went way off from where I thought it should go.
Happy Hour zoom calls during Multi player games could get interesting.
Yes indeed! Get @xThor hooked on it and will be fun for all. ?
Spyglass Hill greens are no joke. I struggled big time in a multiplayer match.
Oh I believe it, 3 putt central!
