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.
Head over to their website and check out more details on this brand new edition of the EXPUTT right here.





This looks like a really interesting offering.
This is insanely cool!
Really like the looks
It’s a good thing I’m saving for my golf trip, because I would love to have that.
This looks really cool. I will have to do some more digging on this. My putting game could certainly use some work, so I’m curious about how this would help.
I like the ability to use without a TV, adds to the usability of this for more convenient locations.
That looks like an amazing concept that has such a small potential for successful implementation.
Super interesting though.
Really generous special there for us, and a pretty nifty device there on top of it
This sounds pretty cool. Really is not priced that high
This seems really really cool. This is something I would need to try before I buy though.
Sounds like an awesome innovation, would be cool in the man cave.
Pretty cool device and concept here.

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.
Interesting. It could be the Peleton of putting.
Very interesting in concept and in application.
This is pretty darn cool!
Hmm. Interesting.
This has my attention, looks really good if it performs as intended.
Really interesting concept. Not sure it will feel on watching the screen only to see the ball move versus the actual ball. I mean on putts that’s break either way. Same with speed.

I think this could be perfect for you.

I believe the sale runs through cyber Monday.
:love::unsure:
Good unboxing video of it from Indoor Golf Shop here.

This looks really cool!
This is pretty cool. I like the idea but still a little pricy for my taste.
The discount code doesn’t seem to be working. I wonder if it’s because of their current sale on the unit. Sale price plus free shipping is still a good deal. I’ll be ordering one at some point this weekend.
Don’t buy it from shop indoor, the product is $399, Google it and buy it from anywhere else including golf galaxy, dicks, etc
Just pulled the trigger on this from the Indoor Golf Shop. Unfortunately, the wife thinks it should be a Christmas gift since she never knows what to get me, so actual use is a ways out. I have some goals in mind as far as putting, mainly better speed control and less putts per round (34 currently). I can certainly provide an ongoing review here unless another thread opens up.

Looking forward to your thoughts
@Bobby
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.
Indoor putting practice is about to look a whole lot different over here! At least when Christmas comes and I can finally open this very unassuming box…
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!

Looking forward to your thoughts.
I was only able to play with this for about 20 minutes and now I am in South Carolina for the week, but first impressions are pretty good. Setup was easy, calibration was easy, and rolling putts was easy. In those short 20 minutes, I learned my putter path is always right to left and my face is never square. Not good, but something to work on! Once I get back home, I will be able to spend more time with this and answer any questions. I only took the one picture below. My 20 minutes were just random putt lengths, I didn’t play against anyone or try out the actual greens.[ATTACH type=”full”]9055691[/ATTACH]
Spent some good time on the Exputt RG last night. It definitely provides the feedback I need as far as speed control, face angle, and putter path. My stroke is consistent, although consistently bad. Being able to change the green speed is a nice feature as we have quite a variety of fast and slow greens near me.
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.

Discovered tonight that if I create my own online multiplayer match, someone joins pretty quick. Playing against someone else is a fun addition to this setup.
This looks like it would be a great putting exercise enabler for those of us buried under snow during the winter months. A way to keep the putting stroke in game-shape until spring.
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.
This is a super cool concept and would be great for practice or even fun with the boys. Neat that it will have actual real courses greens.

Spyglass Hill greens are no joke. I struggled big time in a multiplayer match.
Here are a couple of shots in the post-practice analysis screen. As you get more practice in, you will get to see the progress stats towards the right. You need at least 5 “Analysis” sessions before those will contain data. Still working on my distance control…[ATTACH type=”full”]9057966[/ATTACH][ATTACH type=”full”]9057967[/ATTACH]

Oh I believe it, 3 putt central!
This caught my eye the other day. Anyone using this? [USER=3471]@jt2929[/USER]? One might need to adjust to pacing off putts to calibrate your stroke vs just using your eyes.

I’m still using mine. I still enjoy it and feel it’s been helpful. I typically only use it in practice mode majority of the time. I think it’s pretty good for the stimp reading and distance control up to a certain distance.
Like you said, I do pace off my putts now for calibrating. First, on the practice green ant the course and then the first couple of holes during my round. I have a mallet putter so I use it as for how far back to take my club. Example, my club head is 4 inches. For me, that equates to 10-12 ft on stimp 8. So, if I walk off a 12 ft putt that’s my reference on how far to bring my club back and I just need to control the speed. This is for straight putts. Depending on the green conditions that will tell me the stimp of the course. If I’m off it’s because I’m overthinking and not trusting what I’m feeling for the distance based on the conditions. I have an alignment stick marked off with measurements (4, 8, 12, 16, 20) I use on the practice green. I stick with the same measurements so it easily translates to the other stimps and I just have to control speed and slope. For me, I find this system to work better on faster greens when it comes to the slope. My home course greens are too slow so I’m constantly second guessing myself.
The one thing I do wish they’ll add is more distance measurements in the practice area instead of just 5, 10, 15, 20 ft, etc. you can do random and get 2, 3, 8, etc. every so often, but I’d like to set it to that and just work on that distance as often as I like. So, I’ll set it to 50 ft to practice a certain distance without a pin to aim at, but not sure if that mess with your overall stats.
I pair exputt with blast golf and HackMotion sensors to get more data as to what I did during my putts.
I got an ExPutt a few weeks ago and have used it twice so far – once plugged into my short throw projector and yesterday just using the iPhone app. The app had some issues connecting and staying connected, but I only had to start over from scratch once in about 30 minutes of use.
So far I’m still trying to figure out alignment – would be great if there was a better way for it to indicate “square” for ball path – on real greens I mostly miss left but yesterday almost everything was reading slight pushes to the right.
I decided to keep playing random 5-40 ft putts until I sank 10 putts, and it took 46 putts. Most of those 10 were inside 12 feet.
Will spend more time with it in the coming weeks as I recover from left hand surgery on Monday and can’t take full swings for a few weeks.

I will be interested to see if it helps with on course results. Putting is such a mental game
I got to play with one at the WAM 2 years ago and it seems they have made some nice upgrades to it.
