Brandt Snedeker currently leads the PGA Tour averaging just under 28 putts per round. For those of us without Brandt’s ability with the flat stick, we average closer to 36 putts per round. Whether you’re a PGA Professional or high-handicapper, we all spend a significant time throughout our rounds on the putting greens.
One new training aid could be a big help to improving your experience while on the greens. The new SKLZ Vari-Break Putting Green product allows golfers to practice reading and making putts with a variety of lies including uphill, downhill, left and right breaks. The 33-square foot oversized true-roll putting surface can be manipulated with versatile, moveable foam wedges for all kinds of practice. The putting surface closely simulates real green conditions including with and against-the-grain putting.
“When you play a round of golf, rarely is a putt perfect, flat and straight, so your practice putting routine shouldn’t be either,” said Greg Shoman, vice president of marketing, SKLZ. “Now golfers finally have a practice putting mat that acts like an actual putting green, which will help improve putting on virtually any type of lie.”
In addition to coming with two foam break wedges The Vari-Break Putting Green includes the horseshoe-shaped SKLZ Putt Pocket, which fits in a standard golf hole to reduce its size for higher precision practice as well as practice putting to the high side of the hole. The weighted Putt Pocket can also be moved around the green for more putting scenarios and for fun putting competitions with friends and family. The oversize green measures 11 feet long by 3 feet wide and has a Stimpmeter rating of 10 on a firm rug, and 11 on linoleum surface for down-grain. Against-grain rates a 9 on a firm rug.
The Vari-Break Putting Green retails for $99.99. You can learn more at http://sklz.com.
