I Tried the VIRAL New Putting Mat EVERYONE is Talking About

[@jergernice1]

designed my own for about 300$ years ago and about 12 feet....friends loved it. instead of air i used a notched system and bars that went underneath to the other side. also had auto return on made or missed putts long...anyway this looks nice except kinda short...

[@Andrumen01]

When you go beyond 10ft for putting you need a little bit of luck, or a real green!

[@thisizcle140]

Majority or round saving putts are inside 10 feet.....​@@Andrumen01

[@laronda10]

New DIY challenge unlocked

[@MrRiusxx]

Share a video please 😬

[@robosardine303]

Start with some bunched up cloth under a strip of carpet. Job done 👍

[@mikebatiste]

Great review, thank you. This thing looks awesome. I would definitely practice putting at home a lot more with something dynamic like this vs. the straight roll up thing i have now. I'm gonna get it.

[@Golficity]

It definitely makes putting practice at home a lot more interesting versus using a traditional flat mat!

[@MrZola1234]

Looks cool. Wish it was about 25 feet.

[@Golficity]

Would be cool to be bigger, but I'm sure that include a lot more parts and cost 3X more.

[@nikej24]

I think the guy at the show said then next generation would probably be longer.

[@thomasalexander3849]

Yup, once they can self adjust to settings input to your phone - it’s gonna be a killer! It still is! Just lots to build off of.

[@nikej24]

Tried this at the PGA show. Really liked it. And thought price point was not bad for what you get. With all the options.

[@_dboy_]

That looks pretty cool! And here i am trying to make little breaks in my perfect practice putting mat by putting a blanket under part of it haha

[@Golficity]

😆

[@davidjanssen894]

Will be big when applied to sim golf

[@nikej24]

Be fun in the garage or mancave with the guys. Setting up big benders, uphillers, for 1 dollar a man!

[@jelloboy1032]

This looks like a great product at not a bad cost. I love it.

[@paulbennett6914]

This is cool. While I'm way more excited about the future evolution of this product, it's an exciting first step.

[@EdKrisiak]

I have to say that it is pretty cool. I just use my socks underneath the matt to create breaks 🤣😂

[@jeffersonmiranda7452]

The next generation would be best to get the pumps automated with software that u can set on a mobile app or with pre-set levels that would be dope

[@jeffersonmiranda7452]

The app is there u just need automated pumps instead of manual

[@brunomai3337]

You stand at a flat surface and putt on an inclined surface. For me it was hard to get the feeling on my feet to feel the break, that on the mat is non-existent. It would be revolutionary if you could stand on the same surface you are putting on. If you get good at this product, it will mess you up on the course, where you will feel the break/inclined of the green. It is as if almost a video game practice

[@pdxthriftking5033]

Weekend hacker here. Finally got it for Christmas. Pga here i come.

[@FearedByMany]

Good idea. Think we could DIY this thing pretty easily tho

[@lawchan83]

Can you stand on it to practice feeling out percent slope of the green.

[@detla499]

Very cool! Can you stand on it while pumped up?

[@SaltySac74]

Looks like the same mat material as the original mats which groove fairly easily with a lot of use.

[@Andrumen01]

I tried to do it at home (placing pillows under the putting mat, etc) without success...the only problem that I have is: if the slope is too wild, will there be enough space to successfully putt...? That would be my only concern, but otherwise it is what I have been looking for!

[@MetalGear69]

None of the floors in my house are level, so every putting mat has this feature for me.

[@alestev24]

It's a great idea, but the valves, which let out the air, look like they are the cheapest variety, which doesn't last long. Maybe make it $ 100 more expensive and build it with more durable components.

[@Sliceforlife]

I wonder how much weight those airbags can hold, it would be great if you could use it to help feel slope percentages for those of us about to get screwed by winter

[@Golficity]

You definitely cannot stand on it without popping one of the bags.

[@puttoutgolf]

Hi @Sliceforlife, the load bearing capacity of the bags is 180kg / 395lbs so although AirBreak isn't designed to be stood on, nothing will break if you do happen to stand on it 👌

[@NoobPositron]

looks pretty good

[@michaeloja8589]

Can you walk on the putting surface? If you could, it would be a way to work on your aim point, which would translate to reading greens on the course. Otherwise, it might be OK to play with, but what are you learning to take to the course?

[@Golficity]

Unfortunately you can’t walk on it because the weight would damage the air bags underneath.

[@bartgarrett7710]

​@@Golficity i was thinking that would be the case . Pretty cool though otherwise !

[@TD22057]

This was exactly my question. Without the ability to feel the break with your feet I have a hard time thinking it's worth it.

[@MikeSoutham]

It looks absolutely incredible... just wish it was 10ft...

[@Golficity]

Seems to be the number one request!

[@puttoutgolf]

Hi Mike, additional sizes may well come in the future, however for the first in the range we were keen to find a sweet spot so it can easily be accommodated in the everyday golfer's lounge / office / play room etc. We've been selling flat mats for close to seven years and our Medium Mat (the same length at AirBreak) massively outsells our larger, wider mat, so it felt like the right size to launch with, whilst keeping an eye on making larger variants in the future.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

The FAQ says you can't stand on it (or shouldn't). I really want to so that I can train aimpoint express green reading with it. So that's a bummer!

[@drumcatnau]

Soccer cone or whatever under a standard mat. This is over engineering at its finest.

[@Xiomaro01]

you can make your own with some air shims

[@JJ_Khailha]

Foot pad doesn’t get you close enough to ball, nor does it allow you to stand at the same level as the putting surface for different slopes as it is separate from the putting surface. Needs to be wider and longer imo.

[@mjk-th2tm]

This was my exact concern. I’d develop a habit of standing too far away from the ball rather than looking more over the ball. It would create poor putting mechanics.

[@puttoutgolf]

Hi JJ, the stand-on podium is actually adjustable with 2 sets of risers that are provided upon purchase. This means you can be level with the ball depending on the slope you choose to practice with.

[@JJ_Khailha]

@@puttoutgolf Oh, that’s good to hear. Thanks for the reply!

[@stevenc9207]

But you don't stand level when you have a breaking putt, so that part is completely fake

[@arjenootes9017]

Like the auto return, pricing too high for such a short mat. Cartboard under my mat does the trick way cheaper and as effective

[@PrtPrtPrtGood]

Hey why is Mike never on these product reviews?

[@Golficity]

Hey Mike here! Frank went full time not long ago so he’s been dialing up some GREAT product reviews on the channel! I’m sure this winter I’ll be popping into more of them! 😊

[@woohoot4838]

Imagine integrating automatic inflating pumps controlled by gspro fsx, etc allowing actual breaking putts during a round instead of 4ft gimme's

[@Golficity]

mind blown.

[@buchaneb]

I was guessing this would be at least $500

[@williammoseley17]

Thanks guys for keeping us all up to date with your reviews of all the latest and greatest training aides on the market.

[@nakakuchi_1780]

I thought about pre ordering back then but It’s just not wide enough with all the breaks you can have imo.

[@nikej24]

Def could use more width and length. But might be an option next one. Thinking this one is more focused on small areas and just getting the idea out there. Having putt on it before. I feel like the video doesn't do it justice for the size kinda.

[@nakakuchi_1780]

@@nikej24 i think the price is too high because it has 0 technology in it, making it worth over $300. looks great, but air bubbles, mat, bases, and ball catcher are not worth that much imo.

[@ericpotter8874]

Only downside it is too short. Being able to practice 15 to 20 feet is necessary to improve your overall putting.

[@mikewilliams2786]

How are the FJ Quantum's treating you Frank? More comfortable than the Flex?

[@Golficity]

Quantums have been great! I’d say the Flex are still my “go-to” off course shoes but I’ve been mixing in the Quantum and really digging them.

[@johnvalencia7488]

$360 bucks? That's alot of trips to the driving range. I'll pass.

[@crispyduck1706]

You practice putting at the driving range ?

[@christophergardiner7372]

@@crispyduck1706 almost every time. Most ranges and courses have putting and chipping greens alongside the driving range

[@sinkingputts]

The problem is your feet are flat, but the hill is breaking, which would never happen in real life

[@ApHoney]

Can make this for about $60 without the app

[@JL-qf3hq]

For the price of 1 premium putter you could actually practice dropping putts 🤣

[@TonesBalones]

Once you get to a certain consistency on 8ft putts, this thing is useless. If you buy it for your home, you are going to get bored of it within a week.

[@Dani-El.]

Then they can sell it to me for a 1/4 of the price. You can also change ball position btw, which wasn't even mentioned in this video. So there are more putts than you think. Still, it's not very long is it.
