EXPUTT Putting Simulator
Posted by GolfBox on 7th Jan 2021
What happens when a group of golf-loving Silicon Valley engineers get the putting yips?
They go ahead and create the game’s most dynamic, accurate and enjoyable at-home putting simulator. It’s called the EXPUTT and it’s the best thing to come out of Silicon Valley since the iPhone.
EXPUTT uses a high-speed camera to track putter path, ball speed and direction and it connects to a TV to create a virtual practice green environment in the comfort of your living room.
EXPUTT analyzes your ball & putter movement to help improve your putting consistency.
Roll out the putting mat and connect the EXPUTT camera to your TV, it's that simple.
A True Training Device - ★★★★★
"My thoughts when I first heard about EXPUTT was that it maybe a game. Though it can be a game, I have found it to be much more of a training device and I think it will 100% make me a better putter. My son plays Jr. Golf for the local high school team and he has been "putting" a 100 balls a day using EXPUTT. His comment to me was, I understand the greens and the breaks better now, not to mention I simply miss less short putts. #makemoreputts is exactly what this thing is all about." T. Spring
EXPUTT Putting Simulator
EXPUTT is a seriously accurate piece of equipment but it manages to make putting practice so engaging it simply doesn’t feel like practice – it’s way more fun!
Data-driven insights on putter face angle and stroke path make diagnosing and fixing a dodgy stroke straightforward and you’ll also learn to read breaking putts like a pro.
But EXPUTT’s game mode is where putting practice really comes alive. Up to four players can compete in the ultimate nine-hole test of putting prowess, with a little “friendly” competition and “good-humoured” banter from your competitors a sure way of developing a nerveless putting technique under pressure.
The EXPUTT will make those horribly tugged two-footers a distant memory and you’ll be soon dropping strokes off your round faster than a dubious Silicon Valley start-up burns through investor funds.

EXPUTT Rocks! - ★★★★★
"Just got mine hooked up and bought a dedicated TV to use with it. I now have my own putting simulator set up and I love it! It's a difference maker for your putting. High marks to the graphics package, game options all the relevant stats/information that it provides, very realistic. Anyone with a full golf simulator needs to look at adding one of these to complete your experience!" D.Ohirko
EASY TO SET UP
EXPUTT is an absolute tap-in to set up. Roll out the putting mat on the floor and attach the EXPUTT camera to your TV with the clip or use the camera stand on a flat surface if preferred.
Then connect the camera to the TV via the HDMI cable and power up the camera. Move the mat or rotate the camera until the putting mat appears on the TV screen, wait for it to sync and you’re done!
If your putter has a dark face, attach a sticker to both the heel and toe so the camera can identify the face. Otherwise stick one on the top of the putter, in either the heel or toe position (just not the middle).
USING THE MAT
The EXPUTT camera reads the putter's heel and toe positions and lets you use your putter like a mouse during challenge or play mode.
Interactive Zone
Moving the putter along the edge of the mat will activate the on-screen mouse to access and select the EXPUTT’s menus.
Putting Ready Area
When you’re ready to play, position a ball between the mat’s two centre lines and wait to hear a "ready" from the EXPUTT.
Hint Key
If you need some hints about the correct line to start your putt on, hover your putter over the hint key (Image 3).
Direction Key
You can also adjust the direction of your putt with the direction key.
3 Different Modes
From the main menu, you can play in 3 different modes: Practice 1, 2 or Game. Each mode has different configuration options that can be set via the settings menu.
Practice Mode 1
Practice mode 1 is ideal for refining the mechanics of your stroke and finetuning your distance control on a perfectly level simulated green.
You can choose the green speed - from lightning-fast Tour-level concrete to a middle-of-winter furry top – and monitor your stroke path, impact angle and speed via EXPUTT’s statistical summary to see where you can improve.
Practice Mode 2
You can practise from a fixed distance to hone your stroke or increase the distance with every putt holed - or you can leave it to EXPUTT to choose putts at random to refine your distance control.
Four nine-hole courses feature on Practice mode 2 and it’s where you can perfect your green reading skills on breaking greens.
An on-screen grid and heat map shows the slope on the green and the EXPUTT can give you visual hints on the ideal line and where to start your putt.
Game Mode
Game mode is all about entertainment and transferring your new skills to a competition environment. Up to four players can compete in a stroke play tournament at one of four nine-hole courses.
It’s made for fun and you’ll be improving your putting without even thinking about it.
