I wanted a home putting green to practice on that wouldn't break the bank. I looked through many different ones and decided to go with the Skiz Accelerator Pro version. It was $49 on Amazon. Amazon Link Also it gave you alignment lines at 3', 5' and 7'. I thought that would be beneficial to me too.
When I received it in the mail, opened the package and laid it out since it was rolled up. It came with an automatic ball return that needed to be assembled to. This was easy to do, but I couldn't seen to get it to lay flat. (After a week it has still not flattened out) I then waited till the next day to try the mat out, since it was bumpy the day before. The mat seem to work great at first. I didn't mind having to hit the ball up a slight incline, since you are suppose to hit about 12" behind the cup anyway. I was doing really well at it! I thought my putting skills were just awesome! This made me start testing it from different angles, which went in with ease to. I think they sloped each side of the green near the hole towards it. This really made me frustrated with this product. Due to this I have decided to send it back, thank goodness I bought it from Amazon which makes it easy to return.
All in all, the putting surface was good on this product and the construction was good. I just felt it wasn't a very realistic and true training aid. I think I am going to continue my search for a good putting mat at a low price. I guess if the search fails, I will end up paying $300 for one of the Tour Links or Big Murph greens.
I have attached some personal pictures I took of it, before I sent it back.
