I have had the birdie ball mat for 5 years plus. Moved twice. Still like the the day I unwrapped it. Putt on it almost every day. I have the inserts so you get different curvatures. The bumpers relax after 24 hrs of inserting and stay flat. The putting surface and speed are like good quality courses. Highly recommend. The 4 ft width is a huge bonus. You are always putting and standing on the same surface.
Great video and thanks.
I’ve got the BirdieBall mat. I've used it in my garage simulator for the last 3-4 years. Mine is 3 ft x 18 ft. It has held up great. It’s much tougher than it seems. Since I park my car over it, you should know it cleans up well, too. Having used it for this long, I'm impressed by its roll, consistency and durability. I’m a happy customer.
I’ve owned a BB (yes past tense) and have putted a bunch on a Prime. Prime no contest, most realist feel and roll.
My birdie ball mat came with a raised back cup solving the lip out problem. It has very true roll. I really like mine.
I bought the two layers of Birdie Ball putting mat and it does make a difference for sinking the balls since the cup is deeper. The larger mats come with shims to add break to the putts
My BirdieBall came with a couple of high back cups
Birdieball owner for several years now. 4x16. Like everything about it other than the speed is so much faster than majority of the courses in our area it takes a little time to readjust in the spring after a winter of indoor practice
I've owned a birdie ball for 4 years and a big moss for 3 years. The roll on both is incredible. The birdieball durability is not great though. I primarily used it in one direction and the foam on that side flattened (squished down) over the years of use. Don't wear golf shoes on it if you want it to last longer and definitely don't let pets on it. The big moss quality and durability is the best I've tried. The design of the raised end to allow for the ball to actually drop into a cup is by far the best setup imo. Big Moss is my number one choice for sure. The primeputt seems very expensive.
I've had a couple birdie ball greens. I have a 4x15 set up now. I got mine without holes cut and move my own targets around. I don't like a cup in the same spot. It rolls great and fast. Maybe too fast so consider a slower one. It's not for outdoor use and pets or kids could destroy it pretty easily. Not durable, but I love the bigger size for a reasonable price. I originally had it set up at 4x30 feet long but cut it in half when I moved.
Interesting video! I have a PuttOut, which is ok, and a budget less than $40 option which actually works great when placed on smooth concrete.
I built a platform for my birdie ball so I have a regulation cup and flag in it. Over time the area where you stand no longer rebounds and develops a dip. Other than that I really enjoy it.
Good video! try the Big Moss greens, many options etc and the feel is excellent.
I have a Puttout mat. While it's great, my biggest complaint is not being able to practice breaking putts. I have that complaint for any mat.
Just put an upside down dinner plate under one side halfway down the matt. Matts flex. Play around with different objects under different positions
The Birdie Ball mat keeps rimming out the ball which I can do without any practice at all.
Never mind the Matts, great putter choice right there! Bettinardi Queen bee 6 is a classy choice
Prime looks better but that isn't everything I guess. Birdie looks like a hunk of foam (in the video anyway).
Putting on them would tell which is better.
I think the most boring thing you can do is putt indoors though. Lol.
But for trying out putters in a setting like yours is nice to be able to do.
Nice review. I hope birdie ball would replace that bumper. Did you notice any footprints on the birdie ball?
Faint, but they seemed to disappear pretty quick.
AJ, sent you an email about a prototype I need to input on, thanks Spike
