General information regarding Putting in a simulator

There are three aspects to consider for putting:

Green Stimp: This is the speed of the green.   A green stimp as low as 7 will be the slowest green.  Green stimp of 13 is very fast... similar to the green speeds used in the PGA tournaments.   I generally recommend staying at a stop of 9.  If it feels too fast for you, then drop the green stimp to 7.

Putter: We have noticed that different putters and putting styles can impact the velocity measurements, or sometimes the ability for the ball to be tracked. Putters with white markings and complicated mallets, or silver backs, can produce reflections from the NIR lights and be less reliable.  Blade putters with black materials tend to have less interference.

Uneven putting surface:  The distance the ball travels after club impact before it drops off the edge of the hitting mat can make a difference.  If the ball travels a short distance before dropping off the mat, it could interfere with the accuracy, as the camera(s) will detect the non-linear motion of the ball dropping off, when a smooth, relatively flat surface is assumed.  If you notice this problem, shift the mat so there is 12” to 18” from the ball at the tee location to the edge of the hitting mat.
