What do you think a pool table or craps table felt surface over smooth concrete would roll at?

dbenick3 18-20. It wouldn’t stop

Garage floor putting green

dphatt this is how I felt at independence this past weekend. They might have been the fastest, hardest surface I ever played on. Everything was on the defensive. I just don't have many options around me that ever get greens to that speed.

dphatt

dbenick3 this is how I felt at the Middle Atlantic Am at Bethesda last year. Nothing could have prepared me for that. This is why I have gone to the blade for tournament golf this year. Worst case I can hit it off of the toe to kill the speed. With the SpiderX it was impossible and I was grinding over 2-3 foot putts.

dphatt I feel like if I get something at a 15 - 16 range, it would help going into tourneys like that. I had a lot of 15 to 20 footers for birdies and I was on pins and needles. All this while watching a college kid go drano on them with no fear speed wise.

dphatt Hitting it off the toe is a myth! A proper struck putt with correct line always goes in. Work on your stroke and you'll improve your speed control. Long nights on the Oakmont putting green taught me that.

Camry golf greens on Instagram would be a decent option

ckay

tinkerer I have heard the same from a lot of people.

tinkerer I’ve heard this for years now. Someone actually made a business out of it? That’s awesome.

dbenick3

tinkerer awesome info right there

dbenick3

tinkerer I email the guy asking about the product at 9:45 and within ten min he emailed me back. That is some customer service.

PaulAllenPA if I had access to Oakmont putting green, I wouldn't need a fast ass surface lol.

dphatt

PaulAllenPA myth? How so?

PaulAllenPA

dbenick3 how often do you play fast greens? Everyone gets caught up with speed. Learn how to make putts and the speed will come.

dphatt

dbenick3 go to Kinloch 😉

dbenick3

PaulAllenPA 6 to 8 PGA section events a year and mix in some other games vs mini tour guys on good tracks. I am at a Virginia top 10 course but we have flat greens that get slow in the heat. Our state open felt like putting on smooth concrete.

PaulAllenPA

dphatt Do you try to hit the Driver off the toe to draw it?

dbenick3

dphatt I can guarantee Kinloch isn't as fast at Independence was. I headed over to spring creek which has some of the quicker ones around and they weren't even close.

dphatt

PaulAllenPA terrible comparison. The reason you hit the putt on a toe is to deaden the strike to the ball while maintaining the same stroke. I have many friends who play on tour who do this on extremely downhill putts

dphatt

dbenick3 you would be surprised with Kinloch. They have different greens with different grass and speeds. I said the same thing last year at Bethesda when I was on those greens. I asked myself how can I ever prepare for anything like this.

PaulAllenPA

dphatt played many a round with Scott Gump back in the day and we flushed this out while at the Buick one year. Most tour players know the toe putt is a myth. Who are your buddies on tour? Would love to educate them on what we came up with.

dbenick3

dphatt main greens or like practice ones?

dphatt

PaulAllenPA Good for you and Scott Gump 😂

As for asking who I know, do yourself a favor and use the search button and look up who I know and my experience in the golf industry.

I haven’t heard of a Paul Allen as a top 1000000 coach so maybe you need to teach me who you are before trying to teach anything to anyone 😂
