1PuttOUT Premium pressure putt trainer
The PuttOUT trainer has a curved ramp that sends a putt back to them. If the ball rolls back, the putt would have dropped. A small target inside only holds the ball when the pace and line are spot on, and the base is the width of a real hole. It folds small enough for a golf bag pocket.
Pros
- Sends the ball back, so they can keep putting.
- Works on mats indoors and on the putting green.
- Folds to fit in a bag pocket.
Cons
- It's for practice, so it won't see much use on the course.
