Why Indoor Putting Simulators Are The Best Option To Tidy Up Your Short Game

With golfers spending more time on the green than any other part of the golf course on average, it’s safe to say putting is where most players fall painfully short of achieving their best scores.

But putting is often painfully overlooked, with many golfers short on time neglecting the practice green or putting mat in favour of the driving range, or simply heading straight onto the course.

If this sounds familiar and you struggle to squeeze in some much-needed putting practice, an indoor putting simulator - like the ones stocked by Black Box Golf - could be the perfect training aid for you.

So, here are just a few reasons why an indoor putting green is the tool you’ve been looking for to shave those pesky few final strokes off of your game.

How an indoor putting simulator can elevate your skills on the green

Realistic, accessible practice at home (or wherever you choose)

Gone are the days of golfers lining up easy, straight putts on their carpet at home or the office, knocking them into a cup they grabbed from the nearest shelf. It's just not a realistic putting scenario.

Today, innovative and intricately designed indoor putting simulators offer the most true-to-life and accessible putting experience without the need to head to your local course.

This not only allows you to practice putting at a time and location of your choosing, but also presents the closest alternative to putting on an actual green, helping you develop a putting technique that will serve you well when it’s time for a real game.

Intelligent stroke insights

Putting is a lot more than simply hitting a ball into a hole; it should be a carefully calculated process that takes green reading, distance control, speed control, roll line, and so much more into account.

When trying to improve your putting away from the course, these elements can be difficult to see. For some, they’re hard to grasp even on the cleanest, smoothest greens.

This is where intelligent indoor putting simulators, like the PuttView Indoor Golf Simulator, come in handy.

Utilising augmented reality technology, PuttView analyses the putting surface of your choice, offering detailed insights you can use to make the perfect putt, mapping them out right in front of you with crystal-clear projections. Then, it will offer immediate feedback you can use to make improvements on your next stroke.

Think of it as if someone took the time to paint your perfect ball path (along with plenty more information) straight onto the green for you.

You can use the PuttView on a pre-installed putting green, or choose from one of PuttView’s many installation options, for ultimate versatility. Alternatively, you can map putting info onto virtually any floor space!

Protection from weather-related variables

Battling the elements is something every golfer needs to face at some point. But it’s never pleasant.

It’s especially frustrating when over-the-top weather conditions interfere with our putting stroke, when we know our technique would have been considered solid in more welcoming conditions.

So if your local climate is less-than-favourable and you’re sick of it throwing off your putting practice, why not swap the local practice green for an indoor putting simulator?

When you’re indoors, you have complete control over your environment, allowing you to perfect your putting stroke without being thrown off your game by pesky wind, rain, sleet or snow.

You can even practice on different inclines and declines, with the Zen Oracle Indoor Putting Stage.

An inventive creation placing the putting terrain completely in your hands, the Zen Green Stage can be programmed to offer a completely bespoke putting angle, with multiple gradients that can offer a staggering 8 billion (yes, billion with a ‘B’) putting opportunities.

You can even program the green to match the gradients of greens on over 38,000 real-life golf courses, meaning you can putt your way through the world’s most famous greens without ever heading out the door.
