Is your artificial putting green close comparable to a real course? Is it aimed for more casual use or is it high quality enough to be used for professionals as well?

Our artificial grass putting green can be as close as possible to real green on the market. By looking at the putting green’s functionalities and performances, here are some of the comparisons between our artificial putting greens to the real real greens:

1. Ball speed: you can get the same ball speed on our artificial greens 

2. Ball consistency: you can achieve the same consistency of ball movements on our greens

3. Contour and slopes: you can build your greens with our product to simulate exactly how the real grass green can be: this will require a lot of experiences and expertise from the installer, not everyone can do the job.

4. Handling the chip shots or taking shots: this is an weak point of artificial putting greens compared to the real green grass. An average installation won’t give you the same absorbent as a real grass green will, when you hit a chip shot or shot from a distance, the balls can bounce at a much higher rate on an artificial green than that on a real grass green. However, there are ways to make an artificial green absorb the shots similar to real greens which will take even more sophisticated designs and preparations such as using a different type of artificial grass product called bent grass, with an inch thick infills or even with shock pads underneath the putting greens. Again, the installation on such can be tricky and requires a lot of experiences.
