MyGolfSpy — one of the most trusted independent voices in golf equipment testing — put PUTTR through their rigorous review process and came away calling it "flat-out fun and helpful." The review was conducted by Connor, their Director of Soft Goods Testing, who set out to answer a simple question: can PUTTR fix a hideous putting stroke?

What MyGolfSpy Highlighted
More Than a Putting Mat
The reviewer made it clear from the start that PUTTR isn't a traditional putting mat. MyGolfSpy described it as a putting simulator in a metal box — one that transforms from a compact case to a full putting station in seconds. The magnetic ball return, Bluetooth app pairing, and LED-lit hole impressed from the setup experience alone.
The Games Are Genuine Practice
MyGolfSpy tested multiple game modes including Beer Pong, Around the World, and head-to-head multiplayer challenges. Their key finding: the arcade-style games aren't gimmicks — they're practice drills disguised as fun competition. Every game mode tracks data and feeds your stats, so even casual play contributes to measurable improvement.
The Data and The Lab
The review praised PUTTR's practice modes, particularly The Lab, where each putt receives speed and accuracy scores. The reviewer noted that PUTTR captures entry angle data that reveals whether you push or pull putts — the kind of insight that makes your weaknesses impossible to ignore. The PUTTR handicap system, based on your most recent 200 putts weighed against PGA Tour averages, was highlighted as a powerful motivator.
Honest Assessment
In typical MyGolfSpy fashion, they noted trade-offs too: the putting surface, while very good, doesn't match dedicated premium mats like PrimePutt or BirdieBall in raw roll quality. They also flagged that the Android app experience was less polished than iOS at the time of review. But their overall verdict was unambiguous: PUTTR is easy to recommend.
The Verdict
MyGolfSpy concluded that PUTTR provides actionable data, folds into a compact metal box for easy storage, and — critically — makes putting genuinely fun. They noted that spending hours practicing your putting stroke with PUTTR is surprisingly easy, which may be the highest compliment a putting trainer can receive.
