Mat, Aids, and App for Serious Putting Gains
WellPutt Review


WellPutt
Wins
True roll, stimp speeds feel tour-ready
Smart visual design: alignment lines, Good/Bad zones, stroke-length guides
App with 50+ drills + tracking = actual habit building
Durable build with a lifetime guarantee
Ecosystem: mat + Wellstroke + Ghost Holes + gates
Drawbacks
No physical cup
Rolls faster than muni greens (12–13 stimp on hard floors)
App = helpful, not deeply analytical
Scores
Mat: 9/10
Aids: 9/10
App: 8/10
Overall: 9/10
Who it’s for: Intermediates serious about speed control and start line.
Who it’s not for: Casual golfers who want a gimmick mat with a ball return.
Realism & Practice
WellPutt rolls smoothly, quickly, and accurately. Depending on direction: 10–11.5 stimp. On hardwood? Even quicker (12–13).
This isn’t your muni’s shaggy green. Practicing on WellPutt forces a confident stroke. The printed Good Zone trains you to roll 12–24” past the hole — not short, never timid.
No slopes. No cup. Just pure mechanics. That’s the point: if you can hit it straight, on time, at the right speed here, you’ll do it on grass.
My results: Over winter, I cut ~2 putts/round. My 6–10 footers started finishing past the hole instead of dying short.
App Integration
Most mats = carpet. WellPutt = system.
The free app gives you:
3 “18-hole courses” (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
Games: Good Zone, Putt Range
Multiplayer modes
Score tracking
It’s not sensor-driven. You log results. But that’s enough because practice is now structured, competitive, and sticky.
4-Week Plan (20 mins, 4x/wk):
Wk 1–2: Orange course
Wk 3: Blue course + Good Zone game
Wk 4: Black course 2x/wk, beat your score
Think of the app as your silent coach.
Quality & Design
Surface: Tight weave, smooth roll
Backing: Heavy rubber, doesn’t slide
Edges: Durable, no fray
Setup: Unroll + go, minimal curl
Graphics = functional:
Alignment line
Eye-position dots
Stroke-length guides
Distance zones
It’s clean. No guard rails, no cheesy ball return. That’s deliberate.
Storage tip: Keep the box. Rolls up tight. Travels easily.
Utility
Cameron McCormick (Spieth’s coach) co-designed this. Translation: it’s built for profound teaching.
1-on-1 lesson:
Eye and face angle with alignment line
Path work with the Wellstroke arc trainer
Gate drills with tees
Group clinic:
Lag ladder on the zone side
18-hole course as a team game
Ghost Holes = targets anywhere
The Coach Pack (mat + Wellstroke + Ghost Holes + gates) is basically a plug-and-play curriculum.

On thick carpet? Drop plywood under.
Quiet, pet-friendly (though expect lint roll duty).

Alternatives & Add-Ons
Alternatives Recap:
Perfect Practice = content play
PuttOUT = pressure fun, but piecemeal
PrimePutt = turf rug
Add-ons worth pairing:
Mirror
String line
Metronome app
Three months. 20 minutes/day. I stopped leaving birdie putts short. My confidence inside 10 feet skyrocketed.
Bottom line: WellPutt is the line between staying average and finally cashing in those 20-footers.
