Chiputt GolfReviews of thechiputt.com

I’ve owned the Chiputt mat for a week and am very impressed so far! I previously used putting sets with ramp returns, but needing to hit putts harder to reach the hole was hurting my touch on real greens. Given the price, I decided to try the Chiputt. The owner, Jason Fan, provided great service. He even reached out so I could wait a few extra days for the upgraded version. The mat itself is excellent. I no longer have to force extra power, allowing me to putt naturally like I would at my local muni. It also includes great accessories, like the standing mat, which competitors charge extra for. Giving this 4/5 stars only because I’ve only had it a week and can’t speak to long-term durability yet, though Jason mentioned their original prototype still rolls true after 3+ years. Overall, highly recommended!

I grabbed the Chiputt 3’×11’ mat because it fits perfectly in my hallway and drops right into the carpeted space in my basement. And honestly — for the price — this thing delivers. Unboxing wasn’t flawless: it came with a cloth‑style handle, and right out of the box there were bubbles and curls that needed a few days (plus a stack of books and kids’ toys) to settle. Jason’s email was clutch — he laid out exactly what to expect and explained the curing time, which made the whole process make sense. I measured the mat myself: it’s about 8 mm thick in total, with roughly 1 mm of backing. The backing has a noticeably harder feel, and because it’s thinner, it can slide a bit on hardwood compared to a softer, grippier underlay. That thinner backing also explains why it needs time to settle and why it can show small bubbles early on. I had a bit of edge fraying I trimmed with scissors, and after four days I still have a couple small bubbles left — minor stuff, and likely just needing more weight and time. Once it flattened, though — the roll is legit. I tested it on both carpet and hardwood and got the same result on both. Speed feels like a true 9–10 stimp, and I can instantly tell whether I’ve hit a straight putt or not. No wobble, no drift, even when cross‑putting across the three cup positions. The three‑cup layout is actually useful. I primarily use the raised back cups, and they give great feedback — the shallow cup only holds the ball if your pace is perfect. Neither cup sounds like a real hole, but the make‑sound is still satisfying. I have a second pair of indoor golf shoes, and walking on the mat with them feels firm and premium. Roll noise is natural and quiet. It does pick up lint and debris, but a quick Dyson pass resets the fibers perfectly. The mat rolls up easily, but honestly I just leave it out — the kids grab their putters and go to town. Bottom line: For about half the price of a PrimePutt, the Chiputt is excellent value. The roll is clean, the speed feels real, and the feedback is instant. It’s not perfect — the backing is thin, the edges needed cleanup, and the bubbles took time — but for the money, it’s a strong buy.
