Q: Does Reputt work with any putting mat?
A: Reputt requires your putting mat to have a straight edge 30 cm (12 inches) or more long (most do) and a total effective thickness of 8 mm (1/3 inch) or more. Ofcourse, if you buy the Reputt With mat combination, you do not need to worry about this.
Q: My mat is not 8 mm thick. How do I make my mat thickness 8 mm?
A: You can use any readily available yoga mats in the market today ranging from 4 mm to 10 mm thickness to place below your existing putting mat, effectively increasing the thickness of your existing putting mat. Yoga mats are good as they typically also have a good surface grip.
Q: How far back does the ball get returned?
A: The device has a tuning screw that can be rotated to increase the return distance, up to around 20 feet depending on the stimp speed of your putting mat. This allows you to adjust the distance depending on the length of your putting mat.
Q: How do I know which putts are made and which are missed?
A: The target is a recess built into Reputt that measures at 4.25 inches diameter like a standard hole in golf. It has special walls to channel in made-putts. Balls that enter the target recess and get channeled towards the center of Reputt are made putts. Balls that don't are missed putts.
Q: Aren't the collector channel arms too narrow so balls that are a little fast would bounce back onto the mat?
A: Only if the ball has been hit pretty hard. The blocking walls have been engineered to stop reasonably fast balls so in most cases the ball stays in the collector arms like in the below video.
