I am building a simulator in my basement and have a question regarding mats. I plan to use Skytrack and have picked out a 4' x 4' mat for all clubs except the putter. My questions are, what is a good mat for putting and where is the proximity of both mats relative to Skytrak? Thanks.

More than likely will not work having two mats unless you physically move the ST for each shot. It's window is too small. Someone made a slider specifically to do this. I think linear bearings or something from amazon. -
I just started using my putter with Skytrak on TruGolf software. To be honest it leaves a lot to be desired. I put off my hitting mat. I still use it but it is frustrating. I am going to set up another area next to my hitting area to practice putting. I will keep putting on the sim but look at it as not practice and more of a game. If that makes since? In real life golf I practice putting but around here it seems every course has different speeds. So I wait to really practice putting until I get to the course I am playing.Comment

I set 10’ gimmies and nicknames putts between 10-20ft as the “devils distance”, never know how many misreads I will get - sometimes 0 and sometimes 3-4. Anything longer generally read just fine.
TruGolf blames Skytrak for this. Just FYI.
I also found slightly better success by setting putting speed to slow, lining the golf ball logo facing Skytrak (about an inch behind the laser) and not using a putter with white in the head.
Other than the putting misreads, TruGolf is a fantastic package, built for sims.Comment
