Simply put, we use foam because it’s the only material we have found that mimics the spongy feel and true roll of a natural putting surface. We believe that you should practice on a surface that closely replicates a natural putting surface. Accurate feedback is essential when it comes to putting practice.
Competitor greens may look like a putting green, but they do not perform like a natural putting green. Our quest for a true-rolling surface is what led to the development of the patented BirdieBall putting green, and the decision to use an aerated foam technology. One common misconception is that we use foam because it’s cheap. This is simply not the case. We could easily make our greens out of turf or carpet, but we prioritize accuracy and feel above all else. The truth of the matter is that artificial greens made out of a woven synthetic material simply do not mimic the roll or feel of a natural putting surface.
