The Green Stage can replicate any putt under 15 feet as it offers up to 12% variation in rise and fall slope. It also delivers variable contours, multiple cups, touch-screen operation, and a quick-change putting surface which can replicate a variety of green speeds.
The Green Stage can also easily be converted to a full-swing platform for other types of practice.
A touch screen remote enables users to dial in custom slope settings, or to choose from pre-set slopes and challenges which can be created and stored in unlimited numbers.
Game Booster
The Zen Green Stage is an extremely versatile platform that allows you to gain a greater understanding of putting – the importance of slope, of pace and of break.
It’s great for emphasising the importance of alignment to any putt, whether it’s relatively straight, or more of a breaker. It’s also very good for getting a better handle on the pace of your putts, particularly when it comes to the uphill and downhill putts.
In addition, the Green Stage can be converted for use as a full swing platform allowing you to practice shots from up, down and side-hill lies. Normally, it’s very difficult to recreate those scenarios in practice but the Green Stage can do it in seconds. While access to the Zen Green Stage in the UK is limited, it's certainly worth a try if there's one in your area.
