Review on 🏌️ Pelz Golf DP4011 Truth Putting Board: Accurate Green Putting Aid for Consistent Improvement by Rob Allen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This is outrageously bad design. I have the same product

This is a horribly bad design. I bought the same product in 2001 and it is in better condition than this new model. What happened? First, the board consists of two pieces that must be joined together, leaving a seam down the center of the ballplay surface. The point of the truthboard is that the user is presented with a pristine interface and in case of a miss, only the user's mistake is left. However, with a seam down the middle, the ball bounces every time. Second, these parts are made of cheap plastic, unlike the metal used in previous versions. The thing is so light and thin that it flexes when you place a racquet on it, again betraying the essence of a flawless 3-foot distance to hit through. Third, the hole you place the ball in is so wide and deep that the ball will bounce out no matter how good your shot is. So now you have two instances where the ball bounces per hit - one after the hit and one when the ball hits the seam halfway up the surface. Fourth, the mirror isn't glass, it's some kind of terribly cheap plastic that's almost non-reflective. You can't see your eyes in it if you lean forward to try and see your eyes in it, much less if you're aiming a punch properly. Fifth, the felt surface itself is much worse than previous models. It's fluffy, like a carpet, rather than dense and smooth. All in all, the Truth Board is a phenomenal product, but this model isn't worth $10, let alone $75. It doesn't work for its intended purpose - it provides a completely neutral surface to practice 3-foot punches on , without leaving it only user error in all failures. It's so bad that I had to write this review, which is actually my first Revain review. So buy a Board of Truth, but not this cheap model.

Pros
  • Mastery of the 3 foot putt leads to better putting success at all distances
Cons
  • Almost never
