Video review for the Intech Automatic Putting Cup that will disprove most other reviews posted here. This review was taken one put after the product was first removed from the packaging. After sinking a 10 foot put, I was extremely disappointed that the electric put return was less than 2 feet. Terrible product. Should have returned it while I still could and not waited until 6 days after my return expiration date to open it. Highly advise NOT to buy this product. The video evidence does not lie like the other reviews do [low price and reviews were why I bought the product].

Basically does what it says but with a couple of weaknesses:

First, some putts which enter the unit stop without rolling into the middle cup, which means they are not returned and you have to go get your ball...

Second, the return distance is not consistent. While you usually get a 10-foot return on commercial carpet, it is not unsual for it to only kick it out a few feet. Having the back of the unit against a wall or chair helps so all the force of the return mechanism goes into striking the ball. If not secured, some of the force actually moves the unit backwards a smidge (same principle as recoil when firing a gun).

I'd pay another $10 if these issues were fixed, but still probably would buy this unit again...

Remember, drive for show, putt for dough and you can practice putting in your office for free, but practicing drives is expensive and dangerous).

I got this for my husband for Valentine's Day. We live in Wyoming in the snow and he is a true blue Arizona boy just dying to get out and golf. He had set himself up a putting station in our basement with boxes so I figured this would be great for him!! He loves it. He plays putt putt all the time now!! :) (I love it too!)

Great product, works great and no complaints. If I were buying a gift of this type of item I would definatley order this one again.

Less than expectation as the bounce back power is weak.
On the other hand, I am a non-US user that the power of this device limit to 110V that does not work in our country that needs extra coverter. And this is not mentioned in the description.
Quite disappointing product.

This is great for practicing your shot, it really kicks the ball back to you.

To the want to be better putters out there, save your money. I knew there was a reason this item was priced so cheap. Everything arrived in good shape and on time and that's all the good I have to say. Very thin plastic and it only throws the ball back about 2-3 inches, maybe. I tried it on more than one plug in. Maybe I got a lemon, not worth my time to waste gas and spend money on the postage to return it, even if Amazon did offer to pay for it. I can't believe Amazon would let such a company sell this product on their web site. Surely, somebody tested it. Maybe not and maybe that's why the price was so low. Spend a little more and actually get a return that gets the ball back out of the tray.

Thanks,

The thing that shoots the ball out after doesn't work welll at all the ball goes maybe 2 feet! Buy something else!

My Dad was reminising about his old "Putt-Putt" return the other month, so I looked on Amazon and found one just like it. He is lonely, my Mom passed away about a year ago, and this is perfect for him. Love it. It is pretty inexpensive, but works great. He likes the fact that you can be about 20 ft back and it will return the ball, no problem . (That is if you make it into the cup :))

Its a good price. I bought it for my daughter to practice inside. Everything is ok but it pathetically returns the ball about a foot and a half. Not much worth plugging it in. Many years ago I used one that would easily send it 10 ft across the room. Get what you pay for I guess but overall not terrible
