 Par2Pro puts the New Grass Top to the test
Par2Pro just got the new grass top in and have given it one heck of a test this past weekend - so the following is an unbiased review of the new surface from the president of Par2Pro based on the himself, an instructor and an average golfer’s point of view. Some highlight pictures are below.
OVERALL
This is a great new option for the P3Pro – it would best be suited for commercial applications, golfers who want to practice iron shots more, or people with wrist/joint problems as it is a little more forgiving.
P3ProSwing has developed and tested the top over the past two years – after 30,000 impact swings they say it still looks like new. With our testing, we would definitely have to agree with their statement.
PROS
Has a little more give than the rubber surface
Grass is rigid bristles that take the hardest hits
Long-Life it has a good balance of give & durability so that it will not wear out
No lubricant needed
The club tape stays on ok
The base unit is flush with the mat
The bristles don’t flake nor does the tape, so no extra concerns over dirty sensors
Has a little more of a real-feel than the rubber surface
CONS
Sensor pad bounced out a little as people were really trying to hit down into it – when we
hit normal it was fine
The bristles stick out about 1/2" higher that the mat (which is more of a preference thing)
The base unit is plastic which we would have preferred they keep the rubber surface – the
good news is that you can barely hit the base through the bristles, maybe after several
years this may become a problem but it would have to be used and abused a lot
The initial cost is high compared to others – although it will last about 20 times longer and
save you a lot in the long run
Our instructor made a great comment that kind of sums it all up:
"I would not normally hit 200 consecutive balls with my iron, as my wrists would start to get sore. After 200 balls with this new top I was just more tired than sore."
So 3 out of 3 different testers agree that this is a great new surface. All three of us want one for our personal system.
I hope that this helps you out with the grass top or no grass top decision, but if you have any other questions (or would like to order your grass top) feel free to contact me at 1-877-417-2161, cory@par2pro.com or visit our website www.par2pro.com.
Take care & happy golfing!
Cory Gauvreau
President, Par2Pro
