Full Review
If the full Perfect Practice mat is too long for your room, the Compact version cuts it to 8 ft. You keep the velvet surface, the alignment lines and the magnetic ball return, but you get one precision hole instead of two. Eight feet still covers the putts that cost most amateurs strokes (inside 6 ft), so you lose less than you might think. It suits a hallway, an office or the space between the sofa and the TV.

Who Is This For?
Buy this over the full-size mat only if space is tight. Otherwise spend the extra $20 for the longer surface and second hole.
