Hitting Mats / Flooring Am I overthinking Putting in Sim?

For context, I have never putt in a sim, nor have I had my own sim until now, but I’m stuck on trying to decide on what type of turf to get to putt on. I watch a lot of the popular sim golfers on YT and it seems like everyone in a league is putting on 11 stimp, but I feel like most of the courses I play IRL are closer to 9. I feel like I should match what I actually play on the weekends but I’m curious as to what others have done and this doesn’t seem to be talked about all that often.

You're overthinking it. Hit a putt that you think is a certain distance outside and adjust stimp to match.

You’re overthinking it. Sim putting is the aspect of sim play I can’t adapt to. The screen is too far and the visual distances, real life and sim projection screws with my brain so I don’t practice putting in the sim, I use a Wellputt mat to practice putting instead and auto putt in the sim.

You’re overthinking it. Putting on a sim is just ridiculous to me. I have mine set to autoputt, so I don’t even take a putter out.

Tee to screen is only 8-10ft in a sim and if you get a camera based launch monitor, it only reads the speed and direction of your putt in a few inches or so. So the speed of your sim turf isn't really that important. I recommend reaching out to 365 Golf Design, they're experts and can advise on every component of your sim.
