EXPUTT RG – NEW Putting Simulator – Unboxing, First Look, & Review! ?
What’s up everybody welcome back to golf simulator
videos we’re back today with the xputt putting
simulator but not just the xputt the xputt rg this
is an all-new model bringing a ton of new features
to the table if you guys watched our coverage
of the xputt putting simulator in the past
this thing is really cool total portable unit that
you can essentially plug into any tv using hdmi
but this unit is bringing a lot more to the table
this has built-in wi-fi and they actually have an
app now so you could use this with an iphone
or ipad essentially anywhere connecting with
wi-fi not needing a tv or anything or you could
airplay from your device to a tv and have them
both running all kinds of different possibilities
we’re here to do a full unboxing and review and
show you some of these new features and a first
look at the all-new xputt rg so let’s go ahead and
dive right in here we go nice compact box you can
see right on the front it says accurate ball speed
and direction putting stroke analysis realistic 3d
graphics and putting practice and gain so let’s go
ahead and open this up uh you know xputt impressed
me
device is so small and the software is built right
inside of the unit so if you just want to plug
this into a tv with an hdmi cable you’re good to
go the software runs right from the unit but now
with the ability to run this app you know with an
iphone or ipad i just feel like the possibilities
are endless i mean you could take this this device
walk into a office or a friend’s house wherever
it may be you don’t even need a proper setup
with a tv you could have this running anywhere
you know virtually anywhere you know so the mats
only about this long we’re going to show you all
that here but let’s go ahead and dive right into
this unboxing documentation and then also you’re
going to have your club stickers that are included
because this has the ability to show you that path
and face of your putter i showed that in previous
videos very cool stuff here is the actual xputt rg
module or unit this has a new camera system for
better ball tracking and club tracking all right
i think that’s really cool they’re obviously
stepping up their game you can see that this is
uh the wi-fi connection right here i believe with
this usb adapter all right and then they have this
screw on the bottom because they have a new design
all right let’s go ahead and we’ll get this second
box out here so i can show you a little more of
what’s included i believe this is all of your
cables and everything inside of here so if we open
this up you’re going to see your power adapter and
then also included hdmi cable to usbc connection
all right and then your power brick all right to
power all of that included pretty simple stuff
and then you can take out your little plastic
holder for the x-put uh you know device itself
we’ll get out this other box this other box when
we open this up um you know the fact that you can
use this both ways now with tv and an app i just
think you know this makes this thing so much more
powerful and just easy to use remote control that
you can use so if you have it connected to your tv
you can control the device itself you know through
its application you know selecting menus things
along those lines very nice small simple remote
and then this is what’s really cool is this all
new tripod design that they came out with so uh
basically i’ll set this aside you can simply take
this all right and screw it into the bottom of
the xputt unit and then you’re going to now screw
the bottom of this into the bottom of that little
tripod now the x-put only needs to be about two
feet off the ground this is already giving you
almost a foot you could even you know bring it up
a little bit taller like that if you want but with
this built-in tripod you know this is what’s
going to make this so easy to set up anywhere
i think last time i even used the box just to
set this on top of just to make sure i have
you know the applicable height to do its
little quick configuration which we’ll be
able to show you guys in the video here shortly
but let’s go ahead and we’ll set the big box
down on the ground and then we will show you
guys the actual putting mat now the putting mat
is i believe pretty much identical to what it was
before because there’s just no need to change that
it does come with this bag like it did before
which i think is really nice because you could
essentially put the mat and the module in there if
you want and i believe there’s even talk of them
coming up with possibly a portable little case
where you could take this over a friend’s house
you know let’s say it’s masters day everybody’s
getting together to watch the tournament you
want to bring over your xputt so you guys can
have some maybe friendly gambling if you will
you know putting along the way while you’re
watching the masters tournament but if you just
unroll this mat you can see that this
thing is only a few feet long it has the
memory foam in the front where the ball hits
and what’s really nice is it just absorbs the
ball it doesn’t bounce back or anything rolls up
easy and then it has these identifiers right here
for the camera to calibrate which i’ll show you
how to do here in just a minute just makes it
really really simple to use so what i’m going to
do is is i’m going to dive right in i’m going to
get this thing set up i’m going to show you guys
how easy it is to use show you the software we’ll
take a first look at all that do a quick review
hit some putts and then talk about some more of
the features and things that are available because
now that this has built-in wi-fi well guess what
they also have online play so yes you can
play your friends that have export devices
and compete in different things they have more
courses now that are available real courses that
are available because you’re going to create an
account online they’re going to have competitions
and things along those lines because this has
built-in wi-fi internet capability so really
really cool stuff let’s show you this thing in
action all right guys welcome back so we have
our x-put rg all set up here with our tv i figured
this would be the best thing to really demonstrate
the new xputt rg in action because not only am
i doing a screen recording so you can kind of
get a better idea of the graphics uh keep in mind
it’s probably going to look a little more crisp on
your tv versus the recording um i do have a couple
extra wires because i am doing um you know a video
pull from the xputt device so just understand it’s
gonna be a little more simple for you but a couple
things i wanted to point out so you can actually
most these new tvs have a usb port on them you
can actually power the device just running the usb
right to the tv and then just hdmi from the device
to a tv and you’re good to go now i am going to
demonstrate that app as well in another video
where you can simply just use your iphone and
just plo you know what you actually uh power on
the device you switch it to its bluetooth mode i
believe is how it’s connecting because it changes
to blue it’s like a mobile mode is what they’re
calling it and then once that’s flashing blue you
open the app and it automatically connects it’s
actually very easy so i was messing with that a
little bit but we’re pretty much good to go here
you can see that i created an account which you
do need to create an account in order to download
updates download courses things along those lines
but the first thing i want to do is i just want
to demonstrate the actual device like i have
in the past so i’m just going to go to classic
all right and then i’m going to go to practice
and then i have my green speed on 10 we’ll just
use the lake uh maximum distance 30 minimum
distance five i have this all set up pretty pretty
good for us already so we can just kind of go from
there but let’s go ahead and just jump out and
practice i’m gonna show you guys really quick that
i do have the two white dots on my putter okay
that are gonna allow us to track both the path
and the face all right so we have a six foot
putt to start with you’ll notice that i just
set the device on a little table that i had
here it puts it up a little bit higher than
necessary very easy to calibrate now if
i just go ahead and cover this camera up
you guys are going to see that it’s actually
going to be looking to calibrate okay and then
when i release that it will find the
mat and boom you can just see how fast
it grabs the mat and will calibrate so we’ll just
do that one more time and i’m going to kind of
partially cover it if i can because if i partially
cover it you’ll be able to see that it’s looking
okay so see how it’s looking for those white
rectangles and then it snaps on and it’s good to
go so just to kind of give you an idea so a little
six foot putt let’s go ahead and give this a shot
nailed it first time gotta love that my putter
path was uh right point nine my face point six
uh launch direction point six to the right
so within that short distance i was able
to hold on to that putt but i did just
push that just a little bit to the right
you’ll see i have ball speed and actually gives
you a visual of that path over to the right
and then it actually gives you an overall kind of
uh you know visual of if you were short or long
or right or left of all your pots which i think is
pretty cool 26 feet okay this will be interesting
now what i’m going to do with this one
is is i’m actually going to purposely
pull this a little bit left so you guys
can get path and face data from it okay
i purposely pulled that just a little bit left
you’ll see that it’s on the left edge of the cup
all right you’ll see that my path was .7 to
the right but my face was 0.3 to the left
now i’ll go ahead and i’ll pull i’ll
be a little more extreme on this one
i’m going to pull this a
little bit harder to the left
and this is only 13 feet
and you’ll see how much more impactful it is
when you really have i have my my putter path
you know right 5.1 but my face angle i just closed
it right down and it was left 3.9 okay so let’s go
ahead and ready see if we can just make one again
we’ll do 21 feet try to keep this dead straight
oh yeah that’s going to be to the right i just uh
i just pushed that i mean i knew right away that
that was going to the right that’s why i wanted
to give you guys the camera in the back so you
could see where it’s hitting on the mat all right
let me get this straightened out again 19 feet
that was a perfect example for you guys to see
see if i can keep this straight that was better
oh leave it a little bit
short that was a good putt too
i just left it a little bit short it’s impressive
how once you start hitting on this and you
visualize you think in your head about you know 15
feet how you don’t even worry about the ball
stopping after a few feet all right so 15 feet
i pulled that a little bit i got the speed
but it was just a little bit to the left
all right and i’m sure you could
see that ball hit left up there
26 feet i love i mean look how you know with
this new camera it’s picking up i have decent
light in here but i don’t have any special
lighting going on these are just you know
a couple can lights throughout the room and it’s
picking up the path in the face every single time
with no issue so something to point out this
new camera system in the xputt rg you know i’m
not using any you know supplemental lighting if
you will to have it pick that data up 26 feet
pulled it just a little bit catch
an edge look at that barely barely
but i got it so i’m kind of getting used to it
now all right so i need to show you guys some more
features so let’s go ahead and go to our menu and
i’m going to uh go over i’ll just go to finish the
session because it’s actually going to take you to
a screen that actually will show your 0 to 10 feet
putts your 10 to 20 foot putts your 20 to 30 and i
cut off at 30 but you’ll see i left a couple short
i hit one long i hit a couple really really good
and you can see there um you know all of your data
it’s just really really cool how they
give you all this and then you can even go
it’ll do like you know uh different you know
uh impact angles and paths all right there’s
there’s no data to analyze on that i haven’t
messed with all that but they actually have
other types of progresses that you can do i think
that’s really cool um let’s go back and then what
i wanted to show you guys which is uh a big
big feature you know coming to this xputt rg
all right we’ll go back one more so
easy to use with the remote as well
multiplayer so i have an account created and
i’ve connected this to my wi-fi as you can see
on the upper right it has wi-fi built into it i’m
going to go to multi and then what this is is this
is where not only can you create multiplayer okay
challenges but you can play them as well so you’ll
see there’s actually three that are available
right now that people have created so these
are users you know across the united states
is what we have it filtered out to right now
and if i go into that all right it looks like
it might be a private room i’m not able to uh
actually play that if i were to create it or
someone were to create one where i’m able to join
than i could but unfortunately that’s a private
challenge that’s going on so i can’t join that
but it’s this easy just to create and play those
different challenges now what i wanted to show you
guys is is if i go to classic for instance and i
go to play nine here’s another huge feature that
they’ve added all right uh you can actually play
courses all right now the background is going to
be an x-put background so you can select what kind
of course you want as a background but when i go
to search from list all right i can go to usa and
has 70 courses from all of these different states
okay that you can play now i’ve already went to
Michigan and i selected eagle eye which is over
by Lansing it actually has a replica tpc 17 green
which is really cool but you can either select the
enter the out of that course okay i selected
the out in this case um and then i selected my
background which would be green mountain but you
could change that so like let’s go to sunny valley
for instance i don’t think i’ve ever shown that in
any videos and let’s go to start and then now this
is going to be the eagle eye greens okay that
you’re actually playing so the undulation they’ve
gotten from these courses you know using
green books the the shaping of the courses
and then obviously the background is going
to be the background that we chose so
the first one is 38 feet 5 inches downhill i’ve
shown this in the past as well how you can just
go right down here and actually select on your
mat to go right or left you can see that that’s
breaking a little bit right to left so i’m just
going to aim that a little bit to the right i
wonder if that’s enough because it’s such a
long pot maybe i’ll go one more to the right
let’s see how that is right there um 38 feet five
inches downhill what a challenging putt this is
i don’t think that was even close to hard enough
and looked like i had the no i got it the five
inches really helped the five inches helped when
i thought but i’ll tell you what i think i pulled
it just a little bit and that break was much more
than i expected so it’s moving just a little bit
uh right to left now so maybe i’ll just move
it one over and and you gotta remember you can
always just aim a little bit right ready and
do it that way which is easy so let’s try that
because it’s barely moving this is only five feet
there we go nice par perfect so i parted the hole
and i was good to go um now if you actually are
playing a course that you’ve played before it’s
great because you’re going to recognize the pin
location you’re going to recognize the undulation
and it’s going to feel like you’re playing that
green so i think that it’s really cool that
they’ve now integrated actual greens okay uh
from courses in the software so that kind of you
know wraps that up makes it pretty simple to uh
you know kind of talk about so you guys
can understand how that works i’m actually
gonna finish this session i went back but we’ll
just do finish session and then we’ll go okay
it’ll take us back to the main menu because i
did want to just let you guys know that there
are challenges that are available so if you go
to challenge all right you can select all the
same things and then you can play the challenge
on the different courses all right you can play
nine you can practice like i showed and there’s
also this explorer mode which is pretty cool so if
you’re on the explorer mode okay you can actually
still select your course all right let’s go to
uh eagle eye out again i guess is fine
let’s change let’s change this this is
what i was meaning to do let’s go to um you
know the blue coast and then we’ll go to start
then i’ll show you what it allows
you to do which is really cool
is you can actually just explore the green and
select the position all right which is a really
really cool alternative that they’ve come up with
here so one i can actually select the green that
i want all right so there’s all nine holes out
at eagle eye all right so i’m gonna go ahead
and just select i believe it was number eight
there and then once i get out to number eight
i can actually select my position
so let’s say i want to move
right over here and you can see the undulation
on the green and select a 10 foot putt
all right once i do that it’s going to take
me out to my 10 foot pot and then what i’m
going to do this time is i’m going to just aim
right with the x putt rather than aiming with
how i showed you guys you can go left or
right so it’s going a little bit right to left
but it’s flat it’s 10 feet let’s see
if i can actually read that break right
oh just too much too much break i needed
to go just a little bit more right or
possibly a little more speed ready
let’s see if we can finish this off
that’s not really moving much not for
uh not for a little three foot putt
all right so it’s as easy as that and then
you can go practice now i could play this
from the same position why don’t i hit this one
more time and see if i can aim just a little
bit further right than i did on that last
one and maybe we can get this in the hole
got it all right so if that wasn’t a good
example i don’t know what is because i was
able to see how it was breaking i played at
the appropriate distance over to the right
and uh at a similar speed you know maybe
just a tiny bit faster and i was able to
make the putt so i think that that really
is a great demonstration of how this works
so hey first look video unboxing of the xputt
rg i really want to know what you guys think i
mean comment below any questions that you have
you know if you’re using xputt rg already but
if you’re not make sure you click the link down in
the description and pin to the top of the comments
all right that will help support the channel and
it will take you right to the xputt website where
you can purchase the all new xputt rg i’m really
excited to dive more into it learn more about it
play some online games very exciting stuff
and i just really appreciate the new camera
a lot i don’t know if you guys notice how you
know accurate it was but it was reading that
path in that face every single time and i don’t
have any special supplemental lighting at all
i don’t even have a camera light on today
so really interested to hear what you guys
say i appreciate you guys watching as always
stay tuned there’ll be much more coming soon.
