Using the Pure 2 Improve Golf Putting Mat is easy. Just lay it out on a flat surface and start practicing your putts. You can place the Pure2Improve Putting Mirror on the lines of the mat to help you align your stroke at different distances. When using it, make sure the surface is clean and free of debris to ensure a smooth roll of the ball. As for maintenance, simply wipe the mat with a damp cloth after each use to keep it clean. Store it in a dry place to prevent damage. If you notice any signs of wear and tear, it's a good idea to replace it to maintain the quality of your practice.
