The speed was comparable to most of the greens around town when they are actually green and not burned out. I am not a stimp meter guru, but 9-10 sounds about right. Probably a touch slower than the Carnoustie mat that you can get with the Boomerang if you have used one of those (another great product, see link on the home page) but defintely not like putting on concrete or the tile floor.

From all of the artificial putting greens I have tried, the Turf Tiles are probably closest to actual green speeds that I play. Since I will never get to play Augusta, I do not have to worry about practicing on concrete.
