How do I know which depth to order?
How do I know which depth to order?
Measure the distance from the top of your turf surface down to the subfloor or concrete beneath it. That measurement is your depth. Most foam tile builds fall between 1"–1.5". Most glue-down or staple-down turf systems on concrete run 1.5"–2". If you're between two sizes, size down and/or order a shim kit. A slightly shorter cup is better than one that sits proud above the surface.
Will it work with my turf brand?
Will it work with my turf brand?
Shallow Cups is designed to work with any simulator turf system, regardless of brand. As long as your turf is between 1" and 2" thick and sits on a flat subfloor, it will fit. If your turf is thicker than 2", contact us and we'll discuss custom sizing.
Is the diameter regulation size?
Is the diameter regulation size?
A regulation golf cup measures 4.25" in diameter. Our Shallow Cups are custom designed at 4" to simplify installation while maintaining an authentic putting experience. Due to the thin wall design, the difference in playable radius is only about 1/16" and is virtually unnoticeable during use.
Can I use it on natural grass or outdoor turf?
Can I use it on natural grass or outdoor turf?
Shallow Cups are designed specifically for indoor golf simulators and putting turf installed over a flat subfloor. For outdoor or natural grass applications, please contact us directly, as we offer alternative designs and materials better suited for exterior environments.
Installation
Do I need to drill into my concrete or subfloor?
Do I need to drill into my concrete or subfloor?
Nope, that's the whole point. Shallow Cups seats directly into your turf layer without touching the subfloor beneath. No coring, no drilling, no contractor required.
What tools do I need to install it?
What tools do I need to install it?
Just a sharp utility knife or hole saw to cut the turf. No power tools, no adhesive, no fasteners.
How long does installation take?
How long does installation take?
Most customers are done in 15–20 minutes including cleanup. If you've already measured and have your tools ready, you can have it in the ground in under 5.
Can I remove it without damaging my turf?
Can I remove it without damaging my turf?
Yes. The cup pulls straight out. Because it doesn't use adhesive or fasteners, removal leaves the turf intact. You can reposition it or replace it without re-turfing. Most customers keep the core plug handy for this reason.
What happens to the turf plug I cut out?
What happens to the turf plug I cut out?
Keep it. When you pair the cup with the Shallow Insert, your original turf plug sits on top of the insert and covers the hole completely. The surface looks seamless whether you're putting or not. It's also handy to replace the hole if you decide to move positions.
