The Original Country Club Elite® by Real Feel Golf Mats® 10”X30” Hitting Strip | Heavy Duty Commercial Practice Mat | Accepts A Real Tee | Swing Down and Through | Indoor/Outdoor

Great mat. I have been using cheaper 5x4 mats, but between my two boys(18 and 20) and myself we wear them out in about a month. I cut the exact shape of this mat in the large mat then rubber cemented it in with cheap foam mats as a substrate. Making a 5x4 practice mat that is great. This one little piece has lasted months and shows no real wear. we use it 3-5 times a week indoor and out.

I ordered this hitting strip hoping that it would be worth the ~$50 I paid for it. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised by it's weight, and thickness. I've now several hundreds of balls off of it and feel that it is one of the best game-improvement purchases I've ever made. The mat came with one tee holder into which you push your own tee. It is the same size as the thickness of the mat, so that if, for example you have a 2-1/2" and you push it all the way down into the holder, it raises the ball height by 1" off the mat. You can adjust it up and down as needed, and it firmly holds the plastic tees I use. It rarely comes out of the holder, or changes settings, even after hitting driver a dozen times. I use the hitting strip in my yard to hit into a practice net and it really saves my yard. I made a 36"x48"x1-1/2" treated plywood platform and covered it with a rubber roofing walk pad so that my feet would be level with top of the mat. It's the perfect height platform. The mat has already paid for itself as compared to what I would have paid to hit balls at the local driving range. Plus, I can really work on my swing, set up a work station, use impact tape, video record, and take my time, all in the privacy of my back yard. I should have done this years ago! Update: a year and a half, and thousands of balls latter, this mat is still working GREAT. I've had days where my goal was to hit 350 balls a day, weeks of 1k plus, and the mat is still going strong. I can't see having to replace it for at least two or three more years. One thing to note is that I do keep it out of the sun, and since it is not very large it is easy to pick up. and put away.

Great mat, does as advertised. This size slides a little bit but better than anything else at that price

Best hitting mat ever, especially the cost. Wish I found this mat 3 years ago. Must have for anyone with a golf sim.

Update 2-10-20: I moved. Dug up the previously buried mat and relocated it at new house. Except for the grass roots that had infiltrated the outermost 0.25", it looks brand new. I am back to get another one because my new yard gives me multiple angles. I have hit tens of thousands more shots, mostly irons, and this thing still holds a ball on a tee perfectly, grass still looks like new. Update 10-5-17: This thing has held up amazingly, would give 6 stars. I have hit literally tens of thousands of balls off it now, and it still performs like new. I actually dug a hole in my yard, and set it in the ground flush several months ago to hit into an outdoor net. It has shown no ill effects from being buried. Still stand by the old review below. I bought two when I bought this one, hardly used the other indoors. If this one ever wears out, I will simply replace. Best mat ever for the price. Buy it. (Old review below) Not as good as real grass but if the spectrum spans from real grass to the average driving range mat, this mat is 80% to grass. I have hit a thousand shots off the same 4 inch square piece of the mat to test wear and tear, and you can't tell where that patch is by looking. It is thick, and required me to make a platform to stand on.

While nice to hit off, the sheer height of this mat makes it impractical to hit off. You need to go with the full size mat that you can stand on (which is ridiculously expensive), or alternatively, dig a small hole in the ground to place it in / build some type of thing to stand to match the height and make sure that doesn't move when you swing (which is harder than you think and very hard to move once completed).

I have a 4 x 5 extra thick mat, but it was a bit too hard and causing some injuries. I use this as an insert now. No more injuries. Great hitting mat.

I purchased this to use with the Rukket Haack golf net. Both had good reviews here on Amazon. I wanted a mat to practice my form & club speed at home. On my first use of this product I made repeated hits with real golf balls off of it for several hours. I hit full swing long & short irons, fairway woods & driver off the tee shots, including some fat hits. The mat gave nice feedback through out & showed no signs of wear, no color or plastic transfer on any of the clubs I used. This mat is thick. My solution for this, we had a tree removed from the yard. Because of this there is a recessed area where this mat sat well in. I did get a little bit of movement from time to time, but no more than I have had with other ones I've used. This comes with two holes cut in it that accept a rubber holder (one is included) & it will hold a standard golf tee. The tee stayed put all thru the time I used it, only having to adjust tee height a bit. The mat I ordered shipped flat, so it arrived that way and has stayed that way, so far. I am happy with this purchase.
