  • Need recommendations for turf to use in custom stance mat

    I am building a custom stance mat to go with my Fiberbuilt hitting strip. Looking for some recommendations for turf you guys have used for stance mats/areas that you really like.

    I thought the Premium Ultimate Tee mat from allturfmats.com would be a good one but I just received it and I hate it. First of all, their website says it is 2 inches thick, which is the perfect height to pair with a Fiberbuilt hitting strip. But is blatantly not true, it's barely 1.5 inches thick. It also feels way too mushy to stand on, sort of like if you stood on a soggy fairway.

    At this point, I pretty much figure what I need to do is buy some turf and build it up with plywood, MDF, and foam tiles to the height I want.

    Any recommendations for turf?

    Also, i'm building a 4x4 mat so if anyone has a good recommendation for a premade 4x4 stance mat that I could build up, that would be good too.

    Actually as far as use as just a stance mat goes, I actually like their (allturfmats) thinner Premium Residential mat. Also very easy to cut down if you can't find the exact size you want. Yes, you need to build up the height to match the FB but that's not difficult with some plywood and lumber - but that's much less expensive than buying a big rubber base like FB uses for their stance mats.

      Can you tell me how thick your mat is? Obviously I can't trust the specs on their website...

        Full thickness - not just the pile height:

        Premium Residential - 5/8"
        Super Tee 1-1/4".
