Best mat I've ever hit off of, wow!

[Ducati07]

I'm in the process of building my golf sim and have been using old mats from when I was a Golf Course Superintendent. I'm a 50 year old with a 10 handicap with the old system...if that matters. I've also got a wrist that is so bad that when the doctors look at my MRI, they all say...wow, that's impressive since it's so bad. So yes, I need all the cushioning I can get if I want to hit a couple hundred balls at a time off a mat and live to tell about it.

I purchased a CCE mat after reading about it here on this site and ordered through Costco for $450. Then I went to my old club where I was the Super....and they bought new mats which changed everything for me. They were so good that the next day I called the Pro to ask what he purchased. It's the Quattro Mat from Wittek Eagle One....a company I used to buy things from so I was familiar with them. Top notch products for sure.

So I ordered one and will be returning my CCE mat back even before I try to compare. I paid $399 for the Wittek Quattro plus another $100 for shipping. Next day after I ordered (ouch), they went on sale for $325. Get yours now.

Just thought I'd throw this post out there for others that are old and have pain like I do so that there is a solution...the Quarrto!

Play well.

Somewhat related there is another mat I am interested in trying out.. might buy one here soon and compare.

Yea I have been looking at this. I haven't seen any reviews on it however.

Would be interesting to see how it is on the joints, how it is to putt off, and how badly it penalizes fat shots.

I think fiberbuilt is a little too forgiving on fat shots.

Ok , i tried the Quatro tonight..... it’s pretty damn good.

I have:
- Fiberbuilt
-CCE ( will never hit off of this again)
- divot action

IMO this Quatro plays more like real grass, and doesn’t seem to hurt my sensitive elbow (thank you CCE) .

Two thumbs up !

[James Spratke]

How do you like the divot action?

Prefer this over the fiberbuilt and divot action?

That mat looks like a great concept ...my only concern is fatigue in the middle layer of the mat fibres with repeated hitting down on the same area. Does it seem possible that the middle layer could collapse after time and lose its's integrity .? If it did then you may be faced with a depression at the strike area , which rotation of the strip could extend the life of the mat .
Just curious, all options are a plus to the community

I wouldn't be too surprised if over time that does happen however, how long will that take would be my question. And my thought is a very, very long time. Each side of the mat has holes for tees so there's four sections to tee from and I hit irons from all over that mat...it's big enough to move around quite a bit. I've hit probably over a couple thousand shots on it so far and there is zero depressions and no show of it being worn. This mat also doesn't slowly degrade like my others mats...you know it's happening when you look at the bottom of your club and there's a thin layer of green mat. Not with the Quattro.

My guess is that you could many years of use, especially if it's a personal mat. I'd bet they could last for at least a few years outside on a golf course as well....probably longer.

It would be very interesting to see how many thousands of shots this mat would take to be at a point where you're thinking....time for another!

[Kmurray]

Thanks for the response , it sounds like it could be a real alternate option for the community. If the middle layer does not collapse in a short period of time and the hitting turf holds up well, whats not too like.

Thank you for the update.

Ducati07 its been a couple weeks how is the mat holding up in the strike zone and where you stand think about riding one. Also the guys who are getting this mat from China are you guys just getting strips?

[Ducati07]

I've hit many shots on the Quattro without any signs of wear however, I use it with a Skytrack that I can move around so I don't hit from an exact same spot every time.

I was just at the course yesterday where I found the Quattro and I looked at their mats....zero worn areas. They look like new and the range was packed.

[Jeff50316]

And what size is the Quattro mat it doesn’t say on the web site

[Ducati07]

It's a 5' x 5' mat with eight holes for rubber/plastic tees like the pictures I posted.

[awisnia]

Am I the only one using the 5 Star Urethane Perfect ReACTION Golf Mats?? I've had mine for three years and everybody loves it. Nice thick fibers that hold a real tee. Usi it with skytrak and do not see an issue with wear spots...5x5 is like $250 with free shipping.

[jerry3]

awisnia i've had it but not really a fan, don't feel like i can get down and through like with fiberbuilt.

[abenjami]

I used a ReACTION mat as the top layer of my stance mat that sits up against my Fiberbuilt hitting strip. My ReAction is on top of some of those foam tile squares. I've hit off it several times and it's ok but I prefer the Fiberbuilt. The ReACTION is a bit grabby IMO.

[Jeff50316]

Ducati07 and you said you paid $399 plus a $100 shipping? I was looking on the site and it says $275 now. Here is a link. This is the same mat correct? https://www.wittekgolf.com/Quattro-Mat

[Ducati07]

HA! Yeah, that's the same one. I paid $399 plus $100 shipping then it went on sale for $325 the next day. They gave me $80 refund right away when I asked and now I'm going to mention this! Either way....I'm happy and I'm sure you will be as well.

[Jeff50316]

Well I Talked with them threw chat and it is the same mat they have on sale because of the pga show. So I got a 5x5 Quattro mat shipped for 370$

[Ducati07]

Nice! Enjoy....

Hello everyone. Glad you like our Quattro mats. If anyone has questions regarding quattro's (or any other products we have), we would be happy to provide answers.

I already have a full stance Matt and frame
Is it possible to get a custom size strip that I can fit into my stance Matt set up
Or will I need to purchase a 5x5 and cut it up

[Wittek Golf]

Unfortunately there no custom cuts on Quattros

[wbond]

Do you happen to have anymore of just the magstrike hitting surface strip, not the whole system, just the turf strip.

We have one left, but it's smaller one: 14" x 26". We also have few larger ones but with no inserts

I like the comments here on durability. I had the same concerns as @Kmurray immediately. The middle layer just does not look like it's going to hold up. However if @Ducati07 is saying a couple thousands shots with no depression, perhaps that judgement is wrong. I'd think there would have to be some indication of that layer being the weak point by then.

I like the idea, just the durability being a concern. I'm hitting off a mat from Rawhide right now (Top Golf resellers) and it's good, but I have the distinct feeling it could be better. Will watch this product. Thanks!

[Ducati07]

Now I've hit close to at least a few thousand shots without rotating the mat once. No depression or being weak and my judgement is spot on. This mat is way more stout than your judgement leads you to believe. If this thing was already showing wear, I'd be really disappointed and warn everyone to stay away however, it's still in brand new condition....believe it or not.

[Shipwreck34]

Well, I'd say this one is a contender in any case once I wear my current one down! Appreciate the input.

[linkkingx]

Has anybody received a strip of this mat yet to replace their fiberbuilt strip? I would love to hear some detailed comparisons. I'm in the process of planning a new sim room with a raised floor and a centered hitting strip and might consider this over fiberbuilt, which I have a lot of experience with.

[Uk101jkt]

I have one in order from China and will replace the fiberbuilt strip. With Chinese New year and now coronavirus, it is taking a while to send. I will update when I get it but it could be a while.
