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

    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.

    So, I'm going on a year and a half...zero signs of wear and tear. No slumping from being soft, only pure turf remains. The tee's got bent after many thousands of bombs but they're still going just fine.

    I'm really stoked people have tried these out and like them as well! There really is nothing to dislike about the mat if you ask me.

    You're welcome players, and Wittek Eagle One! Can I get some sort of discount for sending you business? Just kidding....you've always been good to me.

    This mat has taken my game to the next level and I use it just about every day.

    Get out there and play....

    In a similar position trying to find out what the best option here is for a gargae sim in Canada. With snow 8 months out of the year finding something I can easily move is important. If you find anything let me know. I likely have to go with a strip and two stance mats to figure out all the lefties and righties in this country. Wasn't sure if the Quattro would be even an option for that.

    Interested as well. Did you end up purchasing?

    JeepKing39 - these mats may be too thick to do that? I've seen videos of a guy building a simulator and doing that with plywood, but it was very cheap (artificial carpet/turf) that he stapled to the plywood after wrapping it around.

    Anyone in Canada still have strips for sale?
    This has got to be way better than the $100 3-in-1 mat I'm returning to Sportchek.

    I need something to strike the ball off of in the garage. What inexpensive material could I combine with it to use as my stance mat?

    Probably gonna combine everything on a sheet of plywood countoured by 1x1 wood. That way I can pick it move and move it out of the way when not in use.

    Thanks.

    I need to buy a mat ... fiberbuilt lead time is too long. Considering this Quattro or Rain or Shine option ... anybody have any idea if Quattro will go on sale again??

    Thanks RJBoogie your sample arrived a few days ago. I like it and it seems to be well made. That seems to be close thickness dimensions to Mega Mat? Have you ever used a Mega Mat, or compared that to Fiberbuilt?

    I'm still thinking I may buy a full-on Fiberbuilt for my stance mat, as I have to know for sure that I have no pain, or chances of injuring my arms/wrists from swinging on any other mat as langnolen says above. I've played in Bar Sims just a few rounds, or an hour of hitting balls, and my wrists are sore as heck - I can't risk it...

    Interested, what is the price?

    So the mat arrived late last night and I was able to set it up today. Other than a crease down the middle (which I hope will eventually go away) I'm happy with it. It's soft enough that I had no pain after hitting about 60 balls today. I tried a PRGR swing monitor and it seemed to be giving consistent readings that I get at the driving range, so that's a plus as well. I still want a SkyTrak though because I believe it's readings will be more accurate versus the PRGR and I can see the flight path on a computer.

    I ordered the Quattro last week and it should arrive today. I ordered this net off of Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) since it's portable and I can move it between my garage and back yard. Thankfully I'm in California and can hit outdoors 8-9 months per year since my wife won't let me set up shop permanently in the garage since she doesn't like getting into a hot or cold car (SMH). I figure I can be up and running in about 5-10 minutes between setting up the net and laying down the mat. I'm contemplating a Skytrak but the backorder situation is crazy (4-5 months to get one). Curious how well everything will work out for me.

    I posted some info on this thread...

    I use a Quattro mat with 2 permanent tees. Thus, I like to slide the GC2 between this area and one for hitting directly off the mat. I created my own slider using the following: a) Linear rail guides with ball bearing sliders (CHUANGNENG 2Pcs Linear Rail SBR12-600mm Linear Rail Guide CNC Parts 23.62inch Fully Supported Linear
