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.

Brettster i would not recommend hitting off the putting turf. I tried that on putting turf (which stumps out at 9) and note that it was tough on my wrists. I decided to give it a try, but it was pretty hard on the old body.

[Brettster]

Dax oh yes, I know that, what I was trying to explain is that I would use the putting turf as a stance mat by itself, and not have a separate stance mat sitting on top of it. I already know I will be hitting off of FiberBuilt, as that is covering the top of my ProTee sensor mat. So, once I get the flooring built out (by using 2x4's on their sides, it gives me 3.5-4.0" underneath that I can cut cups out of, and to 'embed' the ProTee swing sensor into, as that is quite thick by itself, and with the FiberBuilt mat already installed on top it it may already be as high as the floor itself... with the putting turf (and interlocking foam panels underneath it)

I'm wondering if I used the interlocking foam mats - underneath the entire floor, with putting turf over it, if that would feel natural enough for my stance, that I would not need an actual stance mat (and save myself $400), or if I need extra padding of a real Stance Mat, even though I know I'll be laying that down flush (next to) where the ProTee sensor mat is embedded in the flooring. So, I will never be actually swinging a club to hit off of putting turf, but I would be standing on putting turf with the foam interlocking tiles under it.

I'm sure there are others that do this - probably those with ProTee simulators? Can someone chime in on, if they still use a stance mat, or if they just stand on their putting turf to hit off of their ProTee sensor?

Thanks in advance,
-Brett

How thick is the YGT3D?

[Brettster]

Dude, your hijacking every thread... you can comment directly underneath posts, like this ('Comment'), and that way you don't fill up an entire thread with your questions... Make sense?

[steve51523]

Who cares Brettster

[Brettster]

Yeah, who cares about you steve51523 ? Not me...

[gibbiesmalls]

How thick is the YGT3D?

Real thick.

[steve51523]

2 inches? 1.5 inches?

[Ducati07]

Update: Six months later and literally thousands upon thousands of shots. Zero signs of worn areas (except the plastic tees are bending). And it's not smashed down like many were concerned would happen....not yet anyway and I still don't see that happening any time soon.

Now it's time to find a turf for an outside putting green...a really big one.

Glad to see others are enjoying the Quattro as well!

Play well.

[bogey]

Thank you for the update!

[gibbiesmalls]

2 inches? 1.5 inches?

4" inches I think

[gibbiesmalls]

All you had to do was going back 1 page, and you would have gotten your answer. This thread is 8 pages long, that question was asked and answered.

1 1/4"

[steve51523]

that was the height of the quattro mat and not the YGT-3D hitting strip.

[gibbiesmalls]

Quattro, YGT-3D, Matsforfun, Golfingmats, HAL9000 Mats, -same mat, different names.

[steve51523]

I was planning on just doing hitting inserts recessed into the floor. YGT-3D were $75 and $100 for shipping for a 2x4. Is that my best option or Would you recommend something different?

[linkkingx]

I was actually planning on ordering a couple of YGT inserts at 12" x 35". That is the same size as the fiberbuilt insert so theoretically I won't have to make any adjustments to the cutout in my turf if I want to switch.

[steve51523]

Steve told me the inserts were 60cm by 120cm so basically 2x4.

Now thinking about this https://www.par2pro.com/shop/product...1uc786jj27mgd0

[linkkingx]

Yeah if I can't order that size custom I'd cut it to that anyway so I'll have the option to switch back and forth.

I just started putting items together for a new sim room build and came across this thread. I ended up ordering the Quattro golf mat from Wittek based on previous posts and the OP. I’m glad I did so far. The company was awesome to deal with. They shipped quickly I received it next day (Chicago to Detroit). I want to mention too that this is one quality mat. The construction of the mat is excellent and standing on it feels very true to an nice fairway. Can’t wait to finish the room and start hitting some balls.

I tried to order yesterday from https://shop.purchasegreen.com/putti...-platinum.html, however they quoted me $360 just for shipping to south FL. I ordered from Wittek and it was around $80 for shipping. If you call them up, they might be able to give you a slight break on price as well. Highly recommend buying the Quattro mat from Wittek. Don't waste your time contacting the Chinese distributor unless you want just a hitting strip because they won't ship anything larger than that.

Hey,

How is the Quattro Mat on carpet? Does it slip? I have berber carpet and the divot action mat slips.

thanks,

mark

[tcb121]

Quattro works great on carpet. I got some scrap pieces of putting turf from a golf store near me and added 3/4 inch EVA foam mat and it is perfectly level with the mat. Here are some pics.



Just waiting on the Mevo+ to arrive. Ordered April 17th and was told it will ship out to me during the week of August 10th.

[steve51523]

Looking to put a hole and permanent tee in the 3D hitting strip. Any recommendations? I’d love if it was able to be adjustable to drop to the turf height and then just pulled up or something when in use.

Thanks guys for bringing the Quattro mat to my attention. I just needed a strip so I ordered this: https://www.dwquailgolf.com/high-tec...ctice-mat-1x2/ which I think is the same construction. I've probably hit about 600-800 iron shots off it now, and I really like it. In my opinion, the turf is what makes this mat so good. The club seems to glide across it and not get hung up, which is a lifesaver for your elbow on the occasional fat strike. I actually have mine mounted on a thin (1/4") board that gives it a bit of extra flex.

No comparison to CCE, which is so grabby that I'm inclined to throw in the trash (that way I won't ever be tempted to try it again). From a health perspective, it seems on par with the Fiberbuilt to me, although completely different principle of operation. The Fiberbuilt is very lush, so the club can scoop down into the fibers with little shock, but there may be a little more grab? The Quattro gives you more of a shock, but less grab, which is very effective for me.

I hit 100 8 irons, 100 7 irons, and 50 6 irons yesterday with about an hour break between each. Today I'm ready to go hit some more. I don't think I could do that with any other mat that I've tried so far? Just my 2 cents, but I feel like this mat is a winner for me.

IowaCat89 any update on your experience with this mat? If it’s the same mat, seems like a bargain for the strip. Anyone else use this mat?

[IowaCat89]

The DWQuail mat is still my mat of choice. I think a person's health is pretty safe with it. I've hit thousands of shots off it and it holds up well. I think that a person can "over do it" on any synthetic surface and end up with a sore elbow, but with common sense this mat keeps the risk down to something reasonable. If I hit one fat shot off a "grabby" mat I can tell that I've done some damage. Not the case with this one. The occasional fat shot does not cause me an issue.

As mentioned elsewhere, order from DWQuail at your own risk. I got my mat but never received the missing parts they said would ship at a later date. This vendor seems questionable and customer service is non-existent.

I would stay away from DW Quail. Here is my experience last month... long story short: PayPal fulfilled the refund and never was, to my knowledge, able to contact DWQ. Really disappointing and frustrating.

I’m planning on buying the full mat from Witek and cutting it into “Fiberbuilt-sized” strips for my FB tray setup once I move back inside this fall. (And hoping they put it on sale sooner or later)

Wittek Golf do you ship to Canada?

[Wittek Golf]

JayJo13 We do ship to Canada but you will be responsible for custom duties and out of the US orders need to be placed by phone. We also have distributor in Canada: Turf Net Sport Supply, that could be easier to get the mat from them, here is their website https://www.turfnetsportssupplies.com/

[JayJo13]

Wittek Golf Thank You!!

[soupy]

I cut mine. Only made one strip. It is not that easy to cut. But very doable
