Anyone notice or tracked diferences in spin rates off of the various mats? I have a Wittex Quattro and spin numbers seem a bit low.

Brettster yeah if you want a full size matt you're probably better off getting from wittek. Looks like the 5x5 is $400, but they might have sales occasionally.

Just did local pick up and got the Quattro mat last Fri. Pick up was quick and they helped loaded into my minivan.
Mat looks great.
A little squishy standing on it.
My previous setups have been diy gel pad with overlying cheap allturf mat and the rawhide.
Will try out some hits and report back regarding spin and how it compares with my other mats.My courses:

I see Wittek has the Quattro and a Mega mat. Mega mat takes real tee. Anybody compare these two? I'm not hung up on real vs other tee, just looking for most real feel on a mat.
Currently have a CCE and not liking how fat shots feel (hard and bit of grab). I prefer a mat where I can move the ball around and not limited to small strike area.

After playing on the Quattro mat for three rounds these are my impressions.
Really well constructed. Mat is darker green than the rawhide mat and allturfs mat. I like that aesthetic. I see no transfer of any green plastic to my irons unlike the rawhide and allturfs.
Fairly heavy and the mat does not shift during sim play. I had that problem with my DIY gel pad mat with the allturfs mat.
Top green fibers are less dense. Prevents the club head from getting grabbed on fat shots. The tee claw however does not stay in as well. I had to replace it a few times each round.
I like the overall feel of the mat. It feels real nice on flush shots. Fat shot still give you feedback. My spin numbers on wedge shots were slightly lower. 9500 versus 10k with the unicorn balls.
Slight cons:
Standing on it feels a little squishy. Not awful but transferring your weight into the ground doesn't feel as efficient.
On a really bad swing where I would have made a divot 2 inches in front of the ball, I felt a little more discomfort versus the diy gel pad. However it's way more comfortable than the rawhide.
Overall I'm really happy with the Quattro mat. It is going to last a very long time. I'm confident it won't affect my swing to where I become a picker which the rawhide did. It is slightly more penalizing on fat shots than the DIY gel pad.

I know you mentioned wedges, but what type of spin are you getting on mid irons?

If anyone would be interested in buying a 59"x59" Quatro mat and cutting it into 5 strips, i would purchase one strip from you for $100.00 +shipping costs.Unfortunatly Wittek isn't open to selling 12"x59" strips.

If you buy and cut, I would be interested

Hey I bought two 12x35 inch strips from steven. The turf feels great but one small problem. I never measured my insert before ordering. I took the 35" number off of here. I have a 9x4 fiberbuilt set up. The two strips I bought do not fit.
Anybody interested in either of the strips? I paid $179 all in to get both here. Will ship out for $85 each.
Let me know. I'll be ordering again but in my correct measurements!

Yes. I cut mine and use the FB stance mat/tray. The factory edge is nice and tight against the stance.
I cut another using the opposite long factory edge and sold it. That left the center section with two rough edges. I’ve since also cut a Divot Action sized insert out of that scrap center, as the fore and aft edges still had a factory finish.
I don’t think you’d ever get 5 good strips unless you’ve got a table saw or something that can cut it...utility knife just doesn’t work well, as the mat is pretty thick and multi-layered.
