I don't think I was able to post about my error here. I did make a sales post in the sales section instead regarding the 35x12 strip. My bad.Originally posted by bradmillar View PostHey 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!

my comparison. 58* wedges. 9pm swing for me.
noticed wittek knock off from China was about 400 rpm lower. Not a big differences considering I’m not a pro and results will vary. I tried to eliminate outlier shots too. Once notice I had was the YGT-3D was more consistent strikes and smash factor. Max shot from both very similar but my contact was not as crisp on fiberbuilt consistent which I think lead to less distance. Take it for what one guys results mean but I like both. The ygt-3D knock off felt awesome but I think is more forgiving that the fiberbuilt.

I am considering a bulk order of 10 5 x 5 mats from https://ytyuhe.en.alibaba.com/produc...72e165c0yADQfl
Is anyone interested in purchasing one? Looking to cover costs only.

I felt like I would share my experience between multiple mats I have owned. I have a divot action and hate it bc it just gives to much to be realistic, causes spin numbers that are way off. I have a rawhide and it hurts like hell within a week or two. The gel insert diy truestrike grabbed like none other on fat shot, definitely stay away if you're a digger. Hurt myself where I was off of golf for six months ranging from shoulder and wrist to finally an intercostal tear. Quatro is great but at the end of the day if hitting every day it will still cause some soreness, not sure if from improper swing mechanics or just left over injuries from previous mats. The crazy thing is when I go back to tried and true Fiberbuilt it always always prevents and stops the pain the other mats have caused. It has disadvantages but those I can deal with bc pain is just not an option. I'm a 3 hc irl so I can pick it clean with the best of them, but even I get pain with all the other mats. Trust me when I say I too didn't want to spend a 1000 on a mat, but it really is worth every penny imho.

We are getting more and more questions on the webchat at our site regarding differences between mats we sell. So we put together some info.
All mats are commercial grade mats used at ranges across the country.
We have these in stock at our IL facility, so the best option if you live around is to see and feel mats here yourself (and save on freight if purchasing). For Canadian buyers, our distributor in Canada: Turf Net Sports Supplies (Ontario)
Quattro Mat (part number 78180)
The “Fan Favorite” Quattro Mat is the most realistic simulation to a fairway on the market. Using a scientific revolution in mat technology, the Quattro Mat features an impact dampening system. The knitted nylon turf is bonded to an interface layer which protects the mat from tearing. The dampening system consists of highly elastic polyurethane fibers acting to absorb the impact of the club. This is then connected to an elastic vinyl mat for additional comfort. The end result is what gives the Quattro Mat an incredibly soft feel while providing extra protection to the golfer's wrists, torso, and lower body. There are eight tee holes on the mat to extend the mat’s life. Bottom side of holes are countersunk to accept base of rubber tee.
Size: 59"x 59"
Weight: 40 lbs.
Thickness: 1¼"
Mega Mat (part number 78197)
The closest you can get to real turf. This mat gives you the feel of real grass without the bounce of other mats. With its revolutionary design the Mega Mat is easy on golfers’ feet and knees. If a golfer hits a heavy shot on this mat, they will feel the club turn over in their hand to simulate what happens on real grass. While there are 2 tee holes per side, the most intriguing benefit is that wood tees can be used on this mat to further simulate real grass. Just stick your tee right into the turf and you are ready to go!
Size: 59"x 59"
Weight: 42 lbs.
Thickness: 1½" with pad
Made in the USA
Dura Turf Mat (part number 78183)
The standard for quality, durability and customer acceptance. Proven in use, day after day, shot after shot, our economy mat is priced right for any budget. The Wittek Dura-Turf Mat uses the world's finest synthetic grass for a reliable mat that features a shock absorbing pad and reinforced tee hole. The nylon turf will not leave green residue on any club no matter how many swings are taken. The bottom side of tee holes are countersunk to accept base of rubber tee.
Size: 59" x 59"
Weight: 35 lbs.
Thickness: 1 1/4"

Mega mat has taller fibers on top so when you hit a fat shot, it will grab the club and simulate a fat shot. The quattro mat has a tighter lie, more like fairway. The Mega mat can have a wooden tee inserted directly into the fibers and also has tee holes for rubber tees. The quattro mat only uses rubber tees for teeing up the ball.
There are no long-term issues using wood tees. The Mega Mat is commercial grade, made to withstand excessive tee use.
Mats are shipped rolled in the box. We always can do flat, but then it must go on a pallet (pricey if ordering single mat)

Wittek thanks for the clarification. That additional info is helpful. Seems to me that the Mega Mat may be the better of the two then.

I switched to a Quattro. I'm a fan. I struggle from back pain due years of abuse. I was getting pain after hitting sessions on my previous mat. I've had the Quattro for a couple months now and played many rounds. No more back pain. I have a "digger" swing, and I like how the Quattro doesn't hurt my back but fat shots are short as they should be. I like a big hitting area as I use a GC2 on a slider and give me room to operate. As noted, only downfall is it doesn't take a real tee. No signs of wear yet.
I'm tempted to try mega mat based on comments above.

I requested a demo piece of the other turf they carry that can hold a tee, which I then cut into a smaller piece and embedded it into my Quattro strip. I prefer this to the birtees and other solutions. I ended up doing somewhat of a sloppy job, but it works.Originally posted by GullLakeMi View PostAs noted, only downfall is it doesn't take a real tee. No signs of wear yet.
However, for full transparency, I’m currently trying out a soft strike mat and using the tee’s that come with it.

RJBoogie - I'm also curious, is that 'Mega Mat' that you cut that small tee area out of, and put into your Quattro strip? Also curious which launch monitor you use? You can fill that out in your information up here for your User Profile if you like.
I think I would agree, I would like that better than using 'birtees', and also curious on your 'Soft Strike' review. If you cut that small piece out, maybe you have other bits of that mat you would sell off?
Thanks,
-Brett

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

I bought the Quattro directly from China (yuhegolfmats). The sample I requested is described on their site as “tee line turf golf mat with 35mm tee line turf and 10mm foam rubber”Originally posted by Brettster View PostRJBoogie - I'm also curious, is that 'Mega Mat' that you cut that small tee area out of, and put into your Quattro strip?

I believe I cut the sample they sent in half to embed into the Quattro mat. I could have gone with 1/4 of the size to just place a small square to hold tees. I’ve been redoing the flooring in my garage sim and it’s a mess right now, but I’ll send you the piece for free if I can find it.
As far as LM, I’m using an EyeXO.

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...

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.
