Will this work, cutting CCE mat to make straight edges?

[Pickled]

I really want a proper flush mat with my putting surface. I'm assuming like most mats the CCE has a rounded edge all the way around (like photo attached)

My thought is to buy an oversized double mat (10x5 instead of 8x4) and trim a 2-3" all the way around the sides. This would leave the mat grass straight and I would not have any beveled edges.

Does this make any sense at all? Think this would work?

Thanks

Is your putting surface the same height as the CCE mat?

It's not built yet but the plan is to do exactly that.

Country Club Elite is 1¾” (¾” foam, 1” grass)

Pro putt 0.71" so if I did 1" high density foam subfloor I will have a 1mm deference between the two heights. It's the rounded edges of the elite that will cause the bump not the height transition.

If you butt something up to it, don't the fibers stand up then? It did for me when i had a strip of CCE, but it was inside a rigid shape so maybe that helped.

They do if you butt the underlying foam together. If you do this you need rigid attachment of the mat to keep it from trying to push apart from the adjacent mat.

The reason you get rounded edges in the first place is way the manufactured sheets are cut with a large shear entering from the fiber side. It provides a finished, rounded edge by bending the fibers on the edge down when being cut.

So you think it will stand up straight if there is something right up against it? My thought was to cut from the sponge side towards the grass. I'm going to get a sample and play around with it.
