Tee Line Turf

[ACgolfer]

Has anyone used Tee Line Turf instead of a strike mat? I can't seem to find any posts regarding this. I like the look of it - no cut out insert, and you can insert tees into the turf. I think it is primarily used at driving ranges. Just wondering if anyone has any experience and info on this product. It seems like it has great wear but I wonder about impact to the wrists and elbows?

I have a contact in Calgary I'm going to visit to see samples. I was considering a setup using this material plus a piece of the EZTee Hybrid to hit from (recommended/used by TXG)

[ACgolfer]

Did TXG recommend adding the EZTee Hybrid to the Tee Line? i.e. not just hit off the Tee Line?

Putting actual tees in the mat is not ideal for an indoor sim. U end up with broken or flying tees all over. Most here use plastic tees such as Tomahawk/Birtee with a retaining tee such as Tee claw. Google both or search here for more details

[ACgolfer]

Thanks. I’ll look into those.

Most people do seem to use the birtee or whatevers. I had been doing the same but recently switched to using real tees since my mat can take them. I use plastic tees and they don't break. As far as having them fly all over, they generally tend to gather in the same area as the balls do near the foot of the screen. So every 4-5 holes when I go up to the screen to gather some balls I just pick up the tees as well.

I've always wondered what they hit from. Such a clean setup.

Parent company is STI (Synthetic Turf International). Ian has mentioned it a few times during their live videos. "EZTee Hybrid Plus"

[Adrenaline]

All I found was the testimonial video, didn't hear any mention of the "hybrid version" for comparison to the poly.

[Cruisin1966]

Ian mentioned the exact variation in a much earlier video. I'll have to see if I can find it. At the time I heard it, I sent myself a text message with the details

[Jnc10]

I use the ez tee poly. Looks like only difference is the hybrid is a nylon poly blend

I really like this as a hitting mat. Reacts very much like a real fairway without the grab of cce

[Cruisin1966]

Was just on the TXG live. Ian confirmed it's the EZTee Hybrid they're using. I'll be looking to grab a piece and install it in my setup through the rep from STI in Calgary

I purchased a 5'x5' of Tee Line turf from Dean in Calgary. I like it - takes a real tee (I typically use Birtees although the option is nice). I don't have a super steep swing but I haven't experienced any wrist or elbow pain, which is strange because my elbow was a mess in the summer when I was playing real golf. It is very think but no padding at the bottom, which is okay because the turf is so thick.

I'm in Calgary as well, would you mind sending me Dean's contact info?

[JayJo13]

I sent you a PM

I have a 6 x 10 ft piece of the EZ Tee Hybrid as the hitting area for my simulator and I think it’s great. It’s what Trackman uses for its custom simulator installs, along with STI’s putting and “fringe” turfs which are also great. Super clean look. Fat shots are fat (slow the club, diminish ball speed and reduce distance) without being jarring on the elbows. Used daily for about 10 months now. We use Birtees because wood or plastic tees placed into the turf will release after impact just like on a course, but within the confines of the sim they can on occasion fly around the room like projectiles.

[Adrenaline]

That room is awesome. What are the dimensions?

[coolbreeze]

The sim is in my back garage, which measures 29 x 18 ft with 10 ft ceiling. More pics here: https://golfsimulatorforum.com/forum...kman-sim-build

The EZTee hybrid turf and putting turf have significant differences in thickness, so putting black rubber gym tiles under the putting turf section "raises" it almost perfectly to the level of the EZTee hybrid turf.

I haven't hit off of Fiberbuilt or Divot-action, but I think the EZTee hybrid looks great as a single, homogenous large hitting section and it "feels" proper at impact and is durable.

coolbreeze whats is ther turf model you used around the hitting mat?

[ACgolfer]

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll do a bit more research before I decide but this helps. I am planning on building a backyard studio that will have a sim. Great setup coolbreeze!

I have an artificial grass down with the tee-line hitting mat sitting on top of it. I didn't cut it out and insert the tee-line - just have it sitting on top. Works out pretty good, as I can slide the hitting mat off the turf to practice putting if I want.
