    Help picking mat

    Hi, first post woot!

    I have gleaned cce to hard, fiberbuilt to soft, so trustrike. But I dont want to replace the skin or whatever. So back to fiberbuilt? I hate the idea of buying a huge piece when you wear out a small spot. The fiberbuilt station looks like it would work? Thanks so much. Screen next!

    If your just setting up I would HIGHLY recommend you look at some of the DIY options. Much cheaper and easy to replace later when your wearing them out. Check out DIY divot action or other DIY hitting mats already posted here.

      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

        I have a ceiling mounted camera and lighting simulator system (GSA) dependent on contrast between floor surface and clubface for clubface recognition. I presently have a Fiberbuilt Hitting mat but I believe it is reflecting too much light. Are there better alternatives for non reflective mats? I experimented with nonreflective carpeting and the results are significantly better but obviously not great for hitting off of.

          Thank you so much. Ok diy divot action, and quattro. That quattro was hard to wade through, I nee the tldr version .

          What about fairway pro, looks cool....

          With diy I can build a bigger area, assumption, to make putting fun. What about the hitting stations, seems reasonable enough

            I have hit on enough mats to know for sure they get worn out in one spot, hmm, and here is another question, how do we work that carpet that shows hit spot in? Thanks again and I will be around for quite a while as build is getting going! This reminds me of homebrewing rig building, I love it!

            Now trying to talk wife into living room, hey it's a theater with green floor!

              Agree CCE is pretty hard. Really forces a "picker" swing. It hasn't all been great, but interestingly I am finding myself hitting iron tee shots right off the mat which I wouldn't do outside. Helps me stay consistent across irons.

              My first winter with sim. Snow on ground. After hundreds of swings off CCE, gonna be interesting to transition back to grass.
