Hitting Mat Suggestions

[Sixers21]

Currently building my simulator in my garage. My ceiling height is 9'6", so I am looking to put in a hitting mat with the least amount of height as needed with the concrete ground that will not cause wrist/elbow issues. Is my best bet to order a higher end single mat? DIY Turf with a cut out for a hitting strip? Do I need foam tiles underneath my mat even with the higher end mats?

This community has been very helpful with my build. Thank you!

I use the EZ Tee hybrid mat from Simturf.com. 1 1/8" thick, directly on concrete. No issues with wrist or elbows. Can rotate mat so no concern about wear. No visible wear so far. They have a thicker mat, called the MegaMat (2"). In fact, I ordered this one, but they shipped me the EZtee, and I didn't catch it for months.
