Need help or ideas for custom stance mat with hitting strip

[Jester]

I am trying to figure out what kind of set up. I should make for my mevo +. I have an 11.5 feet wide room and I need to be able to hit with lefties and righties…. I know this isn’t ideal and I will have my mevo set up on a slider so it can move.

I have some decent turf that I was gonna install as a stance mat and then use hitting strips (probably carls gel), but my thoughts were that the hitting zone would be 2ft apart so I would need two of them.

I could also install a 4’ x 3’ country club elite mat in the middle with stance mats on the side…. This would be a cleaner install and make sense where for irons you could maybe even hit left and right from the middle of the room? Downside is that most people on here say don’t cheap out on your hitting mat and that is why I was leaning carls gel or sigpro softy.

Thoughts or suggestions?

My sim room will be 11' feet wide and I am a lefty, so it definitely must accommodate both righties and lefties.

The house is under construction so I have time.

Right now I plan to get a 5' x 8' Country Club Elite mat. I have a small one for hitting into a net in the back yard and it doesn't seem too firm. I will surround it with gym mats covered with some kind of turf. If the CC Elite mat turns out to be too harsh then I would cut out a section to add a more forgiving hitting mat for me. The righties might have to partially stand on it when hitting.

Based on making some swings with foam golf balls in my living room, I think the hitting areas will need to be offset by almost 3' so that everyone is comfortable hitting driver. The Foresight Falcon seems to be the only launch monitor with a wide enough hitting area. What are you planning to do about the offset hitting areas with the launch monitor?

I am planning on a mevo + mounted on a 60” slider so you can move it back and forth… a this is like $2k cad for me instead of $20k

There are a bunch of people on the forums who have done this and it seems reasonable. My depth is 21ft, so that is the only thing that you need a long room to do it
