Best mat/turf/floor solution to use with Mevo plus ?.

[GolferChris]

Fairly new to this. Looking to gain from your experiences.
I am wondering what is best (relatively inexpensive) floor/mat solution to use with Mevo plus.

Mevo plus has to be on same level as the mat (at least for putting), and there should be no 'U' or drop off in in between.the mevo unit and the hitting area.

Birdieball do 18 foot putting mats so that might work.

Place a stance and a hitting mat to the side of that. (I think the Mevo plus will work with a slightly elevated hitting mat for irons and driver).
People on here seem to prefer a good quality hitting insert inserted into a normal standard stance mat - Is that correct ?.

For the other areas that I need to fill in (up beside the screen) just use the standard exercise mats/rubber gym mats.

Are there any other options ?. As it is my first build I don't want to spend a fortune on this first time around.

Appreciate any help or guidance that you can give.

Hey GolferChris,

I don't have my build complete yet but I have purchased all the interior supplies already and have the Mevo+ on order. The Quattro mat was mid range in price ($400USD) but I've hit off it a few hundred times in my garage and it seems real good. Lots of cushioning so it is easy on the elbows. I actually bought 2 as I need to go with both lefty and righty setup so i'm doing a central setup. For other flooring I went with the 2X2 foam mats as underpadding at the advice of my golf coach who runs an indoor teaching center. I bought some homedepot synthetic grass at like $1 per sq ft to cover the foam.

If you need to get a hitting screen, dbgolf72 on this forum seems to be the best value and the screen seems to be very high quality. Less then $400 USD with shipping for 16X10.

When is your delivery date for the MEVO? When did you order?

Hi Jer. Thanks.
My Mevo plus arrived a few weeks ago. I got it from Daniel at 24-7.golf. Excellent service and the lead time wasn't too bad either. (Maybe I just got lucky).
I haven't really got testing it out yet as it arrived quicker than I was initially expecting so I don't have my set up completed yet.

i built a 4' x 16' platform by sandwiching 1/2" insulation board between 2 1/4" 8' x 4' sheets of particle board. cut a 1' x 2' rectangle for strike insert (cheapo thing glued to plexiglass for some extra give). then just double-sided tape 1/2" putting green turf to cover the board. cheap turf was the hardest thing to find and the biggest expense, but ended up getting it from amazon (80 sq. feet for $150). using a range mat to stand on since platform not wide enough, but would like to widen the platform to eliminate the tiny gap between mat and platform. works great. not sure putting will ever be amazing on mevo, but very few no reads per round - often when my speed is way off compared to the distance needed.
