Question about evening hitting mat and putting turf height.

[zim]

Some of y’all have done an awesome job building a “slot” for a fiberbuilt (or similar) mat into the putting surface.

I guess my question is two fold:

1) Are the Fiberbuilt mats far and away the best? They do come in strips that can be replaced over time, correct?

2) Those of you who have made them even, what route did you take to accomplish this? Been pondering this question for a while.

Thanks guys.

1- It's a personal opinion, so mine would be yes. Easiest on the body by far.
2-See post 13 here.

I have a old 7 x 4 ulti mat that was used for my old optishot. When I upgraded to the GC2 I widened the opti shot cut out to 1 x 3 for the fiber built strip. To make the strip even with the Mat I just used some wood strips to build it up. I think the fiberbuilt is an excellent choice.

thanks guys. looking to build a space with a fairly large putting green, and a hitting strip/area built in. one of my main concerns is putting from the hitting strip when using the skytrak.

I have no problems when putting. The ball rolls very well off the strip and I feel is accurate when playing.
