I'm buying one soon and was wondering if anyone could share your experience with the size you bought and if you wish you bought a bigger one? I read the info on the website about needing a 3x5, 4x5, or 5x5 for swinging drivers, my initial thought was to get the 4x5 but now I'm considering getting the 5x5 just to be safe and have plenty of room.

Are you talking about Real Feel mats? I’ve got two and they don’t wear very fast, so go with the smallest that fits your budget. I made a separate stand because standing on the mat is a bit squishy. Mine are 20 x 30” but I don’t think they have that size anymore. Also, I moved the hole for the rubber tee. I just drilled a hole to fit.

Yep the CCE Real Feel are the ones I'm talking about. Sounds like you got the "strips" and they still carry those in various sizes.

I also made a platform and bought the 10x30 inch strip to place in it. The first strip lasted a year and a half with thousands of very steep swings into it. I wore a channel in the center of it about 1/2" deep. My current strip is a little over a year old and still going strong.

I have a 4 x 5 mat of another brand and it seems sufficient for hitting drives with no issues.

For mat longevity through, a 5 x 5 mat that can either receive tees or has 4 tee stations can be rotated to move the wear around, and could last you double the amount of the 4 x 5 mat that can only be rotated in one direction.

Take measuring tape and draw out a box with some chalk on some concrete. Then, swing driver and see what space is enough for you. 
 

For what it’s worth, I’m 6’1 and own the 4x5 country club elite. I’ve had since 2016. No issues.

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
