Anyone tried The Golf Mat from Vijay Singh?

[Zeph]

I've decided to buy a better mat to use for practice. They are costly, about 200+ usually, but the range mats here are so terrible, I can't stand it anymore. I'm sure I'll be injured at some point.

After searching and reading various reviews, The Golf Mat is the one people like the best. TrueStrike was an option, but I read a thread on GolfWRX about durability that made me doubt it.

So, anyone here used or use The Golf Mat or TreStrike MK7?

Havent tried the ones mentioned but I have a cheap one and it works great for me.

The Golf Mat, IMHO, is the way to go. My range has three of them and I don't hit off anything else. If they are in use, I'll just wait. They are much better than hitting off any other mat. (Of course, nothing beats real grass)

Of course, nothing compares to grass, but when that is not an option, one has to look for the best alternatives.

After further reasearch, The Golf Mat still seems like the preferable one.

Anyone bought on of these?

The V. J. Sing Golf Mat is a good product but the company that makes and markets it, National Golf Products, will not honor their warranty. Golfdom where I purchased it tried to contact them, I have called, emailed and written to them. Their web site is still selling and advertising a 5 year warranty but they will only respond to sell the product. Within a two year period, with the mat being stored inside and not exposed to the elements, the plastic spring mechanism has distorted and one side of the mat is higher than the other making it impossible to keep the ball on the tee. I am stuck with a $230 piece of junk.

Are you guys purchasing the mat to practice at home?  I have never thought about buying a mat because I just don't have the room at home to hit the balll more than 5-10 yards and wasn't sure if it was worth it.

I got a mat to use at home and on the range (don't have any grass ranges). I tried ordering The Golf Mat, but they ripped me off. No mat, no money back. My credit card company paid me back though. I ended up getting a Real Feel Country Club Elite mat (or hitting strip), and it's hands down the best mat I've ever had the fortune of hitting off. Search it up. I found nothing but positive reviews.

How does the hitting strip work for you? I thought of ordering one but I am worried that it will be moving constantly as I hit the ball.

I'll find out what they used on our indoor virtual range. Its like the fluffy half of velcro, but obviously firmer. You can hit down and through the ball on that mat and there is no jarring what so ever, but it provides just the right amount of resistance to replicate turf. Its the best artificial surface I have ever hit off.
