I recently moved into a new house with an unfinished basement.

I am hoping to set-up a large hitting mat and net in there. Can anyone advise a mat that can sort of 'replicate' the fairway? I heard a while back that there was a mat that 'gave' like you're hitting on the fairway. Also, is it good idea to use the same mat for chipping?

Any advice will be helpful. Thanks.

Depending on cash flow,

Thanks Alan; the price is pretty steep. I did find something else at TGW. Any opinion on this?

When I worked in the golf shop we had a net in there, It was a purpose built net but I don't see why you couldn't make one out of scafolding poles and some strong builders netting. Look at http://www.sportnetting.com/mats.htm?source=overture for a cheap mat and your away.

I saw a really good range tee which has adjustable tees to save you lifting up all the time. They're called "practees" and I found them on ebay.co.uk.

Not sure about the USA, sorry.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
