Is it as good as the more expensive grass simulated mats?

Not sure how long it would last but it looks pretty damn good to me... If my practice facility wasn't grass I'd try one out.

Dave bought the best mats he could get - and they were nearly the most expensive, too - for the indoor facility we've just opened.

They're called TrueStrike: Home - TrueStrike-Golf mats and golf driving range mats. They're supposed to last a looooong time and they behave and react really well. I can't imagine this thing doing better than the TrueStrikes.

The TrueStrike mats are amazing... The local GolfSmith has a large hitting area and each station (something like 10-12 of them) has these.  I'll go there just to hit balls sometimes if it's hot and I don't want to deal with the heat.

The thing I like about the one that the OP posted is that it looks pretty portable which would be nice if the local range was mat only.  If I was setting up my own hitting area at home (which I plan to do when I buy a house) I think I'd go with the TrueStrike.

This looks very interesting, I was thinking about making something like this to take to the various ranges I use.  Price is a little steep, if it was $80-$99, I'd probably but it.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By jxdama ·

      Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.

      A hair under 190. It was pretty downhill, though, so I think we were playing between 180-185 to the pin. My 6 iron went 187 according to shot scope and ended up 18 feet away.

      That's a tough pin on 14 at TR, had to make the hole play much longer, how far was that shot? I've only played that hole with a front pin.

      No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.
