Best Golf Mat Under $50

[RickGelia]

I just recently started taking more of a serious interest in golf. I set up a net in the back yard and have been trying to prepare for the beginning of my golf season (I live in Mass). I was wondering if anyone knew of a good golf mat that will allow me to hit down on the golf ball and isn't going to burn a hole in my pocket. Thanks for the help.

Check out the [URL=http://www.ebay.com/sch/jaymcgolfstuff/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686]Country Club Elite Hitting Strip[/URL] on eBay, or their website [URL=http://www.realfeelgolfmats.com/]Real Feel Golf Mats[/URL]. The hitting strips are priced down to $30. It's the best mat I've tried so far. You will feel it if you hit it fat, while the club sails smoothly through on a good hit. They also seem very durable. I know Golf Evolution use (or used) these mats. http://thesandtrap.com/t/54192/practice-range-hitting-mats http://thesandtrap.com/t/53950/practicing-with-a-net-what-is-your-setup

This is the kind i use, you can practice hitting down on the ball unlike the superthin mats.

I agree with this, but nothing beats real grass for me.

the realfeelgolf mats are the real deal i own one and the strip that zeph was talking about works just as good as the full mat at a fractio of the cost. about durability i saw one of the top 10 golf coachs i cant remember his name from flordia say he has had his for 6 years outside without them being ruined.
