Jay,
I purchased one of your mats a little over a year ago, after doing a lot of research. I came to the conclusion that your mat would be the best for the indoor practice range I planned on building in my garage.
I purchased the 4×5 CC elite mat, which I will admit, was not cheap. But after using it, I firmly believe it was worth the money. The quality and durability of the mat is great.
I’ve hit thousands of balls on your mat and no one would be able to notice. I love the feel of the mat. You can really tell when you have flushed the ball, but it surely lets you know when you have hit one a little chunky.
The only complaint I have, which I really can’t blame on your mat, is that actual yardage I see on the course doesn’t quite equate to what I get on my launch monitor. I have recently purchased a Skytrak unit, and the numbers just seem a little off to me. Like I said, I don’t blame it on the mat, but I have read that many others are having the same issue. I have also noticed it using a FlightScope monitor. I honestly think the mat slows the club head speed down just enough for those of us that take a decent divot, that the launch monitor calculates our distances about 5 to 10 yards short for each club. I have found that if I hit the ball off of a tee each time, I can replicate the yardages I see on the course. Just an observation, the mat performs great each time I get out there and practice.
