Golf Hitting Mat 5’x4’ Pro

I don't write reviews for free anymore but I thought with this one I could alleviate some confusion. You may be shopping for a golf hitting mat and noticing wall to wall awkward pictures, poorly photoshopped images that resemble people hitting golf balls that leave you wondering how much space an actual person swinging an actual club takes up, and they're punctuated with useless reviews like "I just got one for my husband and he thinks it will work great." Well, lady, luckily you're right. The GoSports elite 5' octagonal golf hitting mat is pro quality. High class, nice feeling turf that's deep enough to bury your thumb up to the first knuckle sits on a heavy 15mm mat, and it's plenty large enough to hit all the clubs from. (In fact, I chose this one because it had an actual picture of an actual golfer holding an actual driver standing on the mat, because it was a real concern that my heels would be hanging off or something.) There's 8 holes to place the tees, one at each corner, and they're placed well to swing a driver. With shorter clubs you can hit balls comfortably almost from the center. I saw that I could have easily spent twice what I did on a hit mat and I wonder how those could possibly be better, the turf on the GoSports is genuinely lux and forgiving. I can tell when I hit a thick shot but it doesn't bury my club and suddenly stop my swing like on the affordable courses I usually play. I've hit a couple hundred balls so far with zero issues and zero signs of wear, am looking forward to using this for a few years at least if I take care of it and keep it out of the weather. A+ PS it comes folded, there's a big red sign that says "crease will disappear!" Obviously people freak out about the crease so they put a big red sign to soothe your fears, and, yes, it does disappear completely in a few days. Update: Almost 2 years living outside under a tarp when I'm not using it- holding up extremely well. I'm just now starting to see some wear where my divot would be- but I've never rotated it once. A+ purchase

Fantastic product and great price. I’ve had it for 4 years now, and it shows very little signs of wear. I’ve used it a lot and left it in the sun. It is great quality.

I got this for my sim I built about 5 months ago. I wanted to wait to review until it went through heavy use to see if it holds up, it does. I would typically hit 4-5 days per week averaging 100-150 shots a day. I used it for 5 months and it's still in excellent shape. Rough estimate would be over 10,000 shots minimum. This is a high-quality mat that protects your wrists. I highly recommend getting the PRO version, as the bottom impact foam is much thicker than the standard. This is worth every bit of extra money as you don't want to injure your wrists. Hitting a bad chuck or taking a deep divot was very smooth and the mat handles it very well. Durability was great, there was a very subtle mat sink from your feet, but I would just rotate the mat and it would even itself out over time. This is completely normal for these mats, and maybe only a super expensive one does not have this slight issue. The artificial turf is very durable and holds in place well after tons of iron shots directly off the mat. It does come shipped folded in the center, but the crease will go away after a bit of use. Not an issue for me personally.

I’ve got several thousands shots on this mat now and it’s holding up great. I usually hit off the same 5”x5” spot and the mat shows no sign of wear of at all. It gets a little matted down from your feet where you stand but I just spin the mat and hit off those foot spots and it fluffs it back up. It slides a little bit on concrete floors but that’s not a fault of the mat. Sometimes if you duff a shot the fibers melt onto the bottom of your club but it just rubs off easily. I’ll probably buy it again when this one wears out, hopefully the price comes down a little bit because it seems expensive for what it is. 5 MONTH UPDATE: I have put several thousand more shots on this mat and it’s still holding up great. One of the issues I mentioned before was that the fibers seemed to melt to the bottom of the clubs, this rarely happens anymore unless I duff it real hard. It still slides on my concrete but when I hit outside it doesn’t move at all on my grass or on my wooden hitting box. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to buy it again

Love this mat. Is pretty big I am able to hit a driver while standing on it comfortably. I would suggest getting the larger one. It’s heavy duty and has been fun to use.

I've had this mat for about 6 months now. I've hit thousands of shots off of it in the garage during the winter and now the backyard. Couple wear spots from my most common hitting patterns but its still holding up fantastically. As a new golfer I'm still "Chunking" decently often and the thickness of the mat is very forgiving, not injuring me. I think I'll be able to get a couple years out of this mat even with my heavy use.

Great product, very durable. Already hit thousands of balls off it with no signs of wear.

Seems to be of really good quality. Very nice for putting on concrete patio. Well set up for irons and tees for drivers. Had questions and seller responded quickly. Highly recommend.

Prior to ordering this mat, I had a small mat but it moved around every time the my iron clubs would make contact. This mat is a perfect size and came with different length rubber tees to try different shots etc. You can also place these tees on either side of the mat and there are 6 different spots for these. The thickness is nice and feels more like a real driving range mat. I can practice in the garage with this on the concrete floor without issues; the strike is well absorbed and the turf seems really durable so far. I've read comments that there is a crease from the mat being folded in the box & it does stand out at first but doesn't take long for this to flatten out and doesn't affect a thing. I would but this again and recommend it to anyone looking for one that is still decently priced. Sure you can buy cheaper ones, but you get what you pay for.

Très bon rapport qualité prix, à voir la longévité car placé en extérieur mais semble solide,

Used this product for the first time today for about 45 minutes after getting my garden practice net set up and this happens. It’s been kept dry in the garage until today. My angle of attack on shots is circa -3.4 to -5.0 and don’t usually take much of a divot so this is very disappointing.

I've hit well over 10,000 shots off this mat and have been extremely impressed with how well it's held up. There is no significant wear or damage, especially considering the amount of use it has seen. After every 1,000–2,000 shots, I rotate the mat to spread out the wear, and I've done this about four times so far. The hitting area does compress a bit with heavy use, but it seems to rebound over time once the mat is rotated. The 5 ft x 5 ft size is ideal for this purpose, giving plenty of room to shift the hitting area and extend the life of the mat. Based on my experience, I expect it to last for many more years before needing replacement. Another thing I appreciate is that it doesn't leave any green residue on my clubs, which I've experienced with some cheaper mats. The turf is also firm enough to provide realistic feedback—fat shots feel and perform poorly, just as they would on real grass, which is exactly what you want when practicing. Overall, an excellent hitting mat that has proven to be durable and a great value for serious practice.

Very nice mat. Very good shot feeling.
