I just wish Rain or Shine had a mat like the indoor golf shop

Yeah I’ll be honest, I’m not totally familiar with how their mats compare to the SIG ones. I still use the SIG Softy Strip cut into my old mat.

They claim these are realistic and easy on the body. Has anyone used these?

They don't have an in house mat that has a precut strip section like the SIGPRO softy. That's the biggest win in my book.

I'm sure their Swing Turf mat is solid, but if I'm going full mat, I'd go with the EZ Tee Hybrid (biased since I have that now)
 
Man that is surprising about shipping charges from IGS. I don’t recall shipping when I bought mine.

I am curious if this is something new? Can you look back in your emails and find the invoice?

Let me see if I can find it.
 
Indoor golf shop did not charge shipping on my 4x7 last Black Friday

That's a bummer. I just checked the SIGPRO softy lite and that has a $50 additional shipping charge

That's odd. This is right now.

I saw the shipping for a full mat is $199 due to size and weight.

There was no shipping on the Softy strip I ordered either. It really is a shame, I had myself talked into the 4x7 mat and waited for black Friday to order it. I thought it was a glitch but customer service told me to pound sand, buy it or don't.

I am going to buy a cheaper mat to install my softy strip into. I usually go the budget route anyway. For once I was going to splurge and buy something nice and easy but there is no freaking way I am paying $199 to ship a roll of foam.

Seeing proof that there was no shipping on these mats last year just makes me angrier. Not much I can do but buy something else and voice my displeasure with indoor golf outlet.

That is nuts and wrong.
Contact Rain or Shine. Tell them you are a THPer. They will find a solution for a great mat

Here is a nice email they sent me. They sure promote FAST & FREE SHIPPING but that is not the case. The 6% discount code doesn't work even if you order over $1000
 
We got hammered yesterday. Opted to clear the driveway twice instead of letting it build up. While outdoor golf is done until April, at least I have this...

The SwingTurf mat looks good. They claim it is realistic and easy on the body. I need something that punishes fat contact and does not hurt my elbows and hands at impact. I remember you saying you had a new mat in the studio recently, was this it?
Any recommendations?

Yes sir that is it.
I like it. Reminds me of Fiberbuilt in that you don’t seem to get away with as much
 
Small one yesterday. 50 or so warm up balls, 18 at Primland and then another 100 or so to work **** out.
 
For you guys who use BirTees indoors. What size do you find yourself using the most?

Nice! Cant wait for your feedback

I am excited to try something new. I have been mostly happy with the Softy insert but have never cared for the sound at impact.

This post from a while back sums it up.

I am going to upgrade my hitting mat during black Friday. I have been using the Sig Pro Softy strip and it has been good for a year but it's starting to get worn out. The only drawback of the Softy is the sound at impact. It's loud, not like hurt your ears loud but it ruins the feel of the shot. It's like hitting a bass drum at impact. I am not really that upset about it but since I am upgrading I should at least consider something else.

I am looking at the Sig Pro Softy 4X7 mat that is on sale for $799 during black Friday. What else is out there? I have tried the Country Club Elite and Fiberbuilt in the past and prefer the Sig Pro over those.

Anyone here have a TrueStrike mat? Is it something I should look at?

Anything else on the market?

I asked for some recommendations and THP delivered as usual. Looking forward to testing out the SwingTurf and of course I will provide feedback.

I totally get the sound aspect since I have the same type of setup. I’ve been thinking of changing out the mat, but I might actually swap out the net and add impact screen first.
 
Ok I’m officially about to become a member of this thread. My garage allows space for this and wife has approved.

Thanks. I’m looking around now. Think I’m going to go with a full skytrak setup. I see there are 3 options to choose from so I’m curious to know how to figure out which one works best for my garage?
