Golf Mat
Any suggestions for a good indoor golf mat.
I need one with low impact shock.
Thanks

on the low tech side, i have found that putting a folded up bath towel under the mat (mine is only about 2'X1') both cushions and allows for sort of a "divot" as the club "bites" and slides the mat off the towel...saves wear on the wrists AND gets one in the habit of replacing one's divots

I asked this same question last fall. A couple of replies pointed me to a Fiberbuilt mat. I got mine at http://www.rangemart.com/fiberbuilt.htm . I love it; you can really hit down on it without the pain.

It’s funny I got a Calloway catalog right before Christmas that had Phil Mickelson on the cover. Inside it showed him at the Callaway testing center. It looks like they use Fiberbuilt mats.

Jimbo…

MODEL NUMBER
Jimbo -

Which model number did you go with? I've got part of one of these units that I picked up at Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro last year.

I got the FB-001 which is the full setup. Here is the description: “Fiberbuilt Golf Mat System with Knitted Nylon stance mat, 4 panel grass area and rubber frame.

There is a new mat with GEL in it. It gives the feel of taking a divot. I'm not sure who makes it.

Thanks Ian Clark! Do you think they are less likely to cause wrist or elbow injuries?

From the info I have received, the British Medical Association have approved these mats for use because they cause less stress to the wrists and elbows, we have had many good comments from customers for this particular reason.

Thanks... that's good to know! I think many people subconsciously develop a sweeping, throwaway type of release when hitting from mats in order to avoid injury, or further aggravate an old injury.

This new mat may be the thing for forward shaft leaners, and divot takers!
