SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS Posted October 29, 2013 SPY VIP Share Posted October 29, 2013 SKLZ Glide Pad I'm back with another edition of the Tuesday awesome, and this time around you'll be happy to know we've left the apparel realm (assuming underwear counts as apparel). Today's Awesomeness is the SKLZ Glide Pad Divot Simulator/Golf Mat. The Glide Pad is a really cool little mini-mat that makes improving your lies, and improving your overall practice experience ever so convenient. Why It's Awesome It's lightweight and super-portable. It gives when you make contact with it which simulates actual divot feel, and more importantly, doesn't make your wrists hurt. It goes anywhere (like I said, portable), which means you can turn this: and this: and this: into this: which makes it really easy for me to try and chip balls through this (from my deck no less): If there's a knock on the Glide Pad is that it does raise the ball up a bit more than a flat lie would, but if you're afflicted with a sketchy yard (I am), or a sketchy driving range (I am), then the SKLZ Glide Pad is any easy and convenient way to avoid having to practice out of crap without risking your wrists. Retail price for the SKLZ Glide Pad is just south of $100. MyGolfSpy is only major golf site that refuses advertising from large golf companies. With your support we can keep it that way.

hckymeyer Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Does it move at all when you hit it? I've had other smaller mats that jump around if you take a full swing with it.

SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS Posted October 29, 2013 Author SPY VIP Share Posted October 29, 2013 Does it move at all when you hit it? I've had other smaller mats that jump around if you take a full swing with it. It moves a little with each swing, but because it's designed to rebound, it's fairly minimal. I don't find myself adjusting it much. MyGolfSpy is only major golf site that refuses advertising from large golf companies. With your support we can keep it that way.

BK in TEXAS Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 So in all seriousness.....how is this better than a mat like below that you can get for about $30. I made a 75x175 yd driving range in my backyard and I use mats over the grass to avoid absolutely destroying the tee area.
