Practice Mats MGS?

[Brian Parkinson]

Has MGS ever done a most wanted on hitting surfaces?  Seems like they've done most wanted on some pretty peripheral stuff, but to me that's one of the most critical parts of practice.

Does anyone have enough experience with them to say one they might recommend?

I don't believe they have done a hitting mat test in the past.   It might be on the table for this year;  when I was at headquarters a few weeks ago they had a net setup and a bunch of mats scattered around.  unfortunately I can't verify that is what they were testing or when the results would be released.

I would be quite interested in something like this. Fingers crossed!

I built a nice room onto my house with an impact screen, putting surface floor, skytrak.  I went with the real feel gorilla mat.  I got the 3 x5 one without the thick rubber base, which makes it more portable to grab my net and head to the office and hit balls at lunch, but it can scoot a tiny bit while swinging, and I wish i had got the 5x5 so that i didn't have to adjust the placement of the skytrak when i move from hitting a driver or iron. There was, and is, so little information on impact screens, hitting mats, nets, and putting surfaces.  

It has been fun to see MGS start to cover some of that stuff this year.
