Recommend a cheap mat


Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if anyone has had good luck with a cheap hitting mat.  By cheap, I mean under $200, but the cheaper the better.

14 of the following:

Ping G430 Max 10.5 degree

Callaway 2023 Big Bertha 3 wood set to 17 degrees

Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees

Callaway Epic Max 11 wood

Ping Eye 2 BeCu 2-SW

Mizuno 923 JPX HM HL 6-GW

Hogan sand wedge 56 degree bent to 53

Maltby M Series+ 54 degree

Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree

Ping Glide 3.0 60 degree

Evnroll ER2

Ping Sigma 2 Anser

How big are you looking?

You can buy a pretty cheap, but decent mat however most are thing meaning it would be good to have some foam underneath for added padding. It can be a cheaper alternative to getting thicker mats.

Also, you didn't specify of this is for a sim, backyard net, or outdoor practice.  I have a really decent 3 piece outdoor mat about 2'x3' with 3 different types of surfaces on it.  I paid $15 for at academy sports. Works great for backyard practice

There’s no better humor than someone who can self deprecate in a funny witty way.  I applaud you, keep up the good work.

This is what I purchased a year ago! Also how i found out about MGS! Did a review then was directed to MGS web site after. Thing to remember about hitting mats. How it causes physical harm to your body, as most cheap mats don't have give like real grass, so can cause pain arms ect and or cause more issues.  Also damage to your clubs!!!  Be safe

A public service announcement! I used Amazon for research,  then went directly to the company who sold it! I got the same price , shipping ect.  But I also got great customer support.  I'm on my 3rd hitting net ( all free) as they were damaged by either shipping and or hitting.  Also got credit for doing reviews for them and was able to get other items from the for really cheap ( ball holder for around $40 ) . A little more research helps you body as well as you bank account!
