Nice comparison. It would be great if you could add a table with your scores at the end. This would give the viewers a good overview at the end.

Good information. Appreciate the chapter breakdowns. Gave it a like and will checkout your other content.

The fact that you guys kept all the crazy shots and gave real time (ouch!) feedback was awesome.

Anyone watch the whole thing? A breakdown of ratings would be great.

The GoSports does move a lot! I have one and it does hurt. I ended up buying a Carls hitting strip and cut a hole in the goSports to fit it. That defintiely fixed the issue with pain when fatting or hitting steeply on the ball. After fixing that, my biggest beef with the GoSports relates to durability. The foam underneath my feet has started to wear after only ~6 months of use. The Carls HotShot will be my next mat.

Great video, appreciate the effort it took to fat some shots 😫. I’m interested in the Carls place hotshot mat. I have two questions. 1: can you buy the divot strip along with the mats and 2: do you ship to the uk?

@carlsplace

Thanks! Yeah, the fat shots didn't feel great on some of those! To answer your questions, yes you can get a HotShot mat with a divot strip, and yes, we do ship to the UK! At the moment, HotShot mats are out of stock, but we are still taking orders with the anticipation of them shipping in a month or two!

Does Carl's Place offer the SigPro Mats? It was not in the review?

@carlsplace

Hey Ed! Sorry, we do not offer SigPro Mats.

I watched to the end and during enjoyed the "mystery reveal" of ratings. This was a pretty thorough demonstration and evaluation of these mats for sure. My concern would be durability. These mats will take a serious pounding over their lifetime and I know it's hard to determine the "wearability" of a mat after a handful of shots. After watching the entire video, I'm left with two questions. 1) Which mat would be the most durable? 2) Which mat was the consensus favourite, factoring in all your criteria? Thanks guys!!

@carlsplace

2 ай бұрын

Hey! Impressed you made it all the way through! It was a long one. And you have a great point about durability. Hard to test for this video, but we can honestly say that we use all of these hitting mats decently often in our showroom and they've all held up well! Some show wear in the hitting area or standing area, but not enough to be concerned about. As for the favorite, it seems as though we leaned toward the higher priced ones, which makes sense. But that doesn't mean the lower priced ones aren't good values!

@@carlsplace It was a very good and thorough video. Most "reviewers" dont spend anywhere near the time that you guys did. I follow several "golf" channels here and as Im looking to buy a hitting mat, I dont wanna waste my money on something cheap, but cant spend $1300+ on a mat either. Plus, I live in Canada, so the exchange rate KILLSSSS me (Nearly 40% $CA to $US dollars.) I think most people want the best quality at the best price so I think, if I were to buy one, it might be the EZ Tee @ $450. I liked your criteria and for me "Realistic" and "Comfort" are more important that "Practicality" but the EZ Tee scored well across the board according to your review. Long story short...Great job boys!! I appreciate your candor....especially when you didnt rate your own Mat, but posted a review from a different guy. Nice to see integrity is still a "thing" on-line in 2024!! I will become your newest Subscriber. Cheers!!!

Are we professional golfers? Far from it. And we know it. But we also aren't new to golf as you might think we are. We were purposely hitting fat shots, or taking some "turf" so we could test out how each mat felt on our joints. No point in picking balls clean off the turf - then you don't get a good idea of how they truly feel!

I don’t see the logic in wanting a good player to test a golf mat. I see the logic in wanting a good player to test a golf club but that’s more a case of a lesser of two evils. Meaning the inconsistencies that you have to reduce in testing a golf club, are the very things you want in testing a golf mat. Unless of course you’re someone who isn’t really interested in knowing how a golf mat will react to a wide variety of misses. That’s the logic anyway but maybe I’m missing something.

Everyone's opinion is different! Some people prefer the firmer mats, while others prefer soft. Some prefer ones that provide more realistic punishment on fat shots, but some don't like those because they might grab your club and hurt joints a bit more. All personal preference, and these were our opinions. We appreciate yours as well!

Hey Kyle! Thanks for the comment! While we admit that we aren't professional golfers, we weren't using our normal swings in this video. Both of us are clean pickers, so we don't really get the full affect of chunking or taking a nice divot. So we purposely were trying to hit down into the mat, before or after the ball, so we could actually review the mats.

It's ugly, isn't it?! But if you read some other comments and watch some other videos, you'll realize that we were purposely taking bad swings to actually hit the mat to get a feel for how forgiving they were on the joints, but also how they punished fat shots. We know we aren't professional golfers and that's not the point. Both of us typically pick the ball clean on a good swing, so we had to change things up to truly test out the mat.
