Problem 01: Traditional golf mats’ impact upon your customer’s game

Unrealistic Golf Practice 

Traditional Golf mats impact upon your customers games

The playing surface on traditional mats certainly looks like grass but unfortunately it doesn't play like grass. This results in a number of swing problems when hitting from current artificial surfaces.

The golfer will tend to:

• Thin or top the ball to avoid the shock and vibration associated with striking a golf mat.
• Avoid commitment to the strike due to fear of injury, from hitting hard into a traditional golf mat.
• Experience unrealistic and unrepresentative ball flight and trajectory.

For example, a fat shot on a traditional mat will often have no affect on the outcome of the shot, as the club can bounce off the mat and into to the ball producing a seemingly satisfactory shot.

As the top surface of traditional mats does not behave like a fairway it is easy to learn bad habits on a golf mat. Not only does this affect your customer's game but it makes them less willing to visit your range.
