Six tenths of an inch of pile is the specification doing the work. Shorter than that and a mat feels like carpet underfoot and gives nothing back; much longer and a club head sits down in it and the strike feels mushy. At 0.6 in the surface reads as fairway, which is what a simulator needs for pitching and putting as well as driving. The anti-slip latex backing then keeps 120 square feet of it from creeping across concrete, wood or carpet.

How it lives in the room

Use the grid before the blade

A measuring grid comes with the mat, and using it properly is the difference between one careful cut and a sheet that is two inches short. Mark the room onto the grid, check the projector and sensor positions against the pre-cut holes, then transfer the lines to the backing. Cut long on the first pass and trim to fit afterwards.

Line the pre-cut holes to the ceiling

The holes for projector and sensor cabling are positioned on the assumption that the mat runs a particular way round. Check them against where the mounts actually are before anything is cut or fixed, because rotating a 20 FT mat after the fact puts those openings in the middle of the hitting area. A length of string from ceiling mount to floor settles it in a minute.

Six feet of width is narrow

Twenty feet long against six feet wide is a corridor, and six feet does not leave much either side of a stance. For a right-handed player alone that is workable; for a household with a left-hander it means the hitting position sits off centre and the follow-through crosses the edge. Two mats laid side by side is the honest answer, since every size in this range is six feet wide.

Before you order

Pile 0.6 in deep over a hard floor is still only 0.6 in: this gives fairway feel, not the shock absorption of a dedicated hitting pad, and driving repeatedly from one spot will flatten that spot first.
