Installed the Foamboard 6 months ago, 11/10/23. I measured with a tape measure last weekend before the video and if there is an amount of compression at all it is not measureable for me on my tape measure or naked eye. Internet told me :) - "A 200 pound man standing on both feet exerts about 2.78 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure. Standing on one foot, he exerts about 5.56 psi of pressure." 1.5 Foamboard is rated to withstand 15-25 PSI. So having 1/2" foam/rubber + 3/8" turf I was betting that the load would be spread enough to not affect it. I figured if it did effect eventually it would be easy to replace or redo. So far, I'm extremely happy with it and becaue of that.. I put out the video :)
@@trpl_bgy Makes total sense! Why didn't you go with a traditional 1/2" plywood versus the rubber top EVA foam? This would have saved a lot more money. Did you just want the softer feel? Love the setup, just curious.
@jordangoracke1430 great question. Was really an order of operations limitation lol. Already had the floor in before ever decided or considered going this route. It is nice and soft and the tiles link together very “flush” to one another as well. But not sure this is exactly how one would draw up starting from scratch. Mostly wanted to put out an example of the use of the foam panels as I haven’t seen anyone try it and was sure others were wondering like I had. I searched and searched for someone who could tell me it worked or didn’t but never found. So thought I’d play guinea pig here and try it. I should add, the ball bounce is greatly reduced and it the combination of the layers seemed to absorb sound, just felt slightly less loud after install
Great video. What mat are you standing on. Looks like it takes traffic well. I noticed your hitting insert showed wear but where you were standing didn’t. I’m using cheapo depo putting green material from Home depot but it’s wearing down from my stance. Looking to do something that will not need to be replaced every 6 months
So that is the "Stance Mat" portion of the SIG Pro Softy hitting mat. I had gone through two $300 mat's from local sports store and decided to invest in something more professional because of reviews. It's exremely durable and the hitting strip on the SIG Pro Softy hitting mat is relpaceable. I would recommend the purchase to all. Its been great on my joints and the hitting strip is 7 months old now and I don't plan to replace soon. SIGPRO Softy Golf Mat - amzn.to/3vxM7SA
Good video! Thanks for all the help yesterday, come to find out my pc build did not have bluetooth for the MLM. I ordered an adapter and I'm going to build a faraday cage for the projector. I'm hoping it will help with all these "ghost shots" I get.
@@todpharis4996 I didn’t but only because I had the rubber flooring prior to getting the sig pro softy. It would save a few hundred dollars or more depending on the total area you cover. Thanks for comment and thanks for watching
I'm now advancing to the flooring part of my garage build and would love to mimic what you show us in this video. In order to save some money though, instead of picking up a 4x7 SigPro stance mat for my standing area & surrounding the rest of it with your solution, could I use 1.5" foam board + 0.5" rubber mat + 3/8" turf for the entirety of my floor & then cut out a 28"x12" hole for the SigPro Softy strip? Or would I likely be unhappy with the way it feels under my feet? Also curious if I were to go with a 0.5" foam board, 0.5" rubber mat, and 0.25" turf & matched that with a 1.25" SigPro Softy Lite strip, do you think I would notice a difference between it and the above build from a quality/softness perspective? It's not so much about the cost savings at that point, but gaining an extra inch of ceiling height might prove to be beneficial in my situation. But I don't want to consider this route if it's going to feel like I'm hitting off a parking lot. Thank you!
Question for you... now that you know the size build up to match the softie and all of your frame support, would you think a DIY stance of all the same build here and just buy a cheaper hitting strip only?
I think it would be worth the try. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work if you glue down the turf to the layer below, especially near where you insert the hitting strip. Had I not owned the stance matt first I would have gone for it. Great question.
Off topic but, do you have a tutorial on setting up webcam putting with the new direct connect bluetooth connector for the MLM2PRO? I never had putting setup but have the facilities for it now so I am trying to figure it out.
By popular demand I think I'll put something together here soon for this. :) *Note: It will be same as set up on the OCR Springbok Connector and I have videos on that. But the settings will apply the exact same to Duwayne's Bluetooth Connector*
Great question. I actually simply laid each layer on top of the one below. No glue no nothing. Other than the white frame. It doesn’t move or slide a cm.
Forgot to say, I did duct tape the seams of the pink styrofoam together to lock them in place and keep them level and more of 1 piece. Other than that nothing is attached permanently
@@trpl_bgy I actually did pick up on that during the video but just assumed you had to somehow marry the different layers together. Thanks for the info and great video
We have built a 9 hole course in our pasture. We are currently running some as sand holes and some as AstroTurf from some that was being tossed (75% sand / 25% turf). Do you have any recommendations for outdoor rubber or setups that would work outside?
I purchased from Menards and they shipped free to my local Menards where i picked it up. I did order it in 1 big piece. there is a link in the description of the video. Great question!
Thanks for the video. I’m still in planning stage and already purchased an sig pro softy hitting strip only and was going to build up everything else like your video including the hitting area for a clean look. Do you think this will work and hold up for a hitting area as well as putting area? Thanks
It's been holding up wonderfuly for me and after nearly a year I don't see any issues with it holding up for years to come. Worst case would be some compression of the foam and should that happen, replacing a sheet would be easy work. But i see no sign of wear at this point. Great question.
New sub here. I have the SigPro Softy. It’s amazing and I love it. My issue is that it’s to thick and with garage height being at a premium (8’4”) I have to go get a Monster Mat, just because it’s not as thick. Great video!
Unfortunately, I can’t. I’m in a new build townhouse. Would have loved to have Been able to use a wall mount opener, but don’t have the corner clearance.
Exactly what I am looking for. How long have you had this specific setup and how is the foam holding up?

Dude!!! I have a Softy and even Indoor Golf Shop couldn’t give me better insight to do exactly what you are doing. Big thanks for making this video!
So glad it was helpful! You’re welcome and Thank you for the comment!

You're welcome! Glad when I can help. Stay in touch as you come along. Questions always welcome!
I love the foam idea. Did you try the foam with no rubber flooring on top of it? I am thinking it would save even more money.

Another great video. I’m stealing your idea for the k2 tee hook. Love it.
Originally was going to cut that but now I’m glad I left it in!
@@trpl_bgy how many different size teas do you have out?
@@schop typically try to get by with 2, 3 at most. When I play solo I use just one #6 tee.
Common is a #1, #5, & #6
Awesome set up and thanks for the step by step instructions. This is just what I'm looking for to start my own setup. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
What's your ceiling height and overall room dimensions?

@@trpl_bgy appreciate it! what do you download to get the putting? It's not built in to the BTC is it?
@kodycooper1034 it’s built in. Just needs to be turned on in the settings and it will pop up when you switch to putter
how did you secure the different layers together? Glue, screws?
Great question. I actually simply laid each layer on top of the one below. No glue no nothing. Other than the white frame. It doesn’t move or slide a cm.

Thank you for the sub! Appreciate it very much! Might be a silly question but Can you modify ceiling at all? Is there joist or attic space above?
Unfortunately, I can’t. I’m in a new build townhouse. Would have loved to have Been able to use a wall mount opener, but don’t have the corner clearance.
What size is your hitting bay?
Do you have material list?
incomplete but close in the Description. If have any specific questions feel free to ask :)
