Your videos have come a long way, certainly more comfortable and conversational. I placed a 1x4 EZTee hybrid insert in the same putting green you have which sits on foam exercise mats and love the results. Hitting mat and putting mat are level. Allowing me leftys and rightys to hit. I cant imagine my turf Matt wearing out due to putts. Thanks again for the tee review ordering 3 sets to save on shipping.
Thank you so much for the feedback. I’m learning as I go! How has you putting surface held up? I’ve been leaning towards just cutting in a hitting strip as well, that’s why I’m asking.
@@fanoftheboxtoo I’m sorry, but to be clear, your standing on the np45 while hitting shots and aren’t seeing wear? Also, how long have you been using it that way if I have this right?
You should link videos you talk about (like the one about the checkmate tees) as either a card or in the description so I can make my way to them much easier when you talk about them
@TheGolfNerd I sent you and email asking a few questions. Most recent email was why did you choose the SimTurf brand of turf and hitting mat over the Bullseye turf and hitting mat. Plan to do the exact same set up as you and place my order this week but would like your imput before doing so. I have very similar dimension to your room and will be using the same screen size as you. Currently running a Mevo+ as my launch. Thanks again for the great content.
I responded several hours ago. It might be in your junk folder? If you can’t find it respond here and I’ll copy and paste what I sent you!! Thanks Kevin!!
Thanks. Like a popster below said, you have certainly become far more comfortable in front of the camera. Nice reviews. They have helped me a lot for planning my sim. A question though. If I buy a 1*4 strip, can it be rolled up to be put in a suitcase?
It’ll have some short term memory if you roll it up so be prepared for it to take awhile for it to flatten out. Of course if you leave it rolled up for too long, you may have trouble getting it to lay flat again. Not really sure how long you could safely do this! Thanks for the feedback! It’s becoming more natural for me as well, but I appreciate the nice comment!
After having mine for a few months I noticed a green powder on my clubs I don't know if that's an indicator of the mat wearing or it getting pollen on it. But I did get some elbow soreness in my right elbow as well. That's likely more to my hitting the mat really fat as I am just getting back into golf, but unless you are using a fiber built bristle mat you will likely exprience soreness with any mat if you hit a bunch of fat shots. Overall I'd buy it again for it's size and affordability.
Thanks for sharing your experience. You might want to check out my Bullseye review. Since using it for several months I have had zero pain. Highly recommended!
Yup! As I said in earlier videos, this mat is hard to beat! How do you like standing on it? I have just strips and use different stance mats that are harder.
I actually prefer a slightly firmer feel under my feet as well, but I’ve been hesitant to go that route because of what simturf recommended. Probably part of the reason o haven’t cut it in yet. Thanks for the question!!
Thanks for the video! What size mat did you go for? I’m trying to decide between 4x6 or 5x5… 4x6 being cheaper but I wonder if the 5x5 will allow me to rotate the whole mat 4 times and get more longevity?
I went with 4x6 really just cause the initial cost was lower. One thing to keep in mind, wherever you are standing will compress the turf and will affect how the mat performs, so just keep that in mind when figuring out what to go with. Thanks for the question and if you haven’t already please consider subscribing!
Great video! Thank you for sharing!! I just purchased the EZ Tee Hybrid 4x6 hitting turf for my in progress golf simulator project. I have been playing golf for many years, but have zero experience in simulator construction. The simulator is going in a room with dense carpet and thick carpet pad. I was thinking the turf maybe will need a firm layer between the carpet and the turf; but not sure. Do you think it would be a good idea to attach the turf to a 1/4 or 1/8 inch plywood sheet? Any suggestions are sincerely appreciated!!
Glad you got some value. As far as your situation, I really can say with any certainty. I’d recommend starting with your mat on the carpet. See where it takes you. Good luck with the project, you can see my sim build video on the channel.
Thanks for the video 👍🏻 which mat did you pair the EZ hitting strip with? I recently tried the EZ and really like the feel/responsiveness but want something a little firmer under my feet.
Thanks for the feedback!!! I actually ended up cutting a hitting strip into my putting turf which sits on EVA foam gym tiles. I really like this firm stance setup. Just have to make sure you use the correct thicknesses so that the hitting strip is level with the turf. Thanks again!!
Thanks for your video. Do you have a video with links to your current sim setup. I am building my first sim and was thinking about side curtains as well. What screen are you using? Enclosure? Also I just bot the 2022 mevo+ plus with the pro package. Now a month later flightscope has a new 2023 version. New software. I wonder if you were thinking of trying to review the new one when it's released. Lastly have you done a video on setup and using the mevo +. Thanks
If you see this video, it’ll provide all the components I used in the description. As the main changes to the Mevo plus are the stand and battery, I don’t plan on reviewing the new model. As far as setup, I think I talked to this in my Mevo plus review video. But if you still have questions, just let me know!! Thanks for the comment!!!
Thank you for the review. I am currently using a FB grass series and eventually replaced the hitting strip with the Holy Grail. I am pretty happy with the feel of the FB stance mat and the club interaction of the Holy Grail. But soon, I will have to change that when I start to finish my sim. One of the things that I will be doing is to complete the entire floor area. I am looking at the NP50 for my 14' x 14' area and a EZ Tee Hybrid 4' x 6'. Because my walkout basement only has a 9' 1" raw height and the floor gets cold during winter months here in Canada, I intend to put 3/4" dri-core sub floor underneath the NP50. And because evey inch taken away from net height is valuable to me (having a low ceiling), I was thinking of not having a subfloor underneath the EZ Tee Hybrid. I was wondering if you put any padding or subfloors underneath yours and if it was directly over your cement floor. If you did, how was the feel?
Thanks for the question! Sounds like you’ve got a really nice build underway!! My EZ Tee hybrid hitting strip is sitting directly on the concrete without issue. The feel is good and I haven’t had any joint pain. Given your subfloor of 3/4” and the height of the NP50, I would expect the hitting strip to stand around 1/4” proud of the putting turf. Mine does too, it’s not a huge heap, but I wanted to at least let you know. Thanks again for reaching out!!!
@@TheGolfNerd I hope so (fingers crossed). I've spent countless hours reading forums, FB Groups and watching TH-cam so I am taking the build slowly but surely. It ain't cheap and I want to avoid major changes in the future as much as possible. It's good to know that EZ Tee Hybrid can just sit directly on the concrete without issue. With the NP50 + dri-core, it will be taller by 1/8"-1/4" than the EZ Tee. With the NP45+dri-core, it will be at level to 1/8" taller. The NP50 is just slightly more money at CAD$0.50/sq. ft. which is not much. Thank you again for your response. Keep coming those helpful reviews!
Great information, thanks. I am looking for a new mat. You have commented on the noise related to walking or standing on some mats and the softness. My local rec center just installed a fabulous Full Swing studio(lucky I know), and the turn is very odd. It "squirms" as you swing, almost like the ground is moving. Does the EZ Tee mat have that feel? Is the EZ tee insert a good option with a stand mat, like maybe Monster?
Thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you’re getting some value out of the videos! I personally think the monster mat is a better stance mat than the Ez tee hybrid, but it is a bit of personal preference. The feeling you mentioned on the local full swing sim is probably similar to the Ez tee as a stance mat. It’s a quality product, but maybe just a little too soft for standing on. That’s why I ended up just cutting in a strip. Please let me know if I can help further and thanks again for the question!!
I have read that the Eztee mat is a bit soft as a standing mat. Did you find that an indentation formed? I have a Monster Mat, and thinking of making a cutout in it and insert an Eztee. Do you that that would work? Would the heights line up?
The EZ Tee is a little soft to stand on. For this very reason, I just cut in a hitting strip as the putting turf is a much firmer surface. I’m not sure you will see a significant difference in the firmness of the EZ Tee vs the monster mat, but you can certainly cut in a hitting strip and I think you’ll enjoy the feel and performance of the EZ Tee. You’ll probably need to secure it with some two sided carpet tape, so keep that in mind. I highly recommend simturf.com for your EZ Tee purchase. Just let them know what dimensions you need and I’m sure they can accommodate your needs. Thanks for reaching out!! Please consider subscribing to the channel if you haven’t already done so!
Can you please let me know if this mat is the same mat that allsportsystem is selling under the name of tall turf. I have it and it seems to be the exact same mat.
Have lately you had any issues with wrist /elbow pain? How thick is this mat? I have the CCE strip and it seems ok but wrist pain and elbow pain happening now.
It’s right around an inch thick. Maybe a touch thicker. It’s been pretty forgiving on my joints. So overall, I’ve been very pleased in that regard. Thanks for the question and don’t miss the giveaway!!
Hard to decide between the ez tee hybrid vs the Maga mat. Like the idea of the 4x6 hybrid for my Skytrac. How heavy is the ez tee? The Maga mat weighs in at 47 lbs per the SimTurf rep. Maga is 2” in thickness also. I also like the idea of standing on 1 mat.(less movement) I’m basically trying to avoid wrist and elbow injuries
@@josb4161 I haven’t tested the mega mat so I can’t give you any feedback on that product. I will say that the marketing director for simturf, who’s a former teaching pro, uses the Ez tee as well. I personally have a had good experience in terms of joint pain, and in the past I’ve been very susceptible to the issue. I also wouldn’t want to mess around with a 2” thick mat as it falls pretty firmly outside the typical 1 - 1 1/4” thickness. If you stay with an average thickness, you have more flexibility in the future to try different products. Thanks for the feedback!!
Hey Joe, the weight of the EZ Tee hybrid is 46 lbs. The thickness is 1 3/4". The hitting mat is stable but could move a little we recommend using double-sided carpet tape to secure it. Our EZ Tee hybrid is easy on your joints. Our customers highly recommend this mat because of the great feeling and no joint pain. Lead time is 24-48 hours. Transit time is 2-4 business days. Thanks and best regards, Kyle Hughes Assistant Manager Louisiana Custom Turf/SimTurf
Given it’s 1” depth, you will sink into it, but it’s firmware than my old monster mat, but not as firm as the Fiberbuilt grass series. My preference is a firmer surface and as a result cut in a hitting strip as this allows me to stand on the putting turf/Eva foam materials. This option is quite a bit firmer than the EZ Tee. Thanks for the question!!
Thanks for your insight. What have you used for the rest of the green carpet on whihc the EZ tee hybrid mat is set? I am looking to set up in my garage. thanks
My pleasure! I’ve got NP45 putting turf. This is made by the same company that makes the EZ Tee Hybrid. SimTurf.com supplies both products. It’s a little pricey, but I really like the NP45, rolls very true and has a stimp between 9 and 10. Thanks for the question!!
It’s been 4 months… How often do you use it and How many shots do you typically take in a session? Any change in the tendinitis situation? Any new joint pain? Yours is on concrete any desire to put a pad under it? I’m stuck on what is unique to EZ Tee that not under pad is required compared to every other OEM out there having a pad underneath?
Just got mine in this week, I was surprised how little padding/foam was on the underside. Did you add any additional cushion or hit off cement directly?
Off the concrete directly. If you are particularly steep some foam certainly won’t hurt but it will obviously affect turf height. Thanks for reaching out!!
I’ve read reports that the EZ Tee mat is too “squishy” to stand on, do you have any insight into that? I should also note that my base is the foam puzzle squares, which might add to the squishy feel?
I prefer a more firm stance area. Given this, I really do not like standing on an EZ Tee Hybrid mat. It’s a good hitting surface, not my favorite after reviewing other products, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for a stance surface.
I also have a 5 month old Monster mat that seems very grabby with the irons. It really takes away from my ball speed with normal descending wedge shots so was watching you previous video on the EZ TEE Hybrid where you mention it is firmer than the Monster mat. Now some of the comments state it is soft to stand on! I'm confused...
It is firmer and it does feel a little soft to stand on. I know this seems counterintuitive, but it is the case. I think the monster mat feels much softer to stand on. I prefer a firmer stance material and ended up using only a hitting strip. Hope this helps!! Thanks for the feedback!
@@TheGolfNerdStanding on the Monster mat doesn't really bother me so knowing the EZ TEE Hybrid is firmer definitely helps with my decision. Hopefully it holds up to the wear and tear of turning during the swing.
After having this for a year, not a fan of the mat for standing on. Way too squishy, actually feels like your standing on dominos and if you lean left or right, it gives some. hitting is fine but not a good stance feel. Sorry!@@TheGolfNerd
@@richarddavis5838 I would 100% agree with this. I ended up cutting a hitting strip into my putting turf because I also prefer a more firm stance area.
Before switching to the Bullseye mat, I used the Ez tee for 3 months and never saw anything. So if I was to guess, I’d say at least a year of heavy practice/playing. Thanks for reaching out!!!
Thanks for hitting me up! I think the EZ Tee is a really solid product but I prefer the Bullseye slightly. Some folks have issue with the color, so check that out, but otherwise it would be my current favorite.
@@TheGolfNerd Thank you so much for responding. I have more questions! What about the mat surrounding it? The part that I would stand on, around the strip?
@@adamvanhorn5328 sorry man, hadn’t seen this. I was pretty impressed with the monster mat as a stance mat. You could always cut a hitting strip into a monster mat. See my other video about the monster mat.
Thank you for your video! I have a question about turf and mat... I want to build a sim where the turf is attached to the wall/floor only where it meets the screen, and then the turf can be ROLLED OUT flat for play. Basically to get it out of the way, it would stay rolled up next to the screen when not in use. I'm guessing the hitting mat would just have to be set back on top OR set back in the hole if cutting in a strip instead. But would it be possible to do this with the turf you have? Or have you seen this done elsewhere with a turf that works to roll up? Thanks again!
Thanks Brady! Glad you enjoyed the video! The turf wouldn’t be a problem to roll up, but where you are going to run into difficulty is the padding that the turf sits on. Traditionally folks use 1”EVA goam, basically gym mat puzzle pieces. These would not be possible to roll. Perhaps you could roll up carpet padding but you are gonna want nearly 1” thick and that’s gonna be a problem. Let me know if I can help further!! Thanks for reaching out!!!
@@TheGolfNerd Thanks for your reply. I didn't think of that. (New to this). I will look into 1" carpet pad, but yeah, that might be a very thick roll, ha!
Would a 1x4 ez tee hybrid strip be able to replace a fiberbuilt grass series insert? I'm assuming they are not the exact height, but I'm hoping it's possible with some shimming. Thanks!
I’m not sure what the height is on their hitting strip. You have to look at the fiber bill website to see what the overall height is or email customer service. The overall height of an easy T hybrid hitting strip is around 1 5/8 inches thanks for the question!
If you out any mat on ground, I would think you’ll have similar issues with undulation as the ground won’t be very flat. I’d recommend for use on concrete, but not sure how satisfied you’d be given the above concern on ground. Thanks for the question!!
@@TheGolfNerd thanks! I plan to put it on a flat deck area so undulation won’t be the issue. Am more worried about the 4x4 moving around and the thickness at impact. Any thoughts on that?
So looks like you have to secure mat to floor in someway? My space has lvp flooring I wouldn’t want to tape them down etc…. Thoughts about how to secure?
I’ve used adhesive backed Velcro. I have to believe that you could clean this off of LVP with a little goof off if any residue stayed on the flooring. Here’s a link to what I used. It worked very well. amzn.to/3ZbVG2C
One of the guys I referenced in the video at SimTurf has used his outdoors for several years and hasn’t worn it out yet. So life should be really good. It is sold as a tee line product, so outdoor usage is fine. Thanks for the question!!
@@TheGolfNerd Thanks I ordered the 4x6 today. Wonder what delivery times are like? I haven't even gotten an email from them that they received my order yet.
One thing I didnt realize is that this mat does not have any kind of rubber underlayment on it. I called and was tempted to switch my order to their mega mat but Chris assured me this was the best turf they offered. Said no foam underlayment was necessary for joint comfort. I plan on it being a patio mat not an indoor sim mat so hopefully it works well.
@@jonathanmorton7476 SimTurf is an excellent supplier. I would expect you’ll be highly satisfied with their service. However, if you have issues, let me know and I can email my contacts as well.

Off the concrete directly. If you are particularly steep some foam certainly won’t hurt but it will obviously affect turf height. Thanks for reaching out!!
I just ordered an ez tee hybrid. I plan to cut it into my existing CCE stance mat as i have a permanent divot now. Any recomendations?
Check out my video on installing a hitting strip. Might find some useful tips there. Enjoy it!!
I’ve read reports that the EZ Tee mat is too “squishy” to stand on, do you have any insight into that? I should also note that my base is the foam puzzle squares, which might add to the squishy feel?
I prefer a more firm stance area. Given this, I really do not like standing on an EZ Tee Hybrid mat. It’s a good hitting surface, not my favorite after reviewing other products, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for a stance surface.
I also have a 5 month old Monster mat that seems very grabby with the irons. It really takes away from my ball speed with normal descending wedge shots so was watching you previous video on the EZ TEE Hybrid where you mention it is firmer than the Monster mat. Now some of the comments state it is soft to stand on! I'm confused...
It is firmer and it does feel a little soft to stand on. I know this seems counterintuitive, but it is the case. I think the monster mat feels much softer to stand on. I prefer a firmer stance material and ended up using only a hitting strip. Hope this helps!! Thanks for the feedback!
@@TheGolfNerdStanding on the Monster mat doesn't really bother me so knowing the EZ TEE Hybrid is firmer definitely helps with my decision. Hopefully it holds up to the wear and tear of turning during the swing.
@@richarddavis5838 mine seems to be holding up well. I hit balls about everyday.
After having this for a year, not a fan of the mat for standing on. Way too squishy, actually feels like your standing on dominos and if you lean left or right, it gives some. hitting is fine but not a good stance feel. Sorry!@@TheGolfNerd
@@richarddavis5838 I would 100% agree with this. I ended up cutting a hitting strip into my putting turf because I also prefer a more firm stance area.
Thank you
My pleasure!!
Nice review. How long before the residue shows up on the club?
Before switching to the Bullseye mat, I used the Ez tee for 3 months and never saw anything. So if I was to guess, I’d say at least a year of heavy practice/playing. Thanks for reaching out!!!
You’re using bullseye now? How does that compare?
@@thegoalnet5915 I like the Bullseye hitting strip better.
Would this be your overall best recommendation? I’m going to buy my first mat and it seems that there are too many options.
Thanks for hitting me up! I think the EZ Tee is a really solid product but I prefer the Bullseye slightly. Some folks have issue with the color, so check that out, but otherwise it would be my current favorite.
@@TheGolfNerd Thank you so much for responding. I have more questions! What about the mat surrounding it? The part that I would stand on, around the strip?
@@adamvanhorn5328 sorry man, hadn’t seen this. I was pretty impressed with the monster mat as a stance mat. You could always cut a hitting strip into a monster mat. See my other video about the monster mat.
Do you have to move your Mevo+ when you putt since this golf mat is not good for putting?
No I can putt just behind and to the right of the hitting mat. Thanks for the question!!!
How does it feel with fat shots? I want a mat that still tells on me when I hit it fat but doesn’t grab the club on well struck shots
In my opinion, that’s exactly what the EZ Tee Hybrid does. Fat shots penalized, but ball then turf shots just feel solid. Thanks for the question!!
Thank you for your video! I have a question about turf and mat...
I want to build a sim where the turf is attached to the wall/floor only where it meets the screen, and then the turf can be ROLLED OUT flat for play. Basically to get it out of the way, it would stay rolled up next to the screen when not in use. I'm guessing the hitting mat would just have to be set back on top OR set back in the hole if cutting in a strip instead. But would it be possible to do this with the turf you have? Or have you seen this done elsewhere with a turf that works to roll up?
Thanks again!
Thanks Brady! Glad you enjoyed the video! The turf wouldn’t be a problem to roll up, but where you are going to run into difficulty is the padding that the turf sits on. Traditionally folks use 1”EVA goam, basically gym mat puzzle pieces. These would not be possible to roll. Perhaps you could roll up carpet padding but you are gonna want nearly 1” thick and that’s gonna be a problem. Let me know if I can help further!! Thanks for reaching out!!!
@@TheGolfNerd Thanks for your reply. I didn't think of that. (New to this). I will look into 1" carpet pad, but yeah, that might be a very thick roll, ha!
Did you put any padding under the ez tee hybrid? I’m planning to put it on top of concrete
Nope. It’s sitting directly on the concrete. Thanks for the question!!!
What is the height of the mat, from floor to top of turf?
Thanks for the question!! It is between 1.5” and 1.625”. Let me know if I can help further!!
Would a 1x4 ez tee hybrid strip be able to replace a fiberbuilt grass series insert? I'm assuming they are not the exact height, but I'm hoping it's possible with some shimming. Thanks!
I’m not sure what the height is on their hitting strip. You have to look at the fiber bill website to see what the overall height is or email customer service. The overall height of an easy T hybrid hitting strip is around 1 5/8 inches thanks for the question!
Is this mat sturdy enough to just be put on a firm area outside?
If you out any mat on ground, I would think you’ll have similar issues with undulation as the ground won’t be very flat. I’d recommend for use on concrete, but not sure how satisfied you’d be given the above concern on ground. Thanks for the question!!
@@TheGolfNerd thanks! I plan to put it on a flat deck area so undulation won’t be the issue. Am more worried about the 4x4 moving around and the thickness at impact. Any thoughts on that?
So looks like you have to secure mat to floor in someway?
My space has lvp flooring I wouldn’t want to tape them down etc…. Thoughts about how to secure?
Are you only putting down the hitting mat or are you putting down foam tiles and/or turf?
Just hitting mat
I’ve used adhesive backed Velcro. I have to believe that you could clean this off of LVP with a little goof off if any residue stayed on the flooring. Here’s a link to what I used. It worked very well. amzn.to/3ZbVG2C
@@TheGolfNerd thank you !
My pleasure. Thanks for reaching out!!
Any info on expected longevity and how it would hold up outdoors?
One of the guys I referenced in the video at SimTurf has used his outdoors for several years and hasn’t worn it out yet. So life should be really good. It is sold as a tee line product, so outdoor usage is fine. Thanks for the question!!
@@TheGolfNerd Thanks I ordered the 4x6 today. Wonder what delivery times are like? I haven't even gotten an email from them that they received my order yet.
One thing I didnt realize is that this mat does not have any kind of rubber underlayment on it. I called and was tempted to switch my order to their mega mat but Chris assured me this was the best turf they offered. Said no foam underlayment was necessary for joint comfort. I plan on it being a patio mat not an indoor sim mat so hopefully it works well.
@@jonathanmorton7476 I would think it should work well, however my newest video highlights a product that does provide what you were referring to.
@@jonathanmorton7476 SimTurf is an excellent supplier. I would expect you’ll be highly satisfied with their service. However, if you have issues, let me know and I can email my contacts as well.
