Enjoying your content. How is the supreme putt turf holding up? I'm looking to floor my sim without breaking the bank.
@@RnDmSkIlLz511 it’s holding up great, but where my feet are is showing wear.
Awesome!!
I just saw this message that you are drawing the winner March 1st, I was contacted 3 days ago through my TH-cam notifications from your channel saying I had won and now they are scamming me 🤬
Great information. Thank you.
Looks great. It’s so hard to find one pre made online that isn’t a fortune. Just finished with my simulator with a mevo plus after being inspired by your set up. Keep up the good work!
Currently building my 1st SIM so this would be a great addition to getting it completed! Thanks for the tutorial.
I have needed this! Building my simulator now after 5 years of planning, saving, and drooling!!
This is great! I am going to build my simulator in about a month and will definitely be doing this! I was going to buy the Gung-ho Holy Grail insert but I love that this one is replaceable and easily serviced.
awesome design. certainly admire the thought, care and integrity you not only put into your craftsmanship, but your subscriber community as well. thanks
I build my entire sim based off of your videos thanks for the details and updates as you make improvements.
Great video. Just installing my 1st simulator & have really appreciated everyone’s video’s/guidance on how to maximize the space & make the most of the set up
This is the best DIY walkthrough I’ve seen to build an insert. Thanks for taking the time to document it for those of us always trying to tweak our setup!
Please not the person commenting is not us. The drawing is March 1st and will be live.
@@PixelGolf yea he’s trying to get peoples Zelle and cash app accounts and asking for $40 shipping! SCAM! thanks for removing his comments!
Awesome video, just in the process of setting up indoor mevo+ sim, and the best hitting mat insert by far. Have looked at plenty that seem to either be hitting off a rock or hitting off a bedroom pillow, you’ve obviously researched the foam densities and come up with the perfect solution.. will be stealing your setup materials and looking forward to your next video. (Hopefully on putting mat solutions for mevo+ sims!) 👌
Great video, ended up glueing the foam part to my wood floor and using Velcro to attach it to the plexiglass. If you have extra plexiglass you can put a piece a couple inches behind your ball to make sure you aren’t chunking. Kind of like the eyeline golf speed trap.
This is awesome. I ended buying a monster mat but wish I had built something like this instead, it’s just not soft enough. Thanks for the detailed video!
This is awesome. Was looking for some videos on indoor golf simulators and came across your channel. Looking forward to watching more videos from you and continue to learn! :)
Love the OCD/attention to details into your whole build. Can't wait to do mine!
First time I see this idea around the you tube channel. Very impressed.
Great work. I was also looking at the holy grail, but it seems extremely flimsy. This looks like a perfect compromise. Thanks for sharing!
Such easy to follow instructions. I think that even I can follow them. Recently got a matt but not satisfied. It will be great to have control over material.
That is a great design! I'm in Mesa, AZ and I'm currently puting a chipping\putting green in my backyard with multiple hitting matts in various places and lengths around the yard and I'm going to put one of these in every hitting matt. Thank you for sharing!
This is almost identical to the hitting strip I purchased, very good information and great build. Thank You !!
Thanks GolfRnd!! You going to inspire many sim golfers to save their elbows and joints while also saving some $$$ too! Appreciate the video!!!!
One of the best options I've seen for a reusable hitting mat in a simulator 👍
I like the idea of being able to reuse it with new turf. I had used carpet glue and that wasn’t an option. Thanks for the video!
Amazing. Been suffering some wrist tendonitis and this would help tremendously. Thanks for the insight!!! Cheers
Nicely done! I’ve been getting some elbow pain and this looks like it would do the trick!
Hey Man. Thanks a million on video and explanation. It’s guys like you that save us from shelling out hundreds of dollars. I have saved this video, as my sim construction starts in June. Grazie Mille.
I’ve made the mistake of shelling out lots of money for poor products which is how this channel was born so I’m glad it’s helpful! Feel free to drop any questions or comments while you start your journey - and enjoy!
Great idea and process! Thanks so much for sharing! I’ll be looking for the various foam pieces.
Omg this would be so perfect for my home simulator! I have a really bad one thats been killing my wrist and elbow!
Keep ip the good work
This is super, super impressive! Glad I found you all!
This is much better than my mat on gym foam approach!
Great description, I’ve been struggling with coming up with a suitable mat, tried using different materials under a the mat but nothing seems to work. Can’t wait to make this mat and try it out . Thanks for the video
Made one as per your Video..... I used a corner of my existing mat for the insert ...........came out perfect...... Thanks
Glad to hear!
Great video, I just built an indoor simulator and without something like this wedges are very difficult to hit
Great design! Thanks for making a guide on this 👍
Great. Now I need to update my sim room!! Good stuff
Thanks - I am in Phoenix, AZ and am doing a building addition where I am going to have a simulator. I have been thinking that this is a great solution for the “consumable” pieces of the hitting mat.
Great video! For sure trying this before I spend a fortune on one of the big name hitting mats. Thanks!
Great idea! My stuff just arrived for my simulator so perfect timing!
I’ve been wanting to figure out how to do this. Thanks!
This is a penny pincher pleaser. My tool challenged toolbox welcomed this DIY project. Thanks for taking your time.
Looks awesome. Currently working on a sim room with a buddy. This would work great!
This is going to be great to insert into my CCE. Thanks!
Where have you been all my life! Genius!
Deadly idea ! Love it. I’ve just starting to piece together my home sim. I will definitely try an make something similar 👍
Hope it turned out well and you’re enjoying it!
I like it. May have to give this a shot here pretty soon. Thank you!
Another great video that I plan to use with my simulator build I’m starting. Thanks for the info!
Such a dope idea. Putting my sim together as we speak! This would be a great addition!
Very cool! Not sure I have the time to do that right now, but I'll save this video for future use. Cheers!
Great breakdown. Some stats comparing in on a launch monitor to any of the other mats would be great! Thanks.
Great design. This idea would save a lot of wrists! I’d love to use it.
Nice! Looking for something to improve my (new) simulator space; great content for new guys to chew on.
looks great, very creative build! Really great for indoor simulation!
Great how to!! Some day this will be a savior to my elbow pain!
Awesome, looks great! I have been looking at doing one of these, this definitely helps!
Great video, i’ve been trying to do the same thing. Great tutorial, keep up the good work!
Great video! Keep up the great work. Just purchased my Skytrak! Instructions were clear and easy to follow! Hopefully I can win so I use it for my simulator 😉! Cheers!
Great video!! Looking for ideas all the time for my hitting station in the garage.
This is exactly what my wife needs for our sim. Great job!
😂
Awesome! I love it! If I don’t win yours, I’m going to make one for sure!
So cool, lot more simple then I thought it'd be.
Great content keep up the good work. been fowling the FB group and have enjoyed your insight.
This is awesome. Thanks for the detailed instructions. I have been wanting to make one for a long time. I’ll wait to see if I win before starting one myself . 😮😀🤞🏽
After a successful proof of concept, I put together my actual hitting strip today. Honestly found the 1" foam you linked a little stiff. Not bad, but I felt like there could be some more "give" to it. Fortunately was building mine into a 3/4" sheet of melamine. So I had to go with a different foam anyway.
This one came out awesome! Unlike any mat I've ever hit off of. And I've tried a bunch. Including the high dollar gel mats. I also set it up so that I can easily replace it. Drilled a few holes at each end of the polycarbonate. Then screwed it to the melamine with some truss screws and rubber washers. Will be super easy to replace when the turf wears out. It also simplifies the build and saves having to buy a gym mat (or similar) to go on the ends of the Lexan.
This DIY mat is definitely the way to go. Awesome to hit off of, and can't beat the price. Spent $45 on a 15' strip of turf, $10 on the foam strips, and $15 on the polycarbonate sheet. Everything else I already had on hand (melamine base, screws/hardware, and construction adhesive). I also made a stance mat with some of the turf. But still have enough left over materials to make 3 replacement strips!
Glad to hear! That why I like the DIY style inserts, you can tune to your liking!
Great job. Very well done. Thanks for your detailed instructions
Good video! Going to build one myself (unless I win this one of course), just trying to find good turf.
Awesome!! I could really use this. I am in the process of making my simulator
Great job. Taking a lot of inspiration from your design
Awesome, very well done! Looking forward to more videos!
Looks phenomenal…would love to see a video of the board in use.
Nice, I’ve been wondering how to make one, I’m no DIYer so thanks for that!
Excellent video and very easy to follow. Thanks for sharing with us.
Looks great! Thanks for the links!
Awesome video! Would love to have one of these for my player development program.
Building the home simulator this tutorial is gonna help so much👍👍
Definitely will be making one for my set up!
Awesome, I've been waiting for this video to see how to make this. Hopefully I won't have to 🤞
Great videos! The most helpful I’ve found as I’m researching for my own golf sim.
The person messaging is a scammer, we are working on having them removed now.
@@PixelGolf Thanks for the heads up. Peter Igogo is the name tied to scammer's Paypal account. He game me an email address as well if you have a way to report him to Google.
Thanks for sharing! I’m building my golf sim in AZ now so this is going to be very helpful.
Can you share where you buy your turf locally?
This is the local supplier I used: www.azturfmasters.com/
This is awesome! Nice work!
Great videos man! They have been a lot of help in planing my sim build
Glad to hear, that was my main reason in doing this.
Great idea! I could definitely use one of these!
In the process of building my hitting mat. Thankyou for the great tips
Well done, I keep modifying my simulator all the time and wanted to do something like this.
That’s good to hear! Give the mattress pad video I posted a try, it is a game changer. Update video coming soon.
@@PixelGolf Will do thanks.
Wow looks great. Thanks for the video!
Perfect have to follow this and try and make one for my installation 👍🏼
Awesome diy. Looking for a practice Mat and came across this
Looks awesome. Waiting for new house build before I can build my simulator.
This is a great video. Great detail!! Thank you
Looks pretty slick and think you're on to something with it! I'd be up to test it out for ya!
Congrats Dave! Check the live drawing video out, you won! Shoot me a message to our IG account @tailoredmetals and we’ll get in touch with shipping instructions. Due to spammers, please note we will not ask you for any personal info or payment!
Looks like an awesome design might build it for my setup
Great job! Can't wait to have my sim
Awesome hitting mat idea, thanks for sharing.
Great video, thanks! My elbows would love to have one of these.
Thanks for sharing!
Been working on sourcing all the parts to make my own. So this is great timing.
Had figured everything out, aside from what type and thickness plastic to use for the turf base. Was debating between polycarbonate and ABS in the neighborhood of 1/8”.
Think I’ll end up ordering both to test out any differences.
Polycarbonate at 1/8” would be perfect!
@@PixelGolf I ended up picking up some Polycarbonate at HD (.095-ish thickness ). Basically because I'm eager and didn't want to wait on shipping.
Kind of glad I did. I think 1/8", while not much thicker, would be a little too stiff. I also think the foam is what has the biggest impact.
Already put one together for testing. Have a second sheet of PC that'll be used for my final product. Going to actually screw it into a OSB base. As opposed to using adhesive or velcro. Figure this will make it easy to swap out the sheet.
This looks great. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this video. Great engineering
This looks awesome. Might have to give it a try.
I've always been hesitant to hit down on the ball when hitting off mats, this looks like it could be the solution.
Was just thinking of doing this, thanks!
Great tutorial! Appreciate the content
Thanks for the step-by-step video.
