Seems to be well made. I haven’t tried it yet but I like the fact that it has two levels. Use the taller grass side for practice chipping. Having two tee sizes allows for practice with your driver and irons. It’s also very portable. I like the product very much.
Rating: 5 / 5
I have purchased at least 30 of these driving mats which we have sent to rehabilitation centers at VA hospitals throughout the country. The recovering troops enjoy hitting balls during their physical therapy sessions. This product is great because it provides protection from wrist and hand injuries for the recovering soldiers.

I could not be more happy. The surface for this mat is high quality and simulates real grass very well. The two tee heights is a major plus. Need a good quality launch pad? This product is a sure bet.

good product, if hitting for less than a month, easy to tear and “grass” easy to come off, all glued product

Maybe the poor reviewers received “lemons” but the one I have is great! It serves its purpose well and has helped me keep my sanity by allowing me to practice my swing inside during the snow storms. The two tees (of different height) also help simulate tee shots with your driver and irons.
