- čas přidán 3. 02. 2023
- We’re testing out the latest products from Carl’s Place. Are they worth the money or go DIY route? Ultimately it’s up to you but in this video we test the new Carl’s Place 4x5’ hitting mat and divot style insert.
Using FSX2020 I’ll be hitting three sets of 10 shots off:
DIY Divot Style hitting strip ( • How to DIY divot simul... ),
Carl’s HotShot Hitting Mat and
Carl’s Divot Hitting Strip.
We’ll collect the data and compare shots across the board with a focus on launch angle while also looking at spin, total distance and distance from the hole. I’m using ProV1 balls.
Please comment any ideas, suggestions or comments so we can continue to bring you quality content.

Thanks for taking the time to not only review the feel and quality of the Carl’s stance mat and hitting inserts, but also how the different mats impacted launch angle and spin. That is something most people don’t take into account when setting up their sim room (or when hitting at a driving range for that matter).
Keep up the great work and thank you for your content. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for the kind words Jason!
Thanks for these videos. Really nice to see actual launch monitor data instead of just how it feels.
Thanks for the detailed review! Helped my dad build a DIY home simulator with 2x4s last year and we have been hitting off an old driving range mat. This would be an awesome upgrade especially since its decently thick and safer on impact!
Good to see someone using LM data to compare different mats 👍🏼 Keep up the great info on helping others build their simulators!
Thanks for the feedback on this. I'm in the process of finishing up my build and a hitting mat is next on my list 👍🏼
Always go back to your simulator DIY to try to build my garage simulator setup. I appreciate the creativity!
Love your detailed content! Thanks for providing such an exceptional service to the golf sim community 🎉
I've been watching your videos to help me build a simulator for the past few weeks, I greatly appreciate the content you make, since there isn't much in this space, and hope to have my sim up and running soon!
Glad to help!
Nice video! I’m new to golf simulators and your reviews and setup are very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you! Check the channel out, just put out some new videos and have a giveaway of the new divot diy insert one.
After using my simulator the past few years with a firm hitting mat, my elbows started aching and limiting golf. Frustrating that practice led to this. I'm definitely going to give one of these inserts a try. Thanks for the great video!
I went through the exact same issue! I thought it was from Mountain Biking at first. Being the extensive researcher I am, I learned it was the mat and the change eliminated that pain.
I've been searching for a quality mat, and I think your video convinced me to pull the trigger. Thanks
Nice review, the main thing is that the mat doesn't kill the wrist and elbows by grabbing the club to much after impact. And great looking setup you have.
Good stuff bro! I’m going to go to carls and get that insert. Beautiful
Awesome! Please use our links in the description if it’s not too much trouble, price is the same, but it really helps the channel!
This video came at the right time…we’re DYing a simulator. Keep up the great work!
You inspired me to take my golf to the next level by building an garage simulator set up!
Thanks for the review. Another insert to consider is the EZ Tee Hybrid.
Love the video! Just finished my simulator build and really interested in a good divot mat before I hurt myself!
Hello, this divot mat giveaway already happened, but check the channel out for the DIY Divot mat we just posted recently. There's a giveaway on that one as well.
Thanks for the review, always looking for quality inserts that provide realistic ball characteristics but are easy on the joints.
Awesome info. Thanks to your videos I was able to build a set up similar to yours. Love my Carl's Place prenium screen as well.
Thank you for the giveaway opportunity. Best wishes!
Thanks for the test. I'd love to see a video where you talk about (and show off?) your favorite GSPro courses. Thanks!
Great suggestion!
Great video. I was concerned the divot style hitting insert would affect launch angle/spin. This video proves otherwise putting it up against a standard hitting matt. You're videos are really helpful, thank you.
So I followed your DIY hitting mat. Works well. Thanks for that. Keep the videos coming. Great evaluation.
Thank you for watching!
Awesome info…I’m DIY building my home simulator now. Mat shopping!
Love your content! Starting my SIM journey with a 16x22 shed! hope the results come out half as good as yours!
Just found your channel! Just set up my sim at my new house and I already know I want to emulate your divot mat! Good stuff bud keep up the good work!
Thank you, appreciate the support! Best of luck on your sim journey.
Will be using all your ideas to help create my own. Great content
Like the content and the review. Going to be setting up my simulator this summer/fall after the additional garage is built. Been researching hitting mats and appreciate your video
Thanks for reviewing this! Just got a BLP and am having some read issues due to the mat moving around. It was helpful to see you get good results with the BLP on a different surface from the hitting mat. Would love to win this DIY insert to improve my setup!
Glad it was helpful!
Glad I ran across your video. Need a new hitting mat and love your set up.
As always, great in-depth video. I'm very interested in the Carl's hitting mat and the hitting insert. I have a Country Club Elite mat and I find it very firm. The Carl's hitting i would be plenty for me, Thanks for all you do for us DIY simulator folks. Yes, GS Pro is awesome.
Thanks for the support!
Great review. Nice to actually have some real numbers to compare. GSPro play would be cool to watch.
Thanks for the review. I am still trying to get my turf to the right height. I love the way your turf is set up. I am Trying to get mine the same height. I accidentally bought 3/4 puzzle matt. I might double it up to see how it feels on my feet. I ordered the hitting strip like yours which is about 1.5 height.
Great Video:) nice to see somebody working with the data to quantify the results. Keep up the great work❤
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for the review. Looking at an insert for my CCE. Like others, starting to get some wrist discomfort.
Love this, considering all the insert types now for my build
Great content! I put a simulator in my garage with Carl's impact scree, as per your recommendation and love. Thanks for your assistance on that. I've been looking at purchasing the carls divot strip, but shipping to Canada was too much. Love your content, maybe do love hole in one or closest to pin video.
Glad I could help you with your sim - sounds like you love it just as much as we love ours! Great suggestion on live videos. Thanks for the support!
Terry, I’m in Canada as well. What strip did you end up getting (or planning to get)?
@Peter Jurenovskis HI Peter, where are you from in Canada? I have not ordered any yet. I currently use the optishot 2 with the jagman joe top. I have pre-ordered the Rapsodo mlm 2 pro, so I will be pulling out the optishot and inserting a new hitting strip. I've done a lot of research, and I think the best option is to make or purchase the Carl's golf. I've watched Golf RnD's video on making your own, and that looks like the best way to make your own. I'll keep you posted on what I decide.
@@TheTerrymatthe Hi Terry, I’m in Timmins Ontario. I just received my Garmin R10 (have to send it back as the phone clip was missing). Ive researched hitting strips that are sold in Canada. Par2Pro has the CCE for sale, but many reports say that it’s still too firm for striking. Does anyone know what type of foam padding (and where i can get it) is under the turf? What density etc.? Let me know about the new Rapsodo.
@Peter Jurenovskis I use interlock foam tiles, which can be firm under that hitting mat. You need some type of memory. I'm not sure where to get outside of a mattress topper. I will def let you know about the rapsodo. Reviews look promising. I'm from Windsor-Essex, ontario.
I really enjoy your content. I have followed you and took a lot from all your video's. I have built my sim with your setup in mind, all the way down to the BirdieBall cups. Thanks for helping me build a great sim!!!
Great Comparison video thank you for sharing, I find myself currently looking to try something new as well it is how I found this video. I have been using the player preferred from fiberbuilt and it just wears out too quickly imo I have hit about 10k shots on it already turned it around and wore out the other side as well so I think I may try to cut something into the actual mat and retro fit it. I purchased aa new center piece yesterday just to make it less of an issue to try some new things out with the old one. Again thank you for sharing.
Great video thanks for making our simulator builds easier!
Been following for the DIY tips, nice review here on the Carl's one. Would be totally sick to get one.
Love your content. Thanks for reviewing. I’ve been looking into making a simulator in my home. Appreciate it. Would love to see you do some rounds on your sim.
That hitting mat just got spot in my shopping list right after Mevo+ pro package
Looks nice. I’m always on the hunt for the best hitting mat. Thanks for the review.
Love the content. I am currently in the process of building my own Golf simulator using some of the things you have mentioned on this channel. Keep up the videos and look forward to a review on GSPro.
Love the review, trying to figure a new insert for my simulator. This helps immensely! You have to play TPC Scottsdale, great course, played last March
This is helpful! Starting my first sim build this month.
Great video!! I am considering this mat myself! Your info was very helpful!
Good review. Thanks!
Great explanation.
Thanks for posting! I'm going with the Carl's insert in my new sim build so I was very curious to see what you thought.
Thanks for the support!
Thanks for the review. I was thinking of making my own insert but at this price point it’s much easier to purchase.
Agreed! The cost is difference is definitely worth just buying at this point and having more time to play!
Thanks for the review been looking into getting a new mat. Using a country club elite but need to move on from it.
Great video. In the market now and this is really helping me with my decision. Thanks!
Great video! We live in AZ also…just further north. 😃
All the better reason to use the sim. Just booked my first tee time in months and couldn’t believe the current prices!
I know they just raised the prices up here. So glad we have the simulator. Last summer when We started the build we modeled it after your build.
Great video. I am currently looking for a new mat insert, so this is very timely
Great video. Your content is always helpful. Hope to see more videos 👍🏼
Thanks for the review! Always enjoy your content.
Would love to try out the Carl's place insert! Keep up the great videos!
i have been looking for the hitting mat for quite sometimes now, but the are expensive. thanks for the video.
I definitely understand, cost adds up quick on these things… You could always do a DIY mat and save some coin and upgrade later or add on.
Thanks for all the info!
Thank you for the comparison.
Love the new content. Would love to see me GSPro oriented videos. Even just some “tournament” play with your wife or some buddies.
Great suggestion! Thanks for the support.
Good luck!
Love your stuff I'm in tge muddle of building a strip like yours. But ill take the Carl's if you want to give it lol. Thanks for always getting back to me with all my questions. I like the diy stuff n product reviews.
Thanks Dustin! Give the DIY a try, I am very happy with mine. Just made Version 2 of mine and will likely share a video of it.
@@PixelGolf yeah in a nut shell what did you change

Thank you for your great informative videos.
Great video. I'm about to start a sim diy build from Carl's myself and was debating all the mat options they offer. Was very curious how their mat matched up with the others at a higher price point. Carls mat seems pretty nice quality. Thanks alot for the info. Could use that insert lol
Good luck, you never know…
Good review, appreciate the different comparisons
Great video. Just starting my simulator journey
This is great! Thanks for all your advice!
Thanks for the great information! Looking forward to more videos. Cheers!
Great review! Can't wait to set mine up.
Thanks for the detailed review. very helpful.
Very informative video. I’m currently finishing my basement and looking to put a similar setup as yours. For a future video idea, maybe some lessons learned from what you experienced before since it seems like you’ve changed your setup somewhat. Things your learned, things you didn’t know, things to watch out for, etc. keep up the content!
That sounds like a great video idea, thank you!
Thanks ... this is great. Thanks for the opportunity =)
Dang I was just a little to late to the party. I was looking into Mats because I just got High School golf back at my old school and the head coach. I want to build an area for my players to practice when we can’t go to course. A nice simulation set up. My main obstacle will be the surface they hit off of if I was to put net and stuff in Agility Room and make a mini platform with hitting strip
Great to hear you're bringing golf back to your HS! Happy to answer any questions along the way. You can comment your questions on videos or email us at tailoredmetals@gmail.com
I could really use a new mat!
Great video
Great review and great content! Might be looking into getting this mat now!
As always, great content! can’t wait for the next video.
Great video as always! I haven't seen many reviews, or thoughts on the Carls hitting mat so this helped a bunch. Thank you for that. I'd love to see a review and your thoughts on the new Rapsodo MLM2Pro once it hits the market. That would be some good content :)
Love the set up!
great video!
Would be the perfect mat for the sim I’m building
Dude! Your viddies are great and as I have been building my simulator room, you have saved me thousands! I wouldn't mind you continuing to save me $$$ by winning that hitting mat... ⛳🤑😁😎
Great product! Hope I can win it
Appreciate the review and all of your videos!
Love the videos and all of the advice.
Love these high quality videos! I’m still at the end of the video right now but if you don’t already answer this in the video. Which of these would you recommend??
I mean, I like the both in different ways. If you’re on a budget, definitely consider the carls divot insert!
I like your setup and content!
Great review man
Would love to win the insert!
Play a tournament would be cool to see. Great video
Great content, thanks!
My pleasure!
Great video! Thanks.
Would love to win the hitting strip. Would also like a video on putting with the BLP
Hello

Sincerely
Jeff
