  • 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. 👍🏼👍🏼

    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!

    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!

    • @PixelGolf
      @PixelGolf  Před rokem

      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.

  • @welder701a

    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.

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.

    • @TheTerrymatthe
      @TheTerrymatthe Před rokem +2

      @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.

    • @peterjurenovskis5933

      @@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.

    • @TheTerrymatthe
      @TheTerrymatthe Před rokem +2

      @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.

    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.

    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

    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!
