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 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!

@andykrohg9657 Год назад

Love your detailed content! Thanks for providing such an exceptional service to the golf sim community 🎉

@crichton1873 Год назад

Good to see someone using LM data to compare different mats 👍🏼 Keep up the great info on helping others build their simulators!

@antre9676 Год назад

Thanks for these videos. Really nice to see actual launch monitor data instead of just how it feels.

@MichaelGriffin-bs9jq Год назад

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

@CJ-gz6yk Год назад

Always go back to your simulator DIY to try to build my garage simulator setup. I appreciate the creativity!

@jasonpayne4352 Год назад

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. 👍🏼👍🏼

@PixelGolf Год назад

Thank you for the kind words Jason!

@BlackjackCZ Год назад

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.

@marcmays9970 Год назад

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!!!

@wesleykikumoto1849 Год назад

I've been searching for a quality mat, and I think your video convinced me to pull the trigger. Thanks

@terrycanney6678 Год назад

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.

@hamill5861 Год назад

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!

@PixelGolf Год назад

Glad to help!

@stephenwimmer9306 Год назад

Love your content! Starting my SIM journey with a 16x22 shed! hope the results come out half as good as yours!

@chris1231k Год назад

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.

@zachmiller3048 Год назад

Glad I ran across your video. Need a new hitting mat and love your set up.

@kevinhulcup6822 Год назад

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.

@Par2Pixel Год назад

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.

@welder701a Год назад

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.

@peterjurenovskis5933 Год назад

This video came at the right time…we’re DYing a simulator. Keep up the great work!

@brycekoether8555 Год назад

Thanks for the review, always looking for quality inserts that provide realistic ball characteristics but are easy on the joints.

@ericmeade679 Год назад

Looks nice. I’m always on the hunt for the best hitting mat. Thanks for the review.

@JohnRW6410 Год назад

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.

@hammy9760 Год назад

Great review. Nice to actually have some real numbers to compare. GSPro play would be cool to watch.

@avarice8 Год назад

Been following for the DIY tips, nice review here on the Carl's one. Would be totally sick to get one.

@rickbeasley8553 Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

@FlyingBurrito272 Год назад

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 👍🏼

@bhwhiteley Год назад

Thanks for the review. Another insert to consider is the EZ Tee Hybrid.

@xTriickShottinq Год назад

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 :)

@tko9624 Год назад

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.

what size is your enclosure? I find the divot strip in my carls mat wont lay flat. Think I may need some double sided tape to hold it down.

@samha75utube Год назад

@jorgelatimer1985 Год назад

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!

@PixelGolf Год назад

That sounds like a great video idea, thank you!

@greghoffman6295 Год назад

Thanks again for the great content. Your build video helped me out a lot! Loved to see you complete in one of the SGT simulator tours. Questions...have you ever taken the launch monitor out to a grass range to see if the launch angle of your seven iron is from similar to the mats?

@PixelGolf Год назад

I have taken to the range with friends a couple time, but we mainly used it to see who hit the longest drive, it was not me😂 I definitely should do this though. However, my buddy who plays near scratch hits here and his 7 iron LA is at 16-17* and you can just see how much lower on the screen his impact is.

@randytaylor31 Год назад

Great video! Thanks.

@TheTerrymatthe Год назад

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.

@PixelGolf Год назад

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!

@peterjurenovskis5933 Год назад

Terry, I’m in Canada as well. What strip did you end up getting (or planning to get)?

@TheTerrymatthe Год назад

@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 Год назад

@@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 Год назад

@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.

@PeteR-rr5of Год назад

Thanks for the review. I was thinking of making my own insert but at this price point it’s much easier to purchase.

@PixelGolf Год назад

Agreed! The cost is difference is definitely worth just buying at this point and having more time to play!

@MadJacksLeather Год назад

Beautiful setup you have. I'm in the process of building my own and have to decide where in my shop I want to set it up. My options are in a corner like yours up against a wall or have it in the middle of the room with all three edges clear. I'd prefer the corner just to save on floorspace but am concerned I'll regret it. If you had the choice/floorspace would you still put it against the wall again? Going with the 4:3 aspect ratio and a 9' x 12' minimum screen size so I don't want to screw this up! Thanks

@PixelGolf Год назад

It really depends if you’ll plan to have lefty golfers, if it’s just right handed players, save the floor space I would say. Being in the middle of the room sounds like a cool idea though and you’ll be able to run it with side nets on both sides if you’re worried about shanks.

@MadJacksLeather Год назад

How would you recommend cleaning Carl's Impact Screen? Do you have to take it down, or can you clean it with it up? How crucial is it to dry it with a hair dryer after you clean it? Thanks!

@PixelGolf Год назад

We haven't had to clean ours so I would suggest contacting Carl's directly to see what they suggest. Their customer service is fantastic.
