The REAL Monster Mat First Impressions and Initial Review 

Awesome!! Thank you so much!! Let me know if I can be of help!!

Thank you so much! That’s really kind of you! I’ve got a new series of videos that I’m working on right now that I think you’ll really enjoy!

My pleasure! Thanks for allowing me to feature it on the channel!

Thank you so much for that comment! I’m really glad you’re getting some value out of the videos. I haven’t used the Tee claw product either. But every comment I’ve ever seen about it has been very positive. They are probably worth a shot! Thanks for the feedback!

@@TheGolfNerd I use the tee claw with the Birtees. It is great not having to chase the Birtees all over the place!

@@dakoppel thanks for sharing that! Seems like everyone who uses them thinks they are great!

I really appreciate you sharing your experiences! I’m curious to see how it works for me over time. I know all of these things can be very personal, but I’ve been pretty susceptible to tendinitis in the past. If I start to feel any pain, I’ll have to cut it short! Thanks again.

So glad you mentioned your holy Grail style Mat and you put four inserts in. Can you please tell me what they are and where you got them and why? I've been looking for info on adding different hitting mat inserts for rough and Sand simulations.thanks

@@scottyoung3329 I built the box, works great, but more DIY than many would want to do. DIY Hitting Mats/ Strips | Part 1 | Blue Collar Golf Simulator Build series | Monster Mat Tamed! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D0gU1TF-qqc.html

Thanks man! I really try to be honorable. If I can answer any questions about mats, hit me up. I’m an open book.

When comparing these two products that you’re referring to, I very much prefer the EZ Tee hybrid. The main reason is they perform similarly, but the EZ Tee hybrid doesn’t have the mess associated with it. Thanks for reaching out!!!

Man I’m really sorry you had that experience. I didn’t use it long enough to detect the issue you are experiencing. Maybe reach out to them and see if they’ll replace it? Good luck and thank you for bringing up your experience. May help someone else!

I’d pick the Ez tee hybrid over the monster mat because of the mess. However I’d you are using a hitting strip, check out my Bullseye review. It’s what I use now and I have zero joint issues. First time in years I can truly say that! Hope this helps and thanks for the question!!

Honestly I like them both but for different applications. I like hitting off the Ez tee hybrid better, but I prefer the monster mat as a stance mat. The ideal situation would be to cut in an EZ tee hybrid into the monster mat which you could do after awhile. The monster mat is not bad at all, but I really got sick of the debris that comes off the mat. It’s pretty messy, but it’s also a very attractive price. So, comes down to personal preference I’d say.

As far as size, 5x5 or 4x6 will work fine on their own.

The overall height is 1 5/8”. I haven’t had a chance to play with the Sigg pro softy at all. That is a really thick mat! Thanks for the comment, and please let me know whether I can be of any more help!

@@TheGolfNerd Thank you!!!

@@bougie_kenny my pleasure!!

My first mat was The Monster Mat, returned for the Softy and it’s a night and day difference. MM was a pure mess and tough on the joints, after getting the Softy there is zero mess, looks cleaner and is much more forgiving on the body. Yes size wise it’s about double, and I was worried my driver would be hitting the ceiling but thankfully it wasn’t. But if height is the issue the MM will give you and extra inch and change … but the mess it makes was enough for me to return.

@@chrisimes478 Thanks Chris - that’s my issue. The SIG Pro Softy lifts me so high that I can’t clear my woods from the ceiling at all. My wife jokes with me and says I’m stepping up on my stage and we should use it for karaoke. LOL I love the Softy - it’s forgiving, doesn’t move when you swing, but I can’t really use it. It’s pretty damn good though.

I prefer the Ez tee for hitting but I prefer the stance feel of the monster mat. If I had to go with one or the other, I’d probably go with the ez tee hybrid just because of the mess from the monster mat. There’s a link in my comment at the top that shows what I mean after three weeks of use. Having said that, the monster mat is a solid product, easy on the body and is very affordable. I guess you just have to weight out what’s most important to you. Thanks for reaching out!!

Thanks!!

I kept it in play for probably a month, and I never got through the residue coming off the mat. I believe I linked to a short video showing my follow up in the description. Might want to see that.

Thank you very much. I'll check that out. Take care!

I do not still use the monster mat. I used it for a period of one month.

This is a different company. This is safe, play golf. And to be clear, SimTurf is a distributor for synthetic turf international, which is the manufacturer of the EZ Tee hybrid product. Thanks for the question!

Completely understood. Thanks for the feedback!!

Have noticed this for years when I hit off mats. Always wiped it off…not an issue
