WaveAction Golf Mat

Long Golf manufactures a new kind of golf mat.  We also develop innovative golf techniques (see above for links).  This page is devoted to the golf mat.

 

 A personal driving range.  Don't forget to open the sliding door!!! 

And don't hit a sha...n....

 

The Stance Mat (left) has a durable, firm rubber base and replaceable turf on top. 118 cm by 78 cm. No foam. 14kg.

The Hit Mat (right) has a patented sprung SoftStrip for low-impact divot simulation, a separate strip of regular mat material for the rubber tee, and an optional attached ball tray.  Serves  left or right-handed.  The turf strips are replaceable.

 

Are you happy with the mats at your range?

You have come to the right place for a mat that will not feel like concrete and gives you an accurate trajectory every time.  It gives so smooth a shot that you will wonder whether you are hitting off a mat or from a tee.  But believe it--the ball is sitting on artificial turf.

Standard mats are generally hard and hard on the golfer and club shafts.  The common range mats look promising as delivered, but they soon suffer depressions in the foam.  They hold water which is difficult to remove.  They must be rotated.  They bounce the club from a small impact spot.   They can make a fat shot look good.   They can produce misleading ball trajectories.  They encourage "looking up" and "picking the ball."  Softer ones are too soft for standing.  They have the characteristics of a piece of carpet glued to foam, which is what they are.

To overcome these limitations, we have developed a two mat system with specialized functional sections.

There is a "hit mat" from which the balls are struck, and a "stance mat" for the golfer to stand on.

The Hit Mat has three components: a fairway-like SoftStrip,™ a rubber tee holding strip, and an optional ball tray.

For turf shots, you hit from the patented SoftStrip.  Practice is not jarring because the SoftStrip flexes downward when struck.   It never grabs the clubhead, nor bounces the clubhead into the ball.  The SoftStrip consists of artificial turf mounted on a moderately flexible plate which in turn sits on springs.  In fact, rebound from the system is not usually noticeable.  Thus, long and deep "divots" are possible; longer than on real turf.   The friction between the turf and club is low, so the turf lasts a very long time.  And the SoftStrip doesn't pool water.

The Hit Mat can come with a connected ball tray.  The ball rolls very smoothly from the tray to the turf.

Lastly, to stand on, the Firma™ Stance Mat provides firmer support and lower cost than foam-based normal mats.  Instead of foam there is a honey-combed rubber base, so as to not develop low spots. The nylon pile turf on this is replaceable too. There are drain holes in the turf to allow water to drain between the turf and base.

The turf sections from both mats, the hit mat and the stance mat, can be easily replaced.  Private users can expect a lifetime of wear.  All turf materials are 100% nylon fiber, which lasts longer than polypropylene.

 

Additional Advantages

  • Initial cost and long-term cost are low.
  • The SoftStrip retains its cushion effect even with worn turf.
  • Ranges may be able to take advantage of a risk-free pay-for-use plan, where payment is only collected after each of four 6-month periods.
