Carl's Place HotShot Golf Mat

Premium Golf Mat with Replaceable Hitting Inserts

The Carl's Place HotShot Golf Mat System delivers fairway-realistic practice with smart, modular design. Unlike traditional mats requiring full replacement when worn, the HotShot features a replaceable 30"x12" hitting strip that drops into any mat size—extending mat life while letting you customize feel for different shot types.

Choose Your Hitting Insert: Three Performance Options

Standard Insert: Made from the same high-end fiber as the mat base, the Standard insert provides authentic turf feedback with durability for thousands of swings. Accepts real wooden tees for driver practice and launch monitor accuracy. Ideal for golfers prioritizing realistic ball-turf interaction and club feedback.

Foam Divot Strip: The softest option, engineered specifically for joint protection during extended practice sessions. Cushions impact without sacrificing shot realism, making it perfect for golfers recovering from injury, seniors, or anyone practicing 100+ balls per session. Reduces stress on ankles, knees, and hips compared to standard mats.

Gel Divot Strip: Mimics natural fairway conditions with divot-taking capability. The gel construction allows clubs to penetrate the surface slightly, providing the most realistic feedback for ball-first contact while punishing fat shots. Tour-level players and serious ball-strikers prefer this option for honest swing feedback.

All three inserts measure 30"L x 12"W x 1.75"H and install in seconds — no tools required. Order multiple inserts to match different practice goals: Foam for warming up, Gel for serious ball-striking work.

Four Mat Sizes for Every Space

4'x5' Offset Hitting: Compact design for tight spaces or dedicated short game areas. Offset hitting zone accommodates right-handed golfers with adequate stance room for full iron swings.

5'x8' Offset Hitting: Mid-size option balancing space efficiency with full-swing capability. Fits standard garage bays and basement simulator rooms. Offset hitting area works for right-handed setups.

4'x9' Center Hitting: Most popular size for home simulators. Centered hitting zone accommodates both right and left-handed golfers. Extended 9-foot length provides comfortable approach space without excessive width.

6'x10' Center Hitting: Professional-grade dimensions for commercial facilities or high-end home installations. Center hitting area with generous stance zones eliminates edge restrictions. Multiple golfers practice side-by-side comfortably.

All mats measure 1¾" thick with three pre-drilled holes for rubber tee holders. High-end fiber construction provides cushioned feedback while maintaining durability for daily use.

Optional Non-Slip Base System

Interlocking rubber base pieces prevent mat movement during aggressive swings while adding extra joint cushioning. EPDM rubber construction withstands thousands of impacts without degrading. Base includes corner pieces (24.5"L x 24.5"W x 1.75"D), side pieces (24.5"L x 12"W x 1.75"D), and middle pieces (12"L x 12"W x 1"D).

The raised lip design locks mats in position—even with driver swings generating 120+ mph club speed. Add ½" additional cushioning reduces fatigue during marathon practice sessions.

Designed for Joint Protection

Traditional hard mats transfer impact shock directly through ankles, knees, and hips — limiting practice duration and risking injury. The HotShot system's foam backing absorbs impact energy, enabling 2-3 hour sessions without discomfort. Golfers transitioning from concrete-backed range mats immediately notice reduced joint stress.

The anti-fatigue construction proves especially valuable for older golfers, those recovering from injuries, or anyone building swing changes requiring high-volume repetition. Practice more frequently and longer without the next-day soreness typical of harder surfaces.

Launch Monitor Compatibility

All HotShot mats work seamlessly with camera-based and radar launch monitors. The consistent 1¾" surface height maintains proper ball-to-sensor distances. Accepts real wooden tees for accurate driver data — critical for photometric systems measuring tee height and club approach angle.

Three pre-drilled holes accommodate rubber tee holders across the hitting insert, enabling multiple ball positions for different club testing. The mat surface doesn't interfere with radar tracking or camera ball capture.
