What is the most realistic golf mat you can buy?

I'm thinking about putting a golf lab in my basement in addition to the nice meth-lab I have created.

Any thoughts on mats and nets? I know most people don't like mats . . . but if you had to pick one what would it be?

Holla.

I have one of the 1' x 2' mats in my backyard. I hit way more balls off it than I do on the course and I've had it for years, at least 3 anyway. I used to get cheaper ones and never had one last one season.

There is one called a True Strike from the UK that is very good. I saw them in use in PHX in the big Golfsmith hitting rooms. Allows for good old down and out as opposed to down and bounce and up

That Fibrebuilt mat is a good one! Try your local driving range to see what is out there. They might sell you a slightly used on for a song...or a dance!

Nets,
I did that one time, went down to the nearby fish net manufacturing company and bought some large used piece of fish net. The company made different mesh sizes so I took the golf ball down with me and made sure that I couldn't push it through the netting- so I bring it back home - set the net up in the garage- Seattle - it's cold and wet in the winter. Had the golf mat all ready- set down the first ball fire away- ball goes through the mesh net- shatters the back window in the garage as the ball flies out into the field behind the garage!! Oops! Bottom line- better buy some solid steel partitions to protect the Meth Lab.

It's 5:45 AM on Tuesday Morning- FBI agents just raided Bucket's home- It's going to be a long time before he's posting on this site!

I tried a net, but it's full of holes now. There are even a couple holes in the wall of the barn, too

I was thinking about trying a piece of carpet next.

I have several pieces of turf from the right field section of the old Veterans Stadium. Different sizes and thickness (my son uses one to set his cleats on between games) I use them to save my lawn. I have a few pieces left and some small ones that make great remote control dollies for you hard-core philly fans. Let me know and I’ll see if the wife didn’t toss them out yet.
