CHAMPKEY Heavy-Duty Golf Hitting Mat - Swing Path Feedback Golf Practice Mat - Ideal for Indoor and Outdoor Training

I really like this mat. It does what it’s supposed to. I’ve been using it everyday for about 2 weeks. The white painted lines overlayed on the velvet material do start to wear almost immediately. I didn’t have super high hopes for this, based on reviews and price (not that $30 for a piece of velvet tacked to a rubber doormat is a bargain - but respectively), but I can say I’m satisfied with my purchase. So far the green velvet material has held up well after daily use. I was able to correct an out to in swing issue I was encountering and helped me with ball first contact. It hasn’t ripped as it has for some. I personally didn’t have any issue hitting balls off it (balls rolling off may). However, when I do hit balls off of it I do so very sparingly. I try to use clean golf clubs, use it indoors or in a clean area in my yard and I try to simply skim the surface in order to see the shape/orientation/start of the divot I would be creating. So far it’s done exactly what I hoped it would. It has gotten some dirt stains on it that sort of mat the velvet, but I used a little diluted dish soap and it came right out and back to the original appearance. It’s not a perfect product, but I think if you treat it with a little care it should last and help you for some time.

Well like most golfers, I find ball striking challenging. Hit it fat or thin, face open/closed, toe or heel hits are easily identified, verified with this device. However, it is made of velvet and not meant to be used as an ordinary practice mat. It will not stand up to thousands of shot for weeks on end. They say the surface is replaceable but mine is still pretty new so I haven’t looked into it. After each stroke, you have to brush the nap back to “reset” the surface. I found it more difficult to do it with just the club I’m holding. Easier to use your hand if it’s not too challenging to reach the ground. The bottom line is that the device works and the price is about what I expected for this device. If you are inconsistent in getting pure contact striking the ball this could help.

I was a bit worried about the durability after reading (and seeing the images) about how the mat was getting shredded after minimal usage. Happy to report that (at least for so far) my mat has stood up to my fat shots and mishits. I can't get over how impressed I am with this simple, yet effective swing training aid. My iron shots have always been problematic to the point where I was considering converting to fairway woods and hybrids. But on my first day of using this mat, the feedback was immediate and enabled me to really work on correcting my swing path's lowpoint. In only a week of using this mat there was a noticeable improvement with my irons. I have more confidence in using them now thanks to this mat. I think I'll purchase another one because it is inevitable this mat will not last forever, but for now it gets the maximum 5-star rating from me.

I purchased this mat to replace an older one I had been using for a year (different company). I've had this one only 5 days and it already broke through the surface, rendering it useless. Even before the it broke, the mat was difficult to read after a "divot" because the surface wouldn't return to normal and still appeared darker no matter how much I tried to wipe it back. I guess it MIGHT be okay for long irons or a wood, where the swing is more shallow, but anything with a steeper swing is going to chew through this thing in a few swings. Aside from lessons, a divot board is the most valuable tool someone can have. Unfortunately, this one isn't it. Spend a bit more money and get a good one. Lesson learned.

Used this for 1 season and the top ripped. The top is riveted in place, so it is not replaceable. The pad also shifts positions after every stroke, needing to be re-centered constantly. I really wanted one of these things to show me my swing path, but it's just not as valuable as it seems. Go to the range instead.

Use for golf lessons when doing them and for myself

I set this up in the back room to hit foam balls into a hanging bedsheet. I’m just a beginner, but I’ve improved more from this little mat than from a mirror, video, coach or any of the other tools I’ve used for immediate feedback. And I’ve tried just about everything except the expensive electronic monitors. It’s wearing out after about nine months, but I use it every day because it’s right there all the time. And it’s fun!

It was giving me decent feedback on strike zone and club path/angle but mine broke on me in under 100 swings. Probably closer to 50 swings. Not happy with the quality and I will be seeking a refund.

Does what it's designed to do.

Muy contento, lo recomiendo.

Great little tool to hone in on where you hit the ball. Quality is good and great customer service.

Hitting surface layer is too thin/weak and the backing rubber is too firm - the top layer tore on the first day (and I was not hitting particularly hard or thick).
