WaveAction™ Golf Range Mats

 

Long Golf manufactures a new kind of golf mat.

We also provide innovative golf technique as a public service (see above for links).

 

A private driving range

Why does golf need a better mat? There are many answers. 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 are generally hard and hard on the human body and club shafts. They bounce the club from a small impact spot. After a little use they can mask a fat shot. They can produce misleading ball trajectories. They encourage "looking up" and "picking the ball." Softer ones are too soft for standing. Decent ones are expensive. They have all the qualities 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" for golf ball holding, and a "Stance Mat" for the golfer to stand on.

Our Hit Mats are subdivided into four sections. A hard strip, a soft strip (SoftStrip™), one for teed-up shots, and a ball tray.

Game improvement and golfing pleasure spring from the patented SoftStrip, a spring-mounted plate that moves downward on impact, absorbing shock and even allowing the clubhead to traverse a very long divot-like pathway. You can hit through the SoftStrip for up to 36 cm (14 in.) For fairway shots, its shockfree impact and divot-like WaveAction™ are made possible by a flexible plate on springs. The turf-plate gets out of the way of the clubhead in a long wave movement. Low friction creates a very long life, years longer than a regular mat.

For those who are attached to the feel of hard mats, there is an optional section of traditional hard mat material.

All turf sections can be easily replaced. Home users will probably never need replacements. Ranges will wear out the hard section first. The stance turf might go next, although today's soft spikes have extended the life of stance areas considerably. The tee strip might wear out. The SoftStrip is the longest lasting due to its low impact forces.

All turf materials are 100% nylon faced for long life.

The Hit Mat also comes with a built-in ball tray for tidy dispensing.

Lastly, to stand on, the Firma™Stance Mat provides firmer support and lower cost than foam-based normal mats. There is no foam, but instead a honey-combed rubber base, so it does not develop low spots. The nylon pile turf on this is replaceable too. There are drain holes to allow water to drain from the turf and flow out between the turf and base.

 

Advantages

• SoftStrip will not create artificially good shots with the club bouncing into the ball. SoftStrip allows severe attack angles and long divots.
• Golf balls are allowed to hit high on the clubface; you can feel and hear where the balls hit on the clubface.
• Initial cost and average cost are low.
• There is no mat pain or shock on the SoftStrip. Those who could not use mats now can.
• SoftStrip stays flat and fluffy and retains its cushion effect even with worn turf.
• The four kinds of turf are renewable separately: For individuals the prices are: SoftStrip 70 EUR, Hard Strip 60 EUR, Stance Mat turf 56 EUR, Rubber Tee Strip 40 EUR. Driving ranges get a discount.
• Ranges will 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.
   
   

Warrantee: Permanent parts are warranted for five years.  Turf parts are warranted  for two years with a pro-rated replacement.

100 EUR for the Stance Mat, ohne Mwst.

The Hit mat can be purchased without the hard strip for 45 Eur less.

Shipping charge is added to the above.
