Carl's Place 4'x9' HotShot Golf Hitting Mat

Description

The Carl’s Place 4’x9’ HotShot Golf Hitting Mat is purpose-built for long sessions with less wear on your body. A pre-cut, replaceable strike zone lets you refresh the hitting area in minutes, extending the mat’s lifespan and keeping impact feel consistent over time.

After extensive testing across a wide range of simulator mats, Carl’s Place dialed in the sweet spot of realism, comfort, and value. Use it in the garage, basement, or patio—the surface is joint-friendly and anti-fatigue, so you can practice longer without the aches.

Features

Cost-effective performance
Premium-mat characteristics at a friendlier price point. The replaceable insert keeps the strike zone fresh and the mat in service longer.

Joint-friendly comfort
Anti-fatigue construction helps reduce shock at impact so wrists and elbows stay happier through extended practice.

Built to endure
Top-grade fibers and dense backing handle heavy indoor or outdoor use while maintaining a stable, comfortable stance.

Honest strike feedback
Thin, fat, or pure—the surface tells the truth. Pair with real tees for maximum realism.

Easy to move
Shift the mat from room to room—basement, office, patio—whenever and wherever you practice.

Simulator-ready foundation
A proper hitting surface is the base of any sim build; HotShot drops in cleanly and looks pro from day one.

Insert Options

Carl’s Place HotShot Standard Insert
The only insert compatible with real tees. Soft, forgiving feel that still reveals fat strikes. Includes three pre-cut tee-receiver holes.

Carl’s Place Foam Divot Strip
Impact-absorbing foam prioritizes wrist and elbow comfort—ideal for high-volume training and long-term practice.

Carl’s Place Gel Divot Strip
Fairway-like glide and turf interaction for groove work on crisp strikes and controlled divots.
