A static golf mat isn't ideal. Range mats tend to be either hard and unyielding (and may cause injury) or be too soft to resemble the real thing. Consequently, when you get on course you find that the swing which produced results at the range doesn't seem to work.

You need go no further than your own garden to develop muscle-memory for the swing you're working on. Just swing a club to hone your action, or hit real or plastic balls for every kind of shot, from chipping, pitching and full swings - from sand wedge to driver. All this without wrecking the lawn or spending a fortune.

Tour Pros use this practice mat - if it's good enough for the pros, this is something every golfer from beginners upwards should have on hand for regular or occasional use.

A WORD FROM THE INVENTOR and patent-holder:

‘I wanted to satisfy the need for a consistent lie to work on my swing at the practice field or range and also in my garden. In practice areas, playing surfaces tended to be unreliable and I often found it difficult to get a good lie without continually having to move from place to place.

At the range, I practiced off the provided mats but my swing suffered as I found I could not hit the ball as consistently when I returned to natural grass. Reverting to grass tees on the range, I found that these were generally in poor condition and could hardly be classed as grass – not for long anyhow. Also, I wanted to practice at home (especially my short game) but soon ruined the lawn.

The idea for the new mat system was conceived and worked so well that I applied for and obtained my patent. I began to love practicing because I no longer felt I had to compromise or sacrifice anything – it was like hitting off a fairway every time, whatever the condition of the playing surface.

It’s so smooth at impact, if you closed your eyes and hit, you’d swear you’re on the fairway.

My goal now is for every golfer to benefit in the same way and carry my Minimat system in his bag next to their golf glove, tees and balls, to achieve the most realistic results.

Your satisfaction is our number one goal. Minimat only use the best materials and we keep costs down to give the best possible price/value.
