Carl's Place HotShot Hitting Mat

The hitting mat is the surface you feel on every swing, and the HotShot is designed to make that feel as close to a fairway as possible. Carl’s Place HotShot is a high-end fiber mat that balances realism with comfort.

Its fibers are engineered to be soft and anti-fatigue, so you can practice for hours without the jarring impact that hard mats send through wrists, elbows, and back — yet still firm enough to give honest feedback on clean strikes.

The mat accepts real tees and works with Carl’s replaceable HotShot hitting strips, so a worn hitting area can be refreshed without replacing the entire mat. Pair it with the HotShot rubber base and ball tray for a complete hitting station.

Comfortable, durable, and realistic, it is a refined centerpiece for any golf simulator.

Specifications

Installation & Care

Place the mat on a level surface, ideally on the HotShot Golf Mat Base to prevent movement. Replace the hitting strip when the hitting area wears rather than replacing the whole mat. Brush or vacuum the fibers periodically to remove debris.
