Carl's Place HotShot Hitting Strips
A worn hitting area should not mean replacing an entire mat. Carl’s Place HotShot Hitting Strips are 12" × 30" replaceable inserts, crafted in-house in Milton, Wisconsin, that refresh your hitting surface and let you tailor how it feels.
The Standard strip is made from the same turf as the HotShot mat — soft, versatile, and able to accept real tees. The Foam Divot Strip is the most forgiving option on your joints, popular for long practice sessions and family play.
The Gel Divot Strip offers the most realistic feel, reacting much like real turf and penalizing chunked shots just as you would experience outdoors. Many golfers keep more than one strip on hand and change them to suit the session.
Each strip fits every size of HotShot Hitting Mat and can be installed in other mats or flooring around 1.75" tall.
Product Highlights
Three Feels — Standard, forgiving foam, or realistic gel.
Easy Replacement — Swap a worn section without replacing the mat.
Universal Fit — Fits all HotShot mats and other ~1.75" systems.
Made in Wisconsin — Crafted in-house by Carl’s Place.

Installation & Care
