+1, Spurk mats are actually a lot better to play off than wet fairways, they are thick and raise the ball a little and sometimes I thin more than my fair share when I go back to summer conditions.
. I’ll add my +1.
Have you ever considered that some golfers don't make perfect contact everytime.
Yep. Firmer mat like the spurk.....club might bounce off I guess with a fat hit and still get the ball. Cheapie mat that I use....hit it fat and the light weight mat just moves.....it's still a fat hit, but the difference is.....what?
I tried some cheap mats. They tend to go uneven, curl at the edges, not stay securely in place with the little grips like the Spurk. The fake grass is decent and the ball nestles on it nicely like it would on grass; cheap mats sometimes feel like hitting off worn carpet.
Oh ...I get it. The Spurk just looks and feels like a better product. I use the cheapie mat.....but I don't even use the "grass" side of the mat. I turn it grass side down and use the smooth side of the mat. If I hit it fat....the club slides much easier into the ball than any fake grass part of a mat. Yes.....I am a fat hitter....
Surely not!
Do what my mate did. His daughter bought him one as a present, unfortunately it was the wrong one, a long one. Ever resourceful, he took a blade to it and trimmed half of it, half long, half short.
You said all this last year when the subject of mats came up. You're consistent if nothing else
