Which True Strike Do I Need?

True Strike Golf Mats

The most common questions we get in regard to True Strike is: Which True Strike Mat do I need?

golf room and man cave

Ten years ago the idea of a golf room in your home was almost unthinkable. The expense and aggravation of creating a platform for placing putting turf on was a bit much for the average golf addict. Besides you can just go to the range or stay late at your club on the putting green….but you rarely did and your short game continued to lag. We all know how important putting is to the overall score that goes on the card. We all know how important those little shots around the green are. But yet, even serious players still don’t…

Scramble to Make Money Putts

We all wish we could hit a high draw 6 iron 210 yards. We all wish we had Phil Mickelson’s miracle flop or Bubba’s 360 yard drives. The reality is…we can’t and the majority of us will never be able to practice enough or build the combo of flexibility + hand eye coordination to hit the ball like a Tour Player. Nope, it’s just not in the cards. There is something that we can all do which requires very little athletic ability and many have developed this skill to be almost as masterful as an average Tour Player. Short Putts,…

Is Your Green a Sand Trap?

sand filled greens

For years synthetic putting greens required messy sand dressing in order to function properly. Many people still believe that sand is required in order for your artificial putting green to function properly. Guess what! No sand here! Sand was great… in the 90’s, but here in the modern era you’ll no longer need messy sand to achieve great playability and top quality feel. The sand was required because nylon was used as the grass and the individual fibers were not dense enough to stand up on their own. In order to keep the individual strands of fiber from matting you…
