Hitting Strip (Replaceable Insert)

$80

Replaceable strike-zone strip that drops into a hitting mat. The strip takes the wear instead of the mat, so you replace a $79.95 insert every year or two rather than a $600-$1,400 mat. Carl's sells three: the Standard insert, and Foam and Gel divot strips that let the clubhead travel through impact the way real turf does.

Who this is for

Honest match per persona.

Good for

  • Recreational Player

    Cheap insurance for the mat. Replace an $80 strip instead of a $600 mat.

  • Performance Seeker

    The foam and gel divot strips let the club travel through impact rather than bouncing, which is closer to turf feel for high-volume practice.

  • Family Setup

    Concentrated wear from several players lands on a part you can replace.

  • Showroom

    Keeps the hitting surface looking new without replacing the whole mat.

Not for

  • Space-Constrained

    Needs a host mat deep enough to accept an insert; portable and stand-on mats often cannot.
