Better for HotShot Hitting Mat (4×5)
- Cost-Effective Buyer
$499.95 buys the HotShot's replaceable strip in its smallest size: when the hitting area wears you replace the strip, not the mat. The Country Club Elite 4×5 is $479 for one continuous surface with nothing to replace.
- Space-Constrained
5 ft long and 4 ft deep, the smallest HotShot. It needs a flat, permanent spot, but not much of one.
Better for Performance Turf Tee Box (4×6)
- Recreational Player
A real tee goes in anywhere on the turf, so there are no tee holes or strips to work around, and a right- or left-handed player tees up wherever suits them.
