The Real Feel surface is comprised of a “Long Fiber” system, which soaks up the clubhead rather than fairway golf mat resisting it. Catch the ground behind the ball and you’ll hit it fat like you would on the course. Catch it flush and the clubhead will continue down into the fiber system and impart accurate levels of spin and compression on the ball.
Like the gel in the TrueStrike, the Real Feel fiber system is designed to eliminate clubhead “bounce” and react as though you were taking a divot. It’s just like being outside on the sun-kissed links. Okay, well not quite, but at least you’re channeling your practice time into something productive rather than smashing hundreds of balls off an unforgiving surface and crippling your wrists in the process.
Starting at $177 for the portable two-piece mat, the Real Feel comes in a range of sizes and prices. Most players setting up an indoor or backyard golf range will find that the 3′ x 4′ ($239) or 4′ x 4′ ($319) versions are more than sufficient. One of the best features of the Real Feel, after its fiber system, is the sturdiness of the unit. This is a heavy duty product and consumers have praised the durability of the playing surface even after sustained and prolonged use.
One highly practical feature of the Real Feel is its ability to accept a real golf tee. You can actually push a tee into any area of the mat to your specified height. Gone are the days when you’d spend five minutes trying to get the mat to hold your tee, only for it to topple over as soon as you addressed the ball with your 3-wood. Likewise, with the Real Feel, you won’t have to worry about hitting your driver from those thick plastic rubber ball holders (I resist calling them tees; they aren’t!).
The Real Feel is endorsed by 2009 PGA National Teacher of the Year, Mike Bender. If you’re trying to get a premium quality hitting surface at an affordable price, you’ve just found your mat!
