I have one of these. Bought it from my pro a couple weeks back. Have to say I didn't like it to start with, couldn't really settle the club behind the ball well and wasn't getting down through the strike. The worry about hitting the plastic further than the ball did go through my head a few times. Like a magician pulling the table cloth from under the plates..
Took it to the range, lay it on the mat and hit a bucket . It really grows on you, and for someone like me who's bad shot is fat, it really made me focus on my release.
Used it twice since and think its great. Not so good for half shots imo bit full shots are fine.
Better than the astro turf mats as well, never liked the ball sitting up high.
One satisfied customer paulo.

Thanks Brian, glad to hear you're getting on with it. Your experience sounds really similar to mine with the product. You have to trust that you can hit it without breaking it first! I agree that it makes you concentrate on the strike a little more too, which I like.
I find that I hit the ball pretty high off of it with full shots, but I don't mind that.
