I just don't want them all mad at me again. They're an angry, hostile and insecure bunch. The video is removed too. Hard to say what I think without seeing it better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in-9_...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CMEF...eature=related |

I have seen people do this for winter play, never have played on ice and snow myself but I will say that I have the absolute perfect mat for winter time play. It is an old door mat, a large door mat maybe 3 x 5 feet, made of brown coconut fibers. I use it in the winter for hitting balls into a net off of the dormant bermuda grass in my back yard, so I don't tear up the grass too much. It is tough enough to hold up to the beating it takes with a club, it is softer than any plastic turf mat, it feels just exactly like hitting off of soft turf and it is heavy enough that it doesn't move around when a ball is hit off it, and it is stiff enough that when the ground gets a little wet it stays rigid and gives a more stable hitting surface. This mat would be perfect for hitting off frozen ground.

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. |

I have never heard of having to do this. The courses around here will pretty much let you hit wherever. The theory here is "if you're brave enough to hit the frozen ground, go for it."

I find that I hit the ball pretty high off of it with full shots, but I don't mind that. |
