Take a piece of scrap wood large enough to stand on (say 2'x2' piece of plywood) and drill your cup hole through it first. Then place it where you want to cut your turf/foam and stand on it while using it as a guide for the hole saw. It will keep the hole saw from moving while also keeping the turf beneath from moving too. And always keep the hole saw at full speed and ease it into the turf. You want it to cut, not grab.

That makes sense! I'll try it if I decide to add the other cup. Thanks!

Enjoy your videos! I think I would have the gym tiles on top of the rigid foam. It might help with the dents.

Thanks! Yeah, I should have done that but was lazy and figured it would be good to see how the pink foam holds up under the turf.

I'm planning my own sim and your videos have been really really helpful. I'm UK based but reckon most of what you said and did transfers to this side of the pond. Cheers !

Yet another great video. I will say it seems like you really just need a hitting strip and build out around it as opposed to buying the 4x6 sig softie

Thanks! You definitely can do it with just a strip and that's probably more common. The only downside is you can wear down your turf where you stand. In my case I already owned the whole mat so I just used the whole thing.

Great video! What would be an alternative to the putting turf you used? I dont plan on putting on the turf so wondering if you have some ideas. thank you!

@user-wz1ux3uv2r 24 күн бұрын

Thank you! If you're not planning on putting you could probably pick up some artificial turf from Home Depot. I don't think they have actual "putting" turf but the stuff they have should work well to keep the ball from bouncing and rolling too much. Anything you get locally will be cheaper without having to pay for shipping.

Just got the golf sim! Partly thanks to your incredible content. Can you advise the manufacturer for the rubber threshold on your edges? They are safe and smart to prevent the trip hazard.

@user-wz1ux3uv2r 3 ай бұрын

Thanks, glad it's been helpful! I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to because I haven't added any rubber to the edges. The only thing I've done is pushed some gutter foam against the edges to stop golf balls from rolling off. It's not attached and I had it left over from the edges of my Carl's place enclosure. I would like to add something more permanent soon...

Great video. What cups did you use? I did not see a link for those in your description. Are they 2 inches? 3 inches?

@user-wz1ux3uv2r Ай бұрын

Whoops. Here it is. I used the 1.25" depth - onestopsimshop.com/collections/putting-cups/products/shallow-putting-cups-real-bottom?variant=37909590769821

Would you have considered getting just the softy hitting strip and then making this custom mat around it - my concern is around the actual foot turning and torque ripping up the custom mat/green if I go down this path. But it’s a lot cheaper cost wise vs the full 4x7 softy. Any thoughts?

@user-wz1ux3uv2r Ай бұрын

Personally I didn't because I already had the 4x7 mat but I have definitely heard from people that they ended up with a visible wear spot on the turf where they stand. You could also buy a cheaper stance mat from amazon or something to drop in next to the strip. That could potentially save a few hundred $$.

What did you use to glue the turf to the foam?

@bobbyheckeroth547 5 күн бұрын

@@loewendanno glue. It’s just sitting on top.

What’s your thoughts on the full hitting mat like yours vs just getting the insert?

@user-wz1ux3uv2r 3 ай бұрын

I prefer using the full mat so you know you have a stable and durable base under your feet. People that stand on the putting turf say they get wear spots on it from their feet. I’d rather not worry about it.
