Thanks for taking the time to show us the difference in hitting inserts. I am ready to set up my first dream golf simulatior on a budget. I would love to have something free to help with it. Keep up the awesome work, and I look forward to watching your videos, new & older ones!

Awesome content - thank you! I’m in sim planning now so perfect timing. Inserts are 1 3/4” high whereas most pads 1” plus turf 1/2” so need to make up 1/4” for surrounding turf. I’m sure there is solution, doing research is part of the fun 🙂

I you had to pick between the divot board or the gel insert which would you go with? Also can the Carl's hitting insert be "returfed" or would you need to replace it entirely? It's kinda pricey so replacing it every 6 months would add up.

Hello, for movie mode I use this, amzn.to/4g3twPo It is a powerful soundbar that has detachable wireless rear speakers that you can put behind you and a wireless sub you can leave plugged into an outlet i the room. It is very easy and sounds great! I have an extension cord behind my screen I can reach under and pull out to plug the soundbar in and put it on a stand in front of the screen. I have an Apple TV plugged into my projector that I use for movies and it pairs with the soundbar via Bluetooth. You can checkout my racing sim video on the channel, I show this setup on there.

The color of the Carl's insert is a brighter green, which I like. I've always thought the Money Putt Turf was a little too dark. There's about a 1/4" height difference, but Carl's now makes there own puzzle mats that fix this as they are 1.25" tall, alnk.to/44WImEY

Hey! Is your hitting insert now the one from Carl's place or did you decide to stick with your DIY insert? If you are using the Carl's place hitting insert, how did you integrate it with your current gym tile mat and moneyputt turf setup? I know the dimensions were a little different from the two. Thanks so much!
@PixelGolf
@PixelGolf Ай бұрын
Hi Josh, I am still using my DIY insert as the dimensions are 13x30" for mine so in order to use the HotShots I would have to buy a new piece of turf... I plan on possibly switching down the road though if some new turf comes out in which case I'll be sure to make the cutout 12x30 so I can use the HotSHot as well. As for the thickness difference, Carl's now makes 1.25" thick puzzle mats so the height will be pretty close if using your own turf. alnk.to/faCv5ck
@joshledda1245
@joshledda1245 Ай бұрын
@ Yeah I was thinking about maybe doing that as well. The only thing with the Carl’s place mat is that for my business size, the mat would cost around $3000 compared to the Prosource 1” that you linked which would be around $1500.

With the Carl's mat, if you were to put your turf on your gym foam, would it match up to be level? I'm trying to decide if I should buy the Carl's mat, then just build the gym foam and turf up to the mat.
@PixelGolf
@PixelGolf 4 ай бұрын
The Hot Shot mat is 1.75" tall and with the gym mat being 1" you would need a turf 3/4" tall to be the same height. My current turf(Money putt) is only 1/4" so there would be roughly a 1/2" difference, though this would not be too big of a deal.

@@PixelGolf haha that sounds like fun! Tbh I wouldn't be planning a golf sim if it wasn't for you. I don't doubt you've helped countless people like me, so the least we can do is say thank you.

did you notice any spin differences? looking for a mat that doesn’t reduce spin too much. I tried a sigpro softy lite and it was too soft and reduced spin
@PixelGolf
@PixelGolf Ай бұрын
Spin was very close across the board, but slightly higher on the gel. It will really come down to how you strike the ball, especially if you’re a sweeper. But just like on the coarse, firmer ground typically produces more spin.

Nice review. I would totally buy from carls if they made a mat that had 2 hitting sides instead of one in the middle of their big mat. I personally like having more room to swing even if I’m offset from my screen.

They stick up slightly, about 3/8" so not too bad.

So I am in the process of ordering everything you listed to make your own hitting insert. I have a question about the High Density Polyethylene that you put on the ends. Is there a reason you use that over lets say some type of wood? I'm just curious, because it is $50 dollars to buy on amazon. So I guess if there isn't much of a difference, maybe I could save a bit by using wood? Thanks!
@PixelGolf
@PixelGolf 3 ай бұрын
Hello, I honestly used it since it looked more professional for the video. I would save some money and use wood as it’s just to set the height.

Do you get any green marks on your clubs from any of the 3? I didn’t like the Bullseye 3d because of that
@PixelGolf
@PixelGolf 4 ай бұрын
Nope, none at all! I had that issue with a few different turfs I used, but the nicer ones don’t do that since they’re designed different and typically last a lot longer than the ones that leave the green burn marks.
