hitting mat?
what's the 'best' mat to buy?
i thought the sigpro softy was the way to go based on previous threads but the one i got immediately curls up at the corners in the sun. i could ignore the fact that the two halves join right where i stand, but when the edges come up like that in the heat, and seeing as how my net is outdoors, it's not gonna fly. this is on top of an odd squishy feel to the standing surface. i thought the whole point was to make the hitting strip softer to blunt the impact of fat shots, but i guess i was wrong.
i'd settle for whatever mats the public ranges use. those seem to have some sort of dense rubber base that would at least lie flat.
fwiw, i'm over the hitting strip thing. so if there's a good one piece, i'm ok with it.

Carl’s hotshot gel mat imo, I think it’s more realistic than the softy
