The TrueStrike mats are a great addition to our club fitting practices. The ability of a customer to set a tee height they are comfortable with makes the fitting process more accurate. Tee height has a drastic impact on launch and spin, which are critical to fitting. Additionally, it is more realistic, and much easier on the customer to hit irons from the gel based strike surface than from a traditional rubber mat or tee.

TrueStrike mats are important to Mizuno for the following reasons:
- When we are fitting it is really important to us to give our customers the most realistic fitting experience possible.
- When using a normal range mat the club will tend to bounce and skid, making it nearly impossible to get a true reflection of the clubs performance once on the golf course.
- The TrueStrike mat really enhances our customers experience by giving them the opportunity to test our extensive range of equipment on a surface that really gives some resistance and is much, much more comparable to grass. When you couple this sort of enhanced feel with the durability TrueStrike mats provide, you really do have a winning product.

When you use TrueStrike you get a real indication of the quality of the swing and ball striking. Add to this the fact that there's limited impact on the joints and there's no better way to replicate turf and benefit your game. Tony Clark, Managing Director, Explanar Golf Ltd, UK |

TrueStrike is the first technically innovative artificial hitting surface I have used in my 30 year golf career; the TrueStrike's feedback is simply amazing.

Mizuno chose the TrueStrike golf mat as it recreates playing from a fairway more realistically than any other golf mat.
Mizuno chose the TrueStrike mats as our consumers hit better, straighter shots hence enjoying our fitting sessions more than with previous synthetic mats.
Beforehand, our consumers would avoid commitment to the strike due to fear of the consequences of hitting hard into a traditional golf mat.
With the new TrueStrike mat they receive far more accurate shot representation. This means that our customers will be using a golf mat that accurately recreates the effects of play on a natural fairway.
Furthermore, the adjustable tee function has made driver fitting much more effective as consumers can tee the ball to their preferred height.
To put it simply the TrueStrike golf mat makes driving range golf more realistic than any other golf mat.

The mat seems to completely eliminate the shock of a normal iron shot that you get from an ordinary mat. It also simulates a heavy strike, which is again not the case on an ordinary mat, which disguises many heavy strikes. Once the player is used to it they can hit down on the ball without fear of injury, which I think, is the biggest plus. The feeling from the strike is also far superior.

The performance and feel of playing from a TrueStrike mat is significantly superior to many other mats that I have ever used, but the overriding benefits as far as YMG are concerned are the ones that affect the young golfer's health.
The impact absorption offered by the special striking surface undoubtedly means that there is far less vibration and jarring than from conventional mats. This means the risk of injury from the cumulative affect of many hours of practice on the golf range is greatly reduced.

The TrueStrike mat we received from you has really improved our club testing and custom fitting facility. The mat is great for two important reasons, firstly the mat really plays like the fairway and produces realistic launch angles and spin rates compared to other mats. This means our customers can get a real feel for how the club will perform out on the course and also means we can fit the ideal club for their individual playing style. Secondly, we have noticed a significant increase in both the testing levels and sales for the brand displayed on the TrueStrike top surface.

Although these days I am recognised more as a coach rather than a European Tour player, I still derive great enjoyment from practising and demonstrating shots. Unfortunately a wrist injury, due to hitting off mats completely stopped me playing. However since using a TrueStrike mat I am now back to 100% fitness, due to the limited impact on my joints. It has been a revelation not only to me but also to pupils who suffered from similar injuries.

"You have to try it to believe it. The TrueStrike mat is the closest simulation to hitting of natural turf. I would highly recommend this product to anyone."

"In my opinion the realistic way the TrueStrike golf mat simulates playing from a fairway makes it the perfect practice, training and teaching aid."

"I've had 3 PGA pros and a number of sub 5 handicap golfers who have tried the TrueStrike mat and all I've had is comments such as "honestly the best synthetic surface I've hit off" "and "my wrists feel better after 100 balls off that mat than after any round I've played this summer".
Personally I hate the things, I always knew I cheated a bit on the old mats as I skipped into the ball, but, as I hit another duck hooked 5 iron about 110 yards, 'fat' isn't strong enough.... obese would be closer to the mark. I'd be able to practice more if it wasn't for the punters wanting to use them."
Richard Shropshire, Manager, Ledene Golf Centre, Wolverhampton
TrueStrike feels and reacts more like turf grass than any other mat I have hit off.
Patrick J. Rielly, Past President PGA of America, Palms Golf Club, La Quinta, California
"Since using the TrueStrike mat my students have enjoyed a lot more freedom in striking their iron shots. It's such a better surface to hit from than any other standard range mat; no shudders up the shaft when you've miss hit a shot. For the more experienced player you can get more feel from hitting wedge shots. Altogether the look, feel and feedback you get from a TrueStrike mat is second to none."
Jason Ripley, PGA Teaching Professional, Rother Valley Golf Club, Sheffield
"The TrueStrike mat is the finest mat I have ever hit golf balls from!!! The use of a real golf tee thats adjustable works great, unlike the rubber non-adjustable "this is the height you get just hit the ball" tees. The mat also works great its feel is unlike other artificial grass or rubber mat. The platform is very stable and secure.
Our customers are very Impressed with our TrueStrike mat!!! They never were able to hit balls from a mat that they didn't have a fear damaging their golf clubs.
We at Your Golf Connection in Palmyra, Pa. are very proud to use the TrueStrike Mat in Our Shop!!
Thanks Again For Your GREAT PRODUCT!!"

"I can hit lob and sand wedges better than on traditional mats and I like the adjustable tee options better than traditional mats. Short Irons feel great at impact. No pain in the elbows. It feels more like the fairway than any other mat I have hit off."

"Most mats are rather hard the TrueStrike mat offers a real alternative. I love hitting balls off that mat and getting a true fairway feel. A huge step forward for driving ranges and indoor teaching facilities! I recommend it very highly."
