I agree about the truestrike. They aren't that much different than hitting off a standard mat unless your divots are very shallow. Check out our proshop for a link to "The Golf Mat". Last I checked, it was cheaper than the truestrike, and it seems to be more friendly for hitting down. I've not used one, but I know Lynn and Ted used them at the Barclay's at least one year.

When I was at the PGA Show last month I saw this product and I thought it was far-and-away the best practice surface I have ever hit from. I really got excellent feedback from each shot and because it is a spring mechanism slide tray I really felt like I was taking a divot and could go to low point. The best thing is that it is portable so you can take it from range to range. Check out the website at www.fairwaypro.com .
