Izzo Chipping and Driving Mat


... Overall I am glad that I purchased this mat however its quality is a bit overexagerated. The mats edges are just cut not sewen in anyway so they fray, also although it has a backing it is not very heavy and can bunch up when hit with a club. As I look in stores it is very similar to other mats so don't be afraid to buy it as it is a good deal when compared to others, just know what you are getting. Also it should come with more then 1 tee. ...

My wife and I both enjoy this device. It works well and does exactly what it should do. I'm very satisfied with this product, but I can't say that I'm satisfied with Amazon.com.Buy Sports Sensors Swing Speed Radar!

Dr. Gary Wiren Impact Bag Golf Impact Training Aid


This is a worthy training aid for the repetitive conditioning of ball impact, best used in front of a mirror
- Quick usage tips -
1. Use it in front of a mirror
2. Fill it with birdseed instead the recommended pillows or a bed comforter.

Like you, I've used what seems like every golf training tool and become just as frustrated and self doubting.

What I like about this tool and all training bags is one of the hardest parts of the golf swing is the motion and posture at ball impact, the:
1. Forward motion of the hips
2. Keeping your posture straight
3. Feet positioned
4. Club face square at impact
5. Swinging with those arms

This bag helps you focus on all of these points and others, when used in front of a mirror you can practice your stroke and study your posture at impact. The instructions recommend using a bed comforter or pillows to stuff inside the bag (opens with a zipper), I found this useless because the bag just moved or deformed at impact.

Using an impact bag beats trying to use a golf cart tire !Buy Dr. Gary Wiren Impact Bag Golf Impact Training Aid!

Medicus Men's Maximus Hittable Weighted Driver with Power Meter and PowerPak Kit


I've used a weighted club for the past year with dramatic results. Within the first month, I was 10-15 yards longer off the tee. Irons are affected less for distance, but I spin the ball more. A year later, I have added about 20 yards to my drives. At 61 years old, that's pretty good!Buy Medicus Men's Maximus Hittable Weighted Driver with Power Meter and PowerPak Kit!

Izzo Chipping and Driving Mat


I got the 3' by 4' mat and it's a good size: I can stand on it with my feet more than shoulder width apart and still hit off the tee with my driver.

In case you missed it (I did), the mat comes with one rubber tee, about an inch or so high. It's got two holes on two sides for the tee (so 4 holes in total).

It unrolls nice and easily and doesn't retain any curl at all from being rolled up in its box.

You should be conscious, however, of the fact that the rubber is a little thin. I'm currently playing in the backyard with hard tiles underneath the mat and if I hit it a little fat I feel those tiles. It would be preferable to have the mat on grass or a carpet or something but I don't have that option right now. In any event, it's not a fault but if you do find yourself vibrating like a cartoon character after hitting your club into the ground, don't say you weren't warned.

All in all, I'm very pleased. I've only had it for a week so no idea how long it lasts - if necessary I'll come back and write a second review on that in a year or so.

Happy golfing.Buy Izzo Chipping and Driving Mat!
