Just wanted to drop in and say that I've watched a ton of your videos over the last year and your video quality and on camera presence has improved 1000%. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much. It’s funny, I’m focused more on making better video than on the product itself!! My goal is to make every video better than the last one. Anyway, thanks for sharing this with me on my one year anniversary!!
I bought this 3d mat. Been using it for about 2 weeks now. Lays flat and doesn’t hurt hands or wrists. More accurate readings vs Divot strip I’ve been using. Great purchase from Bullseye Golf. Thanks for your video…
Great video. I like how u present the products in review. Very informative. Keep up the great work. Also, please note that the bullseye website doesn't have the 3d mat you showcase on your video, the one they advertise is a soft version similar to the fiberbuild grass version
I got an early sample. I believe it will be added shortly. I have not tested that other product. Thanks for the great comment! Glad you enjoy the videos!!
Great review. I ordered a 3d 12x30 hitting strip on your recommendation.. Rick at Bullseye highly recommended this mat if your sim is used everyday. This mat will be replacing my Carls Place hitting strip which is wearing out in the hitting area. It has a belly or worn spot and the ball moves to much.Hopefully this gives great relief from tendinitis…
Aloha Golf Nerd, I just ordered the 3D mat from Bullseye (in Canada). When ordering online, I mentioned that I heard about the mat from you. Can't wait to try it out. I'm using Carl's Place Hot Shot 1.75" thick mat, but I found their hitting strip to be a little grabby. The Bullseye 3D mat is 1.5" like you said but I can find something to get it to the right height. The main thing was I needed the 12" x 30" size! Thanks for the review!!
Well thank you very much for mentioning me to Bullseye! That’s very considerate. Really hope the hitting strip meets your needs. I still use and love mine. I personally think it’s the best option available, or at least of the ones I’ve tried.
Hi Mike! Truly appreciate all your helpful video reviews! I just messaged you on FB messenger on a question concerning the depth of this strip and me wanting to install it into my CCE mat and what all that entails. Thanks
Just wondering, have you ever tried a divot action strip? The gungho or a homemade one? I’d be curious how they compare. I assumed the soft strike strip would be the thing for me, but it grabbed the face of my club too much and it’s a little jarring. So I’m trying to decide between this and making my own divot action.
I’m sorry I can’t comment on the divot evasion. As I’ve never hit one.. what I’ve heard from other golfers is they work well but have a tendency to wear out a little faster. Thanks for reaching out!! Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!!
Great video! What mat are you standing on and do you have a pad underneath it? Where did you purchase it? Did you cut out a section of this mat to fit the hitting strip? Does the strip move when hitting shots? Any thoughts on using a strip vs a full mat that you can stand on as well as hit off? How do you putt? Do you have to move your simulator when you want to putt? Sorry for all the questions. I have a nice hitting screen so my next step is the mat.
Man, that’s a lot of questions! Lol!! You can find most of this material in other videos that I have posted if you want more details. I have 5/8 inch thick EVA foam underneath NP 45 putting turf this is available through simturf.com. I did cut a section out for the hitting strip. You can find a specific video showing how I did this. The hitting strip does not move around while I’m using the sim. I use a Mevo plus as my launch monitor and putt slightly closer and off to the right hand side of the hitting strip. This has proven to be the most successful method. I do not have to move my simulator or launch monitor when I am putting this is one of the nice things about the Mevo plus. Hope this helps, thanks for reaching out!
@@jerrywbissey1797 first off I’m sorry I missed the question! Second, I really like the 3d option. I haven’t gotten tendonitis from using it and I really like the feel. It’s miles better that ez tee hybrid, but that’s my preference and yours may vary. Not trying to cover my butt, but these feelings can be very personal. Regardless, it’s great for joint health. Mike
I’m trying to decide between this and the sigpro softy strip. I believe you’ve hit both, could you tell me how they compare? Which one is easier on joints?
I haven’t hit the Sigpro softy. This product is the same as the Sigpro 3D. I really like this product but cannot draw comparisons to the softy. I will say that the Sigpro line is quite thick and won’t accommodate typical turf thicknesses. Sorry I couldn’t be more help!!
I have an issue with golfer's elbow. Do you think the Soft Strike is easier on the joints than the 3D? The 3D with the shock absorber "looks" like it will be more forgiving. This will be attempt #5 on a hitting mat. Thanks.
I am also very prone to tendonitis, the 3D has been the best product for me, as the club heads really seems to glide through impact. I can’t guarantee it’ll work for you but I’ve enjoyed it. Hope that helps!
The sales rep just e-mailed a similar response. The phrasing of the Soft-Strike and the wording on their website is a little confusing to which is more "forgiving." Thanks for your quick response! @@TheGolfNerd
I'm researching hitting mats and found you on reddit thankfully. Originally i was thinking of going with the ez tee not wanting to pay fiberbuilt prices. After watching your video and reading through comment im going with the 3D hitting strip. Is that what your current favorite strip is? Any other thoughts before purchasing?
It is my favorite. Club really seems to glide through although it is firm. So it may be a personal preference. Having said that it’s my favorite mat I’ve tested to date. Hope it all works out!
how does this handle short chip shots? I have heard that some mats the ball sits up almost as if it is teed up slightly. Thus making chips feel strange due to the club not sliding across the ground as it would out on the course. Thanks for the info!!
I really like the way this hitting strip feels with irons. It’s by far my favorite surface for full shots and pitches/chips. My only hesitation is how firm it is, I really like the feel but as I discussed on the video, some folks may prefer something softer. To me the club just glides through, which I really like.
When will you do the follow up video for Monster Mat? Curious but if the residues really go away and if you had any aches or pains (injury) from using it?
If you look at the description on the Monster Mat video, I linked to a brief follow up on the mat after using for awhile. There’s some history here and as a result I didn’t post it directly to RUclips. Thanks for reaching out!!!
Love the videos! Working on building my mat with a hitting insert. After a few more months of use, do you still recommend the 3D hitting strip? I like the sound of the Bullseye 3D hitting strip over the SIGPRO Softy simply for the sizing differences.
I love it, but it is a little firm. Oddly enough, it seems to be the easiest on my body. Out of everything I’ve tested it’s still my favorite. Glad you’re enjoying the videos!!
@@TheGolfNerdGreat videos as usual. I’ve started to have some pains with the EZ Tee Hybrid. Did you notice any pains from the EZT as well & is the 3D softer on the body vs. the EZT?
@@johnathonwoolsey8163 I think it is. In fact, I’d say the original bullseye hitting strip, the neon green one, is also easier on the body. I honestly think the EZ Tee Hybrid is middle of the pack, and that there are certainly better options for avoiding tendonitis. Thanks for the question! Happy New Year!!!
Hi, complete beginner here but still want to set up reasonable quality setup in backyardd. Would you be make video or recommendations on setting up outdoor net with the 3d mat (since I some you like it better than the ez-tee!) ie what size mat, use strip? Thanks
Hi Mike, I have been playing with an EZ-tee Hybrid strip after going cheap at first with a GoSports that destroyed my elbow. I have been better since, but still on and off feeling pain, probably because I practice a lot. I was considering the grass option of Fiberbuilt, even though they refuse to sell their 1x4 strip and even with everyone saying that it is unrealistic... So, for someone desperate to stop taking a toll on his body, what is the second most forgiving strip you would suggest?
When you say second most forgiving, I’m not sure which product you are suggesting is at the top of the list! Anyway, I think the original lime green bullseye mat works very well and I never had any pains from it. Having said that, I’m not sure if he is going to continue to offer it. The product featured in this video is also very good and never caused me any pain. The only reason I moved from the lime green bullseye to this is I honestly like the feel of this better. However, Rick at Bullseye said he thought this product was too firm. So there’s some preference issues coming into play. I am not a big fan of Fiberbuilt. I feel like their products are overly expensive and I really did not like their grass series. So those would be my thoughts. Hope you found this helpful and if I can help further, please let me know!! Mike
I just talked with Rick and he said he is going to continue to offer the original hitting strip. Here’s a link. bullseyegolfsims.com/us/product/bullseye-hitting-strip/
I prefer the Bullseye 3D, but you may want to watch my video because it may not be for everyone. Having said that, it’s much less money for the Sigpro. I think the Sigpro is better at injury prevention, so if that’s your priority, then it would be my first choice. Hope that helps!
If I have the 4 x 9 foot holy grail mat will this hitting strip fit into it. I know I would need the 12 x 30 inch strip but wonder if the height will be the same...
I looked at gung ho’s website and don’t see the thickness mentioned. If you can measure your mat height, I can tell you if one of these thickness options would work.
@@johnkraus5454 The Bullseye 3D will be as close to perfect as you are gonna get with that overall height. I think it’ll work well. Please let me know if you think it’s too firm? I really like it, but I’m concerned I have a bizarre taste!!

@@TheGolfNerd Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for all the questions!
For mat, would you recommwnd the bullseye champion, soft strike or 3D hitting mat as all around general hiring mat? Thanks!
I’d recommend the 3D Mat, you might like the increased foam on the bottom of the Indoor Golf version for a slightly softer feel.
@@TheGolfNerd which Bullseye hitting strip is best for both realistic feel and joint tradeoff?

You mention you use Kirkland rct golf balls , how do you like them and where do get them and $ . I don't see them at Costco ?
I appreciate the question but Kirkland doesn’t offer an RCT ball. I may not have spoken very clearly. Sorry for the confusion!!
Are you still using the EZ Tee Hybrid as your primary hitting strip or have moved off it?
I moved from that to the Original Bullseye, and then most recently have moved to this 3D mat.
How do you compare Bullseye to SigPro Softy?
