After hitting many different hitting strips and hitting mats, I may have found my new favorite. Check out this review of the Bullseye Golf Sims hitting strip!

Nice video. I've had the bullseye strip for about a year now. I think it's a perfect balance of forgiveness on the joints, yet still punishes you on distance when you hit it fat. Only minor issue I have with it is that ugly green colour... lol
Funny enough that would be my only criticism too!! Lol!! Thanks for the feedback!!
Is there a reason that you got away from using the same material for the hitting strip and a stance mat? In your other video you mentioned that it was preferred to stand and hit off the same material when you were talking about the ez tee and how that could also save wear on the more expensive putting turf. Just curious as I was looking at ordering the ez tee and some have suggested just getting the foam tiles and cutting in a hitting strip.
Great question! So, like any decision, there’s gonna be pros and cons. I chose a hitting strip because I wanted a firmer stance area. The EZT hybrid is a little spongy under foot. By cutting a hitting strip into my putting turf sitting on top of the foam tiles, I have a much firmer area on which to stand. The downside of this, is that my hitting strip, and my standing surface are not level. By using a hitting mat, you ensure that your feet and the ball are on the same level. So it’s a very personal choice, I know I went back-and-forth for a couple months before I made a decision. obviously I ended up using just a hitting strip, and at some point in the future, I may take steps to try to make it more level, but for right now it is not. Thanks for reaching out!
I'm looking to install this, or the ez tee hybrid, outside. I am planning to recess it into my sod with a sand base. Do you think that would be a problem with the foam? I know the EZ tee is commonly used for outdoor tee lines.
I honestly can’t say and don’t want to provide bad info. I would contact the manufacturers/retailers and ask them. Sorry I couldn’t be more help!!
What size is the hitting strip in the video? I am in the process of ordering my enclosure package from Rick, and I think I want to go a little bigger than the 12 X 30 that is included. Also, do you have any experience or thoughts on the turf that he includes in his packages?
I have a 1x4 hitting strip. I don’t have any experience with money putt but I have heard a lot of positive comments about the product, so I think it’s probably a safe bet. Rick has a keen eye for quality so I trust whatever products he sells because he is passionate about it. Thanks for the question!!!
awesome video! thank you! you convinced me to getting this hitting strip instead of a 5x5 hitting mat. in fact i'll probably pick up two and have two set ups and still be ahead. I want to get a 1x4 hitting strip but on their site they sell a 1x46.5". Did you get a custom made strip? I hate it when mats are shorted a couple inches and aren't true to advertised size. I also agree, i would prefer to have a firmer stance area than a hitting mat. I'm gonna give this set up a try and I'll let you know how it works out. Do you by chance have a promo or discount code for the bullseye?
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Bullseye did provide me a custom length for the review I did. It was spot on length wise. As far as discounts, Rick prices his products as low as he can and doesn’t offer discount codes, so unfortunately o don’t have one to pass on. I think you’ll be really happy with it. It has far exceeded my expectations!!
Im all about easing up on the joint pain, but which one is closer to real turf, I currently have the EZ-Tee hybrid which I love and it replaced the Fiberbuilt which was very easy on the joints, but, in my opinion, was not realistic. I had people hit a driver straight up in the air because it gave too much.
I tried to make this point during the video, but it may not have been very clear, I think both of these products are very equivalent in terms of turf interaction. They both feel really good. I wouldn’t necessarily say one has the edge or the other. I think the major separation between the two is that the bull’s-eye product is just easier on the body. Thanks for the question and for reaching out!
Is this strip comparable to the cce strip? I have a cce strip and it’s not very forgiving/ a tight feel hurts my wrists
@@josb4161 I would say it is friendlier on the body than CCE. I know of many golfers who have moved from CCe to EZ Tee Hybrid and have been very happy with the switch. Thanks for the comment!!
Hey! Great videos.
So I just went to the bullseye website and it looks like they have a new version of their hitting strip. Have you had a chance to try it out yet? I'm torn between this and the sigpro softy. Hoping to get something that is easy on the joints, but fairs well enough for realism.
It also looks like they are now selling a full 59"x59" mat, that I believe is the same thing as the new hitting strip -- but instead of a strip its the entire mat. Which I like.
Check out my most recent hitting strip review video. I tested the brand new product that bullseye is carrying, their 3D option. I really liked it.
Thanks for the detailed video. I was highly considering the EZ tee hybrid until I saw this. How does the Bullseye strip compare to the Monster Mat you recently reviewed? That's what I'm currently using and feel like it's just too firm to be realistic and have been wanting to use it as a standing mat and drop a strip inside if it. Does the ugly bullseye color match it pretty well?
The color is pretty darn similar. The feel and performance of the Bullseye is better for sure. I found the Monster to not punish fat shots enough. The Bullseye is better but maybe not quite as punishing as the EZ Tee. My biggest complaint with the Monster is the mess and thankfully the Bullseye doesn’t have any of that. Thanks for reaching out!!!
@@TheGolfNerd As usual, great video! Between all (3) options (EZ Tee, Monster, and Bullseye) - What is the most realistic in your opinion?
@@johnathonwoolsey8163 I liked the bullseye best out of those three options. I will be releasing a video in August for another product that I like even better, but I think it may be an acquired taste given how firm it is. Consider this a teaser…
Great review. How is putting off of it? Smooth, Bouncy?
I would just say OK. It does not compare at all to my putting turf in terms of a smooth putting surface, but if you were using a camera-based launch monitor then it probably wouldn’t matter that much. I would definitely not recommend this with the Mevo plus. Thanks for reaching out and asking a question!
bought the bullseye hitting strip on your recommendation received it today and I absolutely love it. Curious how your is holding up it seems indestructible new. Lies flat, Feels great much more realistic than my fiberbuilt and still no joint pain.
That’s fantastic! Glad it worked out. I’ve yet to see any signs of wear. Thanks for reaching out!!
Thanks for this video! I ended up buying on this recommendation and so far agree, really easy on the joints. I got a rawhide mat which was actually pretty great to hit off. My history of joint pain, and a lot of fat shots made me look around for hitting strip though as a precaution and glad I did. This is a really good product. I cut the raw hide mat, and stuck this in the side that was worn away, and have a great forgiving realistic hitting surface now.
I am so glad to hear this is working for you!! That joint pain is no joke and I’m still pain free even though I’ve practiced a lot! Thanks for reaching out and sharing your results!!
I have a rawhide mat too, did the bullseye hitting strip fit into the mat ?
@@ninosimoni6374 yup, but you have to cut the mat, took a bit work to get a good fit
Sorry for boarderline spamming you, but RUclips keeps suggesting new videos and your testing almost everything I’m looking at, haha! 2 questions: 1. Can you rank EZ Tee, Bullseye, and Monster Mat in order? 2. You mention Bullseye is very unique, am I correct is looks similar to Monster Mat? With shorter turf, more rigid backing, and the foam does the impact support vs the taller fluffier pile of the turf?
I like Bullseye, Ez Tee and then monster. Those would be the order for me. The Bullseye is similar to monster mat but with no mess. It is very supportive when striking. Hopefully this helps! Enjoy the videos, I hoped they might help other golfers so I’m glad to hear the RUclips recommended them!
@@TheGolfNerd Thank you for checking in. Sorry I didn’t see this video first. one more follow up, I’ll stop… I swear 😂 Im not doing a hitting strip and wiping the residue off the club doesn’t bother me. From a performance standpoint, does the Monster hold up to the Bullseye in terms of performance? Or is the Bullseye noticeably better for strikes, joints, etc? Ignoring the residue issue, does the Monster Mat leave you anything to be desired? Lots of the Monster Mat reviews feel like they are “sponsored” or press releases, so I’m leery that mat is overhyped. Context for my question, I’m doing a non permanent SIM in the garage with Spornia SP7 + Garmin. Needs to fold away between uses for parking. I know the hitting strip concept is beloved, but I’d like to start with a mat for convenience purposes
@@thegoalnet5915 I’m really sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Nested comments don’t flag my app as new comments and I didn’t see this one till today. I like the monster mat and given what you are describing, I would probably go this route, although the mess might make think Ez tee hybrid is a better option. Monster is a good product and is competitively priced, so it may be a good option. If you look in the comments, I posted a follow up video showing the mess that the mat makes. Hope this helps!!
@@TheGolfNerd all good on the delay! I know it goes. I miss some comments on my hockey reviews. The collapsing comments on RUclips don’t work perfectly… it’s in been a few weeks since my initial question. Ordered the Monster Mat because it was the least expensive and has the most generous return policy. Love hitting off it! I also don’t anticipate it to get depressions like lots of the tee line mats do over time because the top turf is short? For the first 2 weeks, no mess or residue. Then, I started getting the club residue and the flakes after shots. I suppose all “value” products have a trade off… not sure if it’s a deal breaker for me or not
@@thegoalnet5915 sounds like it’s working out! Glad to hear it!
Just ordered mine. These are much more affordable compared to other options. I hope I get relief with my fat shots, my wrists and hands are killing me! Lol.
I really hope it works out for you!!!
i have the same setup as you as far as turf and hitting strip. The easy tee strip is already higher than the sim turf around it. You said the Bullseye strip is even thicker. Wouldn't that make it a little too high and cause some issues on the course? I've only had the set up for a little over a month and the easy tee strip is already getting green stuff on my clubs which I heard you say is when it's time to replace. If it's time to replace this soon, I will definitely have to find a different brand of hitting strip.
That’s really strange. I’ve used my EZ T hybrid for quite a while and never had any issues like that. Where did you buy it from? As far as height, I’m actually considering the idea of raising my putting turf by putting an additional layer of foam pads down. However, I really believe that as golfers we have to be able to play uneven lies just because we always see it on the golf course. This might end up improving a skill that you get to take to the course this year! I guess we will both see! Thanks for reaching out and for the question!
@@TheGolfNerd I bought the whole package from the same place you did. No regrets btw, it’s been amazing. The green stuff is more like dust than a layer of that green film you get on your clubs as a driving range. Maybe the green dust is normal. It wipes off easily.
That’s still unusual. You might want to let them know. The product should last a lot longer than you are mentioning. I do not see the same thing with my products. I’d be interested in hearing more about it if you pursue the issue with SimTurf. Thanks again Mike!!
What stance mat would be similar in height to the strip?
You’d have to watch my Monster Mat video, cause I don’t remember the thickness, but I’m sure I discuss it. It is an excellent stance mat option in my mind. Just in case you are wondering, I still use the bullseye 3d. It’s my favorite mat.
How tall and wide is your screen you have from Bullseye Golf?
Mine is 8x14, but if I did it again I’d make it 8.5x14 to account for the image lost from corner protection.
Do the grommets look good after many shots into the screen? No tearing out? I’m doing some research on screens with grommets. Making sure I buy the correct one.
@@josb4161 I’ve had my sim for over a year now. The whole enclosure and screen has held up extremely well. No issues with the grommets or the screen itself. I can highly recommend the Bullseye product.
I ordered the screen from Rick @ Bullseye Golf yesterday. The price was unbeatable and I got a custom screen with flaps for the top and 2 for the sides. The bottom has a shock cord so the pipe gets moved back about a few feet. I used Golf Nerd as a reference. Enjoying your knowledge / experience / videos. 👍👍👍👍
@@josb4161 thank you so much! I hope it works perfectly in your situation!
Does it grab the club. Thats what I hate the most
This one didn’t but it is no longer in production. I hate this feeling as well and have moved to the Bullseye 3d product. It has exceptional feel but it is firm, but zero grabbiness. Might give that review a look from last summer.
So harder on the joints than fiberbuilt?
I wouldn’t say that. I’ve been using it since posting and still no joint issues at all. I certainly like it much better than the Fiberbuilt grass series I tested. Feels much more realistic. Thanks for the question!!
Are you still happy with the Bullseye hitting strip?
They don’t manufacture this option any longer but I still use the bullseye 3d which is my personal favorite out of everything I’ve tried.
nice setup. very nice 👌
i Envy you
Thank you very much! It was a long time coming!
@@TheGolfNerd How much better did your game get because you have this great GS setup at home with all the data feedback?
@@dsr117 it’s definitely helped. Hard to quantify as I don’t keep a hc but my very first round of the year I shot 3 over and that is consistent with my scores on the sim. Lessons are helping as well though!!

Got an early on this one!
