Fiberbuilt Flight Deck Golf Hitting Mat
The Fiberbuilt Flight Deck is positioned as the best-in-class shock absorbent rubber backed hitting mat thanks to its premium construction and long-lived hitting surface that prioritizes consistent turf interaction and impact protection.

TrueStrike Golf Mat
TrueStrike occupies the market-leader role for realistic ball-strike feel among shock absorbent rubber backed hitting mats by using a specialized insert that closely mimics turf compression and reduces shock to the wrists and joints. Technically it often outperforms standard foam mats on impact fidelity and feedback—making it a favorite for serious practice—although its specialized construction can cost as much as premium alternatives like Fiberbuilt. For players prioritizing authentic turf response over simple durability, TrueStrike provides the clearest technical advantage in the group.
