Abstract
A golf swing practice mat including a ball practice area and a resistance area is disclosed to provide a physical resistance to the club head at the time of ball impact and through the follow through. In one embodiment, the golf mat comprises a generally rectangular rubber base and a simulated grass material overlying the rubber base. The simulated grass upper layer may be a typical fairway length simulated grass. The mat has a central ball placement area which may include a tee and a resistance area in front of the ball placement area, i.e. in the follow-through area immediately after striking the ball. The spacing of the resistance area from the ball placement area, and or tee may be variable.
Claims18
A golf swing practice mat comprising,
- a ball placement area having a top surface at least partially covered in artificial turf;
- and
- a resistance area disposed adjacent to the ball placement area having a top surface covering a first area with artificial turf and a second area having a plurality of resistance fingers extending upward from the top surface a greater distance than the artificial turf;
- wherein the top surface of the ball placement area is substantially co-planar with the top surface of the resistance area.
A golf swing practice mat comprising,
- a frame including
- a proximal ball placement area having a top surface at least partially covered in artificial turf;
- a distal recess area having two rails extending longitudinally from a proximal end, proximate to the ball placement area, to a distal end;
- and
- a resistance mat slidably disposed in the distal recess, the resistance mat having a top surface at least partially covered with artificial turf and including a plurality of resistance fingers extending upward from the top surface of the resistance mat,
- wherein a top surface of the proximal ball placement area and the top surface of the resistance mat are co-planar, and
- wherein the resistance mat is configured to slide within the recess along the rails.
