GoSports Elite Golf Hitting Mat 5'x5'
GoSports Elite Golf Hitting Mat — 5'x5'
The GoSports Elite 5'x5' is a commercial-grade hitting mat sized to cover the full strike zone of a home golf simulator bay, with both right- and left-handed teeing positions on a single surface. The 15mm non-slip foam backing protects wrists and joints from concrete or hardwood underneath, while the high-density synthetic turf is rated for approximately 150,000 shots — the upper end of residential hitting mat lifespan.
For home sim builders, the 5'x5' footprint solves the problem of mats that are too small: it gives you a forgiving margin around the ball so fat shots still strike turf instead of the floor, and accommodates wedges through driver from either side without repositioning.

Where The Elite 5'x5' Lives
The 5'x5' size is the strike-zone mat for a home golf simulator bay — placed in the center of your floor turf with cables routed underneath, it gives you a forgiving margin so off-center strikes still hit turf instead of bare floor. The 6 teeing positions mean both right- and left-handed golfers can share the same setup without flipping the mat, and the 15mm foam backing cushions wrist and elbow impact on the concrete or hardwood underneath. The Elite tier (150,000-shot rating) is the pick for golfers who practice daily or share a sim bay with multiple users — the PRO 5'x5' (75,000 shots) is the lighter-use sibling. For drills focused on lies and swing path feedback rather than full-bay coverage, the PRO Practice 5'x4' uses interchangeable inserts instead of a single turf surface.
