Product Installation Guide

Setup & Installation Recommendations

1. Install on a level surface for consistent ball response.
   
   • Uneven flooring may affect mat fitment and stance stability.
2. For simulator setups, align the mat’s hitting insert with the centerline of your impact screen.
   
   • This helps create a cleaner target line and simulator layout.
3. If used with a Carl’s Enclosure Kit, ensure the mat edge aligns flush with your hitting area ramp.
   
   • This helps create a smoother transition from mat to enclosure area.
4. For safety, leave at least 10–12 ft between tee and screen.
   
   • This supports accurate readings and helps reduce bounce-back risk.
5. Clean turf regularly with a soft brush or vacuum.
   
   • This helps preserve fiber quality and keeps the mat looking cleaner over time.
