From the info I have received, the British Medical Association have approved these mats for use because they cause less stress to the wrists and elbows, we have had many good comments from customers for this particular reason.
Thanks... that's good to know! I think many people subconsciously develop a sweeping, throwaway type of release when hitting from mats in order to avoid injury, or further aggravate an old injury.
This new mat may be the thing for forward shaft leaners, and divot takers!
