I have a standard mat in the garage. I think as long as you are aware of the possible problems you should be ok.
I have a truestrike and although it is well designed and made I would not recommend it for TGM folks (who hit down and take divots). Depsite what they claim there is considerable impact shock. I am looking for an alternative mat with far less impact shock. Fiberbuilt is pretty good but searching for others.

I agree about the truestrike. They aren't that much different than hitting off a standard mat unless your divots are very shallow. Check out our proshop for a link to "The Golf Mat". Last I checked, it was cheaper than the truestrike, and it seems to be more friendly for hitting down. I've not used one, but I know Lynn and Ted used them at the Barclay's at least one year.

When I was at the PGA Show last month I saw this product and I thought it was far-and-away the best practice surface I have ever hit from. I really got excellent feedback from each shot and because it is a spring mechanism slide tray I really felt like I was taking a divot and could go to low point. The best thing is that it is portable so you can take it from range to range. Check out the website at www.fairwaypro.com .

Interesting product unfortunately not available until April?
I also hate mats but I live in the Chicago area so from December to March/April what choice do you have. The domes here charge you by the time not the number of balls you hit so I find them great for working on basic and acquired motion.
