Replace the Strip, Not the Mat
Carl's HotShot Hitting Strips
When your hitting zone starts to wear out, there's no need to buy a whole new mat. Cut out the worn section and drop in a fresh Carl's HotShot Hitting Strip to bring your simulator back to like-new. Made in the USA by Carl's Place, these strips fit Carl's HotShot Hitting Mats and work with most golf simulator mats and raised flooring systems that are about 1.75" tall.
Watch our Carl's HotShot review to see how they feel and hold up.
Choose Your Strip
Standard Insert: a durable, budget-friendly replacement for everyday practice.
Foam Divot Strip: a foam base that lets the club dig in a little, for a softer, more forgiving feel at impact.
Gel Divot Strip: Carl's premium gel base, built for the most realistic, joint-friendly feel when you hit down on the ball.
Build a Complete Sim Floor
Pair your hitting strip with Carl's Golf Room Floor Tiles and Money Putt Turf for a clean, seamless mat-to-turf setup. See how it all goes together in our DIY Golf Sim Guide or our YouTube walkthrough.

Reviews
The gel hitting strip is very realistic on fat shots. It is very, very firm so if you have joint issues, you might like the foam insert better.
