Just returned a competitor's mat because it came folded with a big crease down the middle that didn't go away. The other mat also left that golf mat "gunk" on the bottom of the clubs. None of those issues at all with this DURA-PRO mat! Came rolled up and laid flat almost immediately. Brushed the mat with irons and fairway woods several times and no residual on the bottom of the club whatsoever.An expected plus is all 8 pre-cut holes come fully "plugged". Each plug is a full cross-section of the mat that stays in place when moving the mat around. You just easily pull out a plug for a hole you want to use for a tee (I save the plug in the bag the ball holder came with along with the extra tees). Makes the whole mat look clean and plush.The size is just right. Plenty of room for a full driver swing. Across from straight edge to straight edge it measures 58 1/2 inches and across from point to point 63 inches. If I'm using a pre-cut hole to tee up for a driver swing, I'll feel like my right foot is starting to fall off the edge if my alignment is parallel to the edge with the tee in it. No problem, I just shift my alignment to the right and there is more than enough room for both feet. I like this because it keeps the mat from being bigger and more intrusive than it needs to be (very well thought out).Mat isn't cheap, but in this case, I'll say you get what you pay for. I can't give an informed opinion on longevity as I just got it today, but based on the eye and feel test it looks very durable (no gunk on club bottoms) and I have no doubt about the great durability feedback in other reviews. Great mat that you won't regret purchasing.
