Why Golf Mats Lie to Your Simulator (And How Fiberbuilt Fixed It) | PGA Show 2026

Описание: At the 2026 PGA Show, I stopped by the Fiberbuilt booth and spent time with Scott, who helped design what I believe is the most premium golf simulator mat on the market — the Fiberbuilt Player Preferred Series.

This mat wasn’t designed for looks.
It was designed to solve a real problem in simulator golf: inaccurate ball flight and unnecessary joint stress.

Scott explains how, while testing his own simulator, he noticed that shots hit off most mats produced different numbers than real grass — lower club speed, higher spin, inconsistent launch, and misleading smash factor. So Fiberbuilt went to work.

In this video, we cover:

Why many golf mats produce false simulator numbers

What happens when mats are too hard or too soft

How Fiberbuilt used high-speed cameras to study impact

Why the Player Preferred Series was built specifically for simulator use

How the mat delivers real fairway-like ball flight

Why it absorbs up to 97% of vibration to protect your joints

Why you don’t have to change your swing to “make the numbers work”

What makes the Player Preferred different:

Solid rubber foundation for structure and stability

Ultra-thin turf to reduce club/turf interference

Vibration-dampening layer beneath the hitting surface

Interchangeable hitting strip rated for 60–80,000 shots

Left- and right-handed friendly

Custom sizing and layout options

Integrated putting surface with optional cups

This is the mat used by elite golfers and top country clubs because it delivers accurate feedback without beating up your body.
