Amazon.com Product Description
Practice all your shots in a variety of lies with the SKLZ Rick Smith Launch Pad all-purpose hitting mat. The mat offers several hitting surfaces: a trio of tees for hitting with oversized drivers, fairway woods, or irons, a fairway surface that simulates the feel of short grass, and a rough surface that mimics the conditions of swinging through a tough lie.


The Launch Pad offers 3 tees for drivers, woods, and irons.


Includes rough surface for practicing a tough lie.
As a result, you can practice your drives, iron shots, and short game just about anywhere, provided you have enough room to swing a club. The heavy-duty, non-slip rubber mat measures 1 by 2 feet, with a realistic grass surface that simulates a genuine golf course feel.

1 out of 5 stars falls apart - NO STARS- no option for that   August 30, 2008

2 out of 5 stars Not durable...   May 31, 2008
  5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I purchased the Launch Pad last week and the first time I took it out to use it the grass, from the impact of the club, alread began to seperate. The grass mats are only very lightly gluded to the rubber mat and should have been threaded into the mat to make it more durable. I did like the two levels of turf to hit from but the mat is poorly made.
