The mat works exactly as described. I have had this for about two months. Appears to be durable - I have hit a few hundred shots, and no tearing. Also, I leave it out in the sun, and no fading, yet. It is thick enough that when I hit the ball fat, I feel the mishit, but the mat does absorb some of the impact.Plenty big enough to hit shots using my wedge up to my driver, but you have to stand beside it, not on it. Hence I have to chock up slightly on the club, as the height of the ball is raised the height of the mat. I am okay with this as a large mat would have been more expensive and much harder to move. I have a dog, and if I left something like this out in my backyard, she most likely would have chewed it. So once I am done using my net and mat, both go away. The small size of the mat facilitates portability.I would buy again.
