Ben Doyle's Golf Mat
Can anyone comment on the usefullness of Ben Doyle's Golf Mat? It looks loaded with information but for $300 is pricey. A buddy and I are thinking of splitting the costs but I thought I would get some info first...thanks.

Here is the link...

Don't have one but....
Highly recommended by those that have one. The price has kept me from getting one but I suspect it will have all the lines on the ground for you to reference on set up and delivery. I just don't have a spare $300.00 to see for sure.

Does it still say the Wedges are at 98 degrees? I noticed that on one I saw hanging on a wall.

This mistake resulted from a printer's typographical error in The Glossary of the 6th edition.

Oh . . . I thought it had something to do with "boy bands."

One of the things I noticed when I saw the mat the first time is how the Ball is drawn at Low Point, rather than before it. It would've been a great way to teach the student about the inside-out Impact but inside-in Stroke. And also driving down and out to all the way to Low Point. Surely that's a one of the most important concepts presented in The Golfing Machine, and deserves to be incorporated into Ben's Mat.

It is a great aid for Swinging but not geared up for Hitting.
