I have had an AcuStrike brand felt mat since 2019 and it has helped my golf more than any other golf gizmo I have tried, hands down. It is a superb training tool.
I was looking for a second unit and first opted to try one of the mats with the “flipping sequins” technology instead of the felt. Bad choice on my part. With the sequins you must strike quite hard and the patterns don’t always reflect accurately what the sole of the club is doing at and after impact w ball.
So I then tried this mat. Three mats for really great price. Could it be comparable to the AcuStrike? Short answer is emphatic yes
The nap on the AcuStrike is more luxurious, meaning the fibers are finer in diameter and the fiber count is higher per unit area. It is more plush, like a Korean “mink” fleece blanket, while this felt is tighter, more like pool table felt but a tad longer. In practice this means that you can see the strike pattern a bit more vividly w the AcuStrike. That said, I cannot find anything missing or inaccurate with this mat in a head to head comparison, either with range balls or with the Callaway foam balls.
I can’t tell how long this mat will last, but indications are that its shorter stiffer nap will translate to good longevity. Plus, I have 3 of these mats for less than half the price of the AcuStrike
I also like the heavy rubber base/frame of this mat. It does not alter ball height to any significant degree. The AcuStrike has a slick bottom that allows it to slide around unless it is tacked at corners w golf tees. Not practical indoors
