Frequently asked questions
Is the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS easy on your joints?
Yes. The thin Money Putt turf surface on the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS does not grab or decelerate the club. Club deceleration from grabby mats is what causes elbow and wrist injuries over time, so the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS lets the club keep moving through impact.
Does the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS give feedback on fat shots?
Yes. Unlike many injury prevention mats that hide poor strikes, the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS lets the club travel below the ball on a fat shot. Impact rides high on the face and carry distance usually drops by 20% or more, so you feel and see the mistake without hurting your body.
What is the difference between the Holy Grail Hitting Strip V2 and PLUS?
The only difference between the Holy Grail Hitting Strip V2 and PLUS is the internal foam, which changes the feel at impact. The V2 ($179.99) uses four thinner foam support strips edge to edge for a soft, forgiving feel. The PLUS ($199) uses 3 inch foam support strips edge to edge for a firmer, more stable, more connected feel that better replicates striking off firm turf. Both use the same Money Putt turf, give full joint protection, cut carry distance by 20% or more on fat shots, stand 1 3/8 inches tall, and come in the same three sizes.
Should I choose the Holy Grail Hitting Strip V2 or PLUS?
Choose the Holy Grail Hitting Strip V2 if you want the softest, most forgiving feel, practice in long sessions, are managing wrist or elbow sensitivity, or are a beginner. Choose the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS if you find the V2 too soft, prefer a firmer surface, or want more stability through the hitting area. The PLUS is not a hard mat and still fully protects your joints.
What sizes does the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS come in?
The Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS comes in 12" x 30", 12" x 35", and 12" x 46.5". Custom sizes are available if you already have a floor cutout or existing mat system.
How do I install the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS?
The Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS drops into putting turf raised with a 1 inch sublayer, such as Foamular or EVA foam tiles. Adhesive backed 2 inch velcro on the front and rear supports holds it in place. Cut the opening 1/4 inch wider than the strip and the same length, for example 12.25" x 30" for a 12" x 30" strip. That gives a snug fit front and back and about 1/8 inch of clearance on each long side so the strip can deflect naturally at impact.
Can I use the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS without a stance mat?
Yes. The Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS can be used directly on the floor, as long as the surface will hold the adhesive backed velcro. Bare or painted concrete works well.
Can I use the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS in a garage or outdoors?
The Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS is recommended for climate controlled indoor environments only, for the best performance and longest life.
