SIGPRO Softy Hitting Strip Review: Is It the Best Golf Simulator Turf?
Quick summary· AI-generated
The author reviews the SIGPRO Softy as a premium hitting strip designed to feel like real grass fairway turf while reducing joint strain. Based on 3 years of personal use with heavy sim golf play, the strip demonstrates excellent durability—lasting an estimated 15,000–20,000 shots before significant wear—and is presented as worth the premium price compared to lower-cost alternatives. The review discusses how the Softy's replaceable-strip design allows users to swap just the hitting surface rather than an entire mat, and pairs well with durable base mats like Shop Indoor Golf's 4×7' and 4'×10' options.

Introduction | The Importance Of A Quality Hitting Strip
The quality of your hitting surface (or hitting strip) is probably more important than you might think. A poor hitting area can lead to inconsistent feedback, unrealistic ball flights, but most importantly, it can lead to elbow or wrist pain.
When we wrote our premier article for building a golf simulator, we tried to focus on areas where you can spend up and areas where we can elect to save money.

The fact that it’s hard to tell how worn it is, is a testament to the durability of these hitting strips.
SIGPRO Softy Golf Mat
To go farther with that idea, I think it really pairs nicely with the 4×7′ indoor golf mat or the 4’x10′ dual sided mat from Shop Indoor Golf. These are the best golf mats for your golf simulator and are extremely durable if you’re considering buying the Softy hitting strip. In fact, they’ve held up well against…
