Holy Grail Hitting Strip V2 vs PLUS: Which Golf Simulator Hitting Strip Is Right for You?

The Holy Grail Hitting Strip V2 ($179.99) and the Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS ($199.00) are both premium golf simulator hitting strips built on the same Money Putt turf surface with the same realistic ball flight feedback and joint protection. The single deciding difference is feel at impact: the V2 delivers a softer, more forgiving surface while the PLUS uses 3 inch foam support strips for a firmer, more connected feel that still protects your joints.

What Is the Holy Grail Hitting Strip?

The Holy Grail Hitting Strip is a purpose built golf simulator hitting insert manufactured by Gungho Golf and designed to sit flush within a putting turf surface at a height of 1 3/8 inches. It is constructed with a Money Putt turf face layer over an internal foam support system and secured in place with adhesive backed Velcro on the front and rear supports.

Both versions are available in three sizes — 12x30, 12x35, and 12x46.5 — are in stock, and ship in 1 to 2 days.

This design replaced the original three 1 inch strips to eliminate soft spots near the edges and deliver consistent feel across the entire surface. The result is a soft, joint friendly feel that the Holy Grail lineup has always been known for. Golfers who want a forgiving surface for long practice sessions, or who are managing wrist or elbow sensitivity, will prefer the V2.

The Holy Grail Hitting Strip PLUS uses 3 inch foam support strips running edge to edge, which creates a firmer, more stable, more connected feel at impact. The PLUS is not a hard mat. It still maintains full injury protection and allows natural club movement through the hitting zone, but it delivers a more grounded, solid sensation at impact that better replicates the feel of striking off firm turf.
