Step 1: Measure your simulator bay and choose the HotShot Mat size that fits your hitting area.

Step 2: Unpack the mat system and confirm all interlocking pieces and hitting insert slots are included.

Step 3: Lay the mat base panels flat on your floor or platform. Ensure the surface is clean and level.

Step 4: Connect the modular pieces together, aligning edges tightly for a seamless hitting surface.

Step 5: Insert your preferred hitting insert into the designated slot.

Step 6: Test the alignment and stance area for comfort and swing position.

Step 7: Secure the mat using adhesive strips or floor anchors if required.

Step 8: Power on your launch monitor and enjoy realistic practice sessions indoors.

Setup & Installation Recommendations:

1. Install on a level surface for consistent ball response.
   
   

2. For simulator setups, align the mat’s hitting insert with the centerline of your impact screen.
   
   

3. If used with Carl’s Enclosure Kit, ensure the mat edge aligns flush with your hitting area ramp.
   
   

4. For safety, leave at least 10–12 ft between tee and screen for accurate readings and reduced bounce back.
   
   

5. Clean turf regularly with a soft brush or vacuum to preserve fiber quality.
