TrueStrike Academy Golf Mat: One Center Strike Section for Every Golfer
The TrueStrike Academy is the TrueStrike built for simulators and teaching. At 80 x 52 in, 2 3/8 in high and 134 lb, it places one gel strike section in the center with two range sections on each side, so left- and right-handed golfers hit every shot from wedge to driver without moving a piece.
Fairway feel from gel
Every TrueStrike is built around the same gel section: a woven strike surface, its turf woven in Germany, sits over a bag of specially formulated gel inside a molded frame. TrueStrike calls the top surface "ruckable": when the club arrives it stretches and ripples, and the head moves down into the gel the way it would take turf on a fairway, instead of bouncing off a hard pad. That produces TrueStrike's fairway forgiveness: clean strikes fly as expected, fat shots lose distance, height and accuracy, and topped shots bury. For a coach, that honest feedback is the point; for the student, the gel's shock absorption means more practice with less strain on wrists and elbows.
Ready for a simulator or a fitting bay
A centered strike section suits simulator applications that need a center hitting position. The range sections rotate in under ten seconds to move the tee into the read line of a rear-reading launch monitor, and the mat pairs with any of our launch monitors. College programs including Gonzaga, Princeton and Harvard have chosen the Academy to keep their teams sharp year-round, and it suits club fitters and country club teaching tees.
What is in the box
One gel section (gel bag, strike surface and strike surround, 52 x 14 in), four range mat sections at 52 x 15 in, two edge trims, a TrueTee holder and 25 long and 25 short tees. The TrueTee holder takes a regular tee, so every golfer sets their own height. A ball tray can replace either edge trim later.
Modular and maintainable
Sections hook together by their tabs with no tools. TrueStrike rates the strike surface at roughly 55,000 iron shots; when it wears, replace the surface or a whole TrueStrike Gel Section, which swaps in under two minutes, and the mat keeps performing at 100%. Add TrueStrike Range Mat Sections whenever you want more stance.
Indoors or out
The Academy is designed for indoor and outdoor use in all weather. Store it out of intense direct sun when not in use, as strong sun can briefly curl the range mat panels. Compare it with the off-center TrueStrike Single Golf Mat or the two-section TrueStrike Double Golf Mat, or see all our golf mats.
Allow the 80 x 52 in footprint plus room to swing on both sides; the space you need depends on your swing.
What's included
- 1 gel section (gel bag, strike surface and strike surround), 52 x 14 in, centered
- 4 range mat sections, 52 x 15 in
- 2 edge trims
- 1 TrueTee holder (tee receiver)

United StatesFantastic Product
This was my first time trying out the TrueStrike and I was pleased with the results. Enjoyed this more than the anything else I’ve used. Feels as true to a fairway off a mat than anything else I’ve ever experienced.

The true strike academy golf mat is awesome in my home golf simulator. It is a very solid Mat, easy to put together and does not move around when in use. Very satisfied with the Matt. Im disappointed in how long it took to get it deliver Ed.(over 8 weeks)

Hello Raymond, Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you enjoy your mat and hope it works out for you for a long time. These things are hard to keep in stock and they've been a hot item this year because of covid, we wish we could get them out sooner, also!
United StatesTrue Strike Academy Hitting Mat
Have used them before so I knew what I was getting. Easy to unpack and put together. It only took a few minutes and the mat was ready to use!
United States United StatesAmazing
We bought two academy mats for my son and our academy, Luke Parsons World Champion Golf Academy. I am so Mad at myself for not buying it sooner. They are unbelievable. We use Trackman in our facility and have found that the true strike mats are incredibly reliable and accurate and do replicate hitting off true grass. At our Academy we did a little study comparing a track man session off the true strike gel Mat and off the champion bermuda tee Box we have just outside the Academy. The results Including carry , roll out and spin were almost exactly the same. THANK YOU SO MUCH SHOP INDOOR GOLF. Tim and Luke Parsons

A Center Hitting Position for Simulators
In a golf simulator the hitting position has to line up with the screen, the projector and the launch monitor, and in a shared room it has to work for every golfer. The TrueStrike Academy solves both. Its single gel strike section sits in the middle of the mat, with two range sections on each side, so the ball sits on the center line whether the golfer is left- or right-handed.
The range sections also rotate in under ten seconds, moving the tee into the read line of a rear-reading launch monitor. At 80 x 52 in, the Academy gives a full stance on both sides without the extra length of a two-section mat. That is why it suits simulator bays, club fitters and teaching tees, and why college programs including Gonzaga, Princeton and Harvard use it.
Honest Feedback, Easier on the Body
A hard mat lets the club skid into the ball, so a heavy strike still looks fine on the screen. The Academy's gel section tells the truth. Its woven strike surface stretches and ripples on impact and the club moves down into a gel-filled bag, as it would take turf on a fairway. Fat shots lose distance, height and accuracy, and clean strikes fly as expected, which is exactly the feedback a coach wants a student to feel.
The gel also absorbs and disperses shock and vibration, so students can hit ball after ball without the jarring that hard mats send into wrists and elbows. TrueStrike rates the strike surface at roughly 55,000 iron shots, and only worn parts are replaced, so the mat keeps playing the same way throughout its life.
