The Limitations of Range Mats and Grass
Range mats can give a false sense of distance and control as they provide a more supportive surface and encourage hitting fat shots for extra distance. Grass, on the other hand, offers a truer representation of distance and control, but factors like debris between the clubface and ball and variable turf conditions can affect launch, spin, and ball speed.
