    Best Indoor Turf for Home Simulator?

    I'm setting up a home simulator and am wondering what indoor turf OG members would recommend. Turf manufactured or distributed in Canada/Ontario would be preferred due to shipping and duty costs.

    I'm looking for something that replicates the spin/launch characteristics of real turf as closely as possible.

    Wear is a secondary issue.

    Thanks for any assistance that anyone can provide.

    IMO this is an important criteria but the single biggest factor you may want to consider is injury prevention. No turf will replicate 100% of thin/flush/fat shots but some mats will punish your wrists/elbows more than others. After a lot of searching I went with the Fiberbuilt grass series and have been super happy. Yes, the ball sits up on the fibers a bit but that is the trade-off for injury prevention. FB now also has a professional series which apparently is very realistic, but slightly harder on mis-hits. Edmonton company - can't go wrong IMO.

    My two cents.
