SIGPRO Softy LITE Hitting Strip

Introducing the SIGPRO Softy LITE Hitting Strip

The SIGPRO Softy LITE Hitting Strip, from Shop Indoor Golf's SIGPRO line, offers a refined hitting surface for golf simulator enthusiasts. This hitting strip is specifically engineered with a lower profile, making it an excellent choice for those undertaking a DIY golf simulator build where the hitting surface integrates seamlessly into custom flooring. Its reduced height means less subfloor material is required, which can lead to both cost savings and increased ceiling clearance in your golf simulator space.

Measuring 28 inches long by 12 inches wide, the Softy LITE stands at 1 1/4 inches high (with a tolerance of ± 1/8 inch). This design maintains the signature soft-foam core found in other SIGPRO hitting strips, providing a forgiving feel that is gentle on your joints, as noted by users like Calvin D., who found it a great mat that was very forgiving on the joints. This product is a thoughtful alternative to other 'elite' brands that can be punishing on the back, neck, and joints.

Key Differences from the Standard Softy

While sharing the same comfortable soft-foam construction, the SIGPRO Softy LITE distinguishes itself from the standard SIGPRO Softy hitting strip through two primary characteristics. Firstly, it features a thinner overall design, which is ideal for integration into custom golf mats or flooring setups. This thinner profile simplifies installation for those looking to create a flush hitting area within their golf simulator room.

Secondly, the top surface of the Softy LITE is crafted from a premium putting turf. This specific turf type, while excellent for ball striking, is not designed to accommodate a real golf tee. In contrast, the standard SIGPRO Softy hitting strip incorporates 1-inch Teeline turf, which is specifically engineered to allow the use of real golf tees. This distinction is important for golfers who prefer to tee up their shots directly into the hitting surface.
