What the video covers
Jay shows the details of the Soft Strike, the mat in use in the Golf Simulator Videos studio when he made the video. What he points out:
- Construction: a spring-loaded mat with a foam bottom.
- Feel: Jay describes it as forgiving on the elbows and wrists.
- Durability: he describes it as very durable, made for long-lasting wear.
Jay's view at the time: of all the golf mats he had used, the Soft Strike was the one he rated highest.
