is the pro turf a good surface for hitting down and through? Also, is the mat one that will not mask fat shots by adding bounce?

I bought our own turf. I prefer a softer surface, and likely the "fat" shots may be a bit masked, but I would rather save my joints from impact and the net return is an awesome way to practice at home. I use it daily.

The net that comes with the net is OK for chipping. If you want to hit down and thru you need a dura-pro mat. The best that money can buy.

I think its mainly for resistance exercises. No bounce to it at all. Kinda like a big hackee-sack or beanbag.Hard throws or slams would most likely shorten the life span of the med ball.

Jessica,If you haven't bought one yet, I wouldn't waste your money.I can through the ball farther than this thing shoots it - wet or dry.Judging from other answers, it looks like others do not agree and are happy - so use your best judgment.Actually, I am thinking of just using a tennis or racket ball racket - it would work better.Tom

Yes, it will be great for grass. The ball is thick and will be well protected from punctures/bursts

I haven't done yoga on the grass before and I don't feel that it would give you the stability needed for balance with or without a mat, as a flat floor surface would. The mat would offer a dry surface vs. dewy grass.

The super lug has very good traction and performs well for my usage. Price increase over 2 ply is minimal. sidewall cracking was the reason I needed new tires. I think these tires may be too aggressive for fine turf usage but are far superior in traction for wet or muddy grass

I would go for Jet-600, since it has more spin and grip to it, however you'll have to control your power shots cause it provides extra bounce. Stage Carbon Pro is good too but it doesn't offer you spin that much. Both are professional paddles.

As far as I can tell from using mine you have to hit something. You might be able to fit something other than a real ball but the capture triggers on an impact. When doing practices swings I do occasional hit the ground harder and it triggers. You might be more consistent with that than I am.

Is p9ox like burst training? I purchased this mat for my son & I can tell you that it is very adequate for hardwood floors - padding is thick and the mat stays in place. As for noise reduction (maybe in reference for the apartment below you?) I honestly don't know. I think you won't find a better mat for the price.

I love my JFIT ball. I've used it mostly in a garage so it has been slammed against the concrete floor without the typical gym padding, and the unfinished drywall. Even smacked the garage door runners/spring a couple of times-- stupid garage--and it looks like brand new. Dynamax is an excellent brand, but I'm happy with the 25lb one from jfit. Hope that helps.

Yes, same as "THE MAT" just bigger in size. If trying to use THE PRO Mat with smaller cakes sizes you will find THE PRO is too big and will hinder your ability some when covering for these small cakes. Both are great products and I fully endorse them.

I am no pro at table tennis. But after the purchase of some decent paddles, it is well worth it. The paddles came tacky on the rubbers and the dirt/dust from playing transfers from the ball to your paddle. The cleaner will restore your paddle to it's original feel. This makes your shot more reliable to spin/hit the same way all the time. Hope that helps!

Hi, I used the Champion pitch-back a few times in the park to practice my throws. It is a sturdy structure and the netting is tough. If you can throw accurately this pitch-back is pretty good and it does have a wide target. I have a wild arm so I did a lot of chasing after balls. When I did hit the target, the rebound was good. If you buy this, the main thing I recommend is to use good sized tent stakes to anchor it down. The stakes it comes with don't work that well.

The rubber allow you to create lots of spins. But the sponge and the blade do not provide good bounces to speed the ball. This is really for beginners. Unless you like a light weight racket like I do, this is not good.

I have the Black Pro and this one. I wish I bought the Lite first... almost same cushioning but a lot lighter. It does not bunch. Best mat IMO.

You just need to make contact with something (the floor, maybe a rubber tee, something like that for it to register as a hit. Although I believe if you hit the floor your numbers may be a little off. I have a little mat (like a driving range mat) with a long tee coming out of it to act as the ball and it works fine for me. Awesome little product.

I only have the 6x6, and think it very adequate for my needs. I hardly play golf and when I do I don't keep score. Seems to make my round a lot happier. I would perhaps count the number of 'good' shots as the best way to measure progress. That aside, this net is just fine for me. I usually hit around 45 balls a day into it, say 5 times a week. I've missed the net 5 times that I can remember. It's great. One of the things I got with it is the PGM3660 3' x 5' Emerald Par Golf Mat. It is very good and very substantial. So I'd recomment the smaller net, and if you start splaying shots wildly, move closer. Just a thought. Jim
