If using this mat on textured concrete (like a driveway), will it stay in place, and will it protect your hands and clubs?

It is heavy enough to use on a concrete driveway and stay in place unless you really hit down hard on it. But it would do the same on grass. It should protect your clubs but might be a little hard on your hands, again if you strike down too hard. It really is forgiving for the most part.

I use it on smooth concrete in my garage with no problems. It is plenty thick to protect your clubs and your hands. It is holding up quite well after a full season. When it does wear out I will buy another.

Yes it will stay in place on a textured concrete surface and will protect your hands and clubs from impacting the ground. There is no high density foam underneath the turf surface so if you really mishit your club you may feel the vibration from the bad strike. Overall it is a nicely made product. I oftentimes use it in my living room laying on the wood floor without problems.

No, it slides all over. On grass you can peg it down and it will stay put. Of course it protects your hands and clubs.

I have only chipped off the mat from concrete, and it worked very well. I'm not sure about full swing though, as I was nervous I might hit with more downward force than I intended, which would hurt. I'd imagine it wouldn't be a problem though, as I've done it on gravel in my backyard with minimal sliding.

This is one substantial mat. You'll be pleasantly surprised. I think you'll be fine on concrete provided you manage to hit the mat only. I use it on decking which should be as slippery as concrete and it doesn't shift at all. I get none of the green residue on my clubs and zero feedback into my hands. If anything, the mat makes you feel a lot better than you might actually be because there is no energy lost to the ground. You'll love it.

This mat has a textured side and a smooth side. The smooth side has a slight bit of tackiness to it, so that side goes down on the surface. I've had no issues with sticking to the textured side.

If you are putting this on a tough surface (cement, woods, etc.) then you might want something to thicken the mat. If you are going on carpet (which I do), you will be okay. I like that it isn't clunky.

i currently use mine outdoors on my concrete covered patio. I it would need to be on a hard surface indoor or out. If outside a good wind will kick up the mat along with the ball return unless you use doublesided tape to keep it down. The mat also get debris stuck to it outside in the wind but a broom can take care of any stuck leaves/etc. hope this helps

it grips as well as any mat I've used. if you're going to be sweating a lot, you might want to invest in grippy socks and/or gloves.

I have never rolled my mat. But, I would think putting it out on a hot concrete surface in the sun for a while would flatten it and you wouldn't have to attach it. (We live in Texas and it gets hot.) If that doesn't work, try small c-clamps. I store my mat behind a bookcase. Linda

The mat is big, firm, and heavy enough to use outdoors but it might not be as stable on grass as it is on concrete. I don't know if it can be left out in wet weather without suffering water damage.

Yes, it helps to keep the mat in place, I've had mine for awhile now and am very happy and satisfied with it.

Yes, it should. You get a good grip and your hand doesn't slip. It seems strong enough to do the job.

I can't compare to those mats, but it is not terribly sticky in my opinion. My feet/hands slip slightly. I would classify this mat as moderately sticky.

I'm doing it on concrete, too. (In the garage). I use a yoga mat, nothing special. Love the cds!

Yes. We have a very long gravel driveway with LOTS of snow this winter. The mat has contained it well. . . .

If the jute fiber side is on the ground/floor, i think it works great. The regular mat side has plenty of grip. If you are doing yoga with the jute fiber side on-top, then it really doesnt have enough grip for you on that top jute fiber side.I feel like the jute fiber makes the mat a bit more durable, but is only good when that side is at the bottom

I used mine over concrete slab but tested them over hardwood and ceramic tile. They worked fine, no slippage. Although I can't say from personal experience, I would guess the carpet would have to be a very flat, low pile. I would also think that a workout with a lot of intense foot work might tend to separate the tiles.

I have my doubts that it would if anyone is sitting on it. It will roll well on smooth concrete like a garage floor and not as well on rough concrete like a driveway. It can easily roll away from under you when trying to sit down if a floor is slick like tile.

It should probably stay in place. Otherwise you'll have scuff marks on the walls all the time.

We used it on stamped concrete around our swimming pool. It was an excellent product! Easy to use and we have not had a problem with it being slippery! Would highly recommend...worth the price.
