In new reviews at company's website, two top teaching professionals detail the advantages of Country Club Elite practice mats and more, J.R. Mats reports

West Chester, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2015 -- J.R. Mats Inc. announced that the company's industry-leading products recently received highly favorable, in-depth reviews from two of golf's top teaching professionals. In a new video feature hosted in the Golf Mat Reviews section at http://www.RealFeelGolfmats.com , renowned teacher Mike Bender delves into the many advantages of the company's natural-feeling Country Club Elite® Golf Mats, a product introduced in 2005 that has gone on to transform the industry. In another new review there, Steve Dresser, a teaching professional counted by Gold Magazine among the top 25 in the country, has further praise for J.R. Mats' products, noting that they see intensive, daily use at his world-famous golf academy.

"Ever since we introduced our Country Club Elite mats a decade ago," J.R. Mats founder Jay R. McGrath observed, "Knowledge about what J.R. Mats has to offer has been spreading through the sport. We're happy to announce that both Mike Bender and Steve Dresser have added to this consensus, pointing out the value in our products in some recent reviews that we just published at our website."

A typical, 18-hole round of golf might take four or more hours, over the course of which the average golfer would swing the club around 100 times. On the practice range, on the other hand, a golfer can take that many strokes in half an hour or less, making this a far more productive way of working on the swing.

While both indoor and outdoor ranges have traditionally been attractive for this reason, they were also typically unsatisfying in some important ways. Prime among these was that practicing at them generally meant striking the ball from crude, unyielding mats made from artificial grass, a material that barely resembles the real thing.

Pointedly aware of this problem, J.R. Mats founder McGrath introduced the Country Club Elite golf mat in 2005, aiming to transform the way that golfers refine their skills. With an exclusive, proprietary construction that closely resembles natural turf, the mats allow golfers to practice their swings in much more natural ways. Unlike common golf mats, the Country Club Elite allows for the steeply descending swings that are important for strong short-iron play, for example. The mats also accept the kinds of tees that golfers regularly use when driving, instead of forcing them to settle for unrealistic, fixed-height rubber columns as other mats do.

Since the launch of the Country Club Elite model, J.R. Mats has continued to introduce innovative, uncompromising products that afford golfers much more natural and rewarding practice experiences. The company's new Tuff-Shot Trainer™, for example, combines the satisfying feel of the Country Club Elite with a fully adjustable, inclining platform that allows golfers to practice shots from difficult side-hill, uphill, and downhill lies.

Leading teaching professionals Mike Bender and Steve Dresser highlight these advantages and more in special new reviews at the J.R. Mats website. In addition to providing invaluable service at their golf academies, J.R. Mats products are also used at many other top golf schools, including the Brian Manzella Golf Academy, the David Toms Academy, and the Shawn Clement school.

John Cook on Morning Drive and Michael Breed on Golf Fix showed how company's unique Tuff-Shot Trainer enables convenient, adjustable golf practice from difficult, uneven lies, J.R. Mats reports

West Chester, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2015 -- J.R. Mats Inc. announced that the company's revolutionary new Tuff-Shot Trainer™ uneven lie practice station was featured on two popular Golf Channel programs recently. In an appearance on the Golf Channel's Morning Drive program, professional golfer and former Ryder Cup team member John Cook used the Tuff-Shot Trainer to show viewers how to attack the uneven lies typical of Augusta National's 13th and other holes.

Later, on the Golf Channel's Golf Fix, world-renowned golf teacher Michael Breed used the J.R. Mats Tuff-Shot Trainer to give viewers helpful advice about hitting the ball from the kinds of downhill-sloping lies that are also common at Augusta. These two prominent appearances provide a great look at how the innovative Tuff-Shot Trainer can make it far easier and more productive than ever before to practice some of the game's most difficult shots.

"For many years, golfers have struggled with how best to practice from the uneven lies that are so challenging and important when it comes to scoring," J.R. Mats founder Jay R. McGrath noted, "With our new Tuff-Shot Trainer uneven-lie training platform, those troubles come to an end. Easily adjustable and spacious enough to swing any club on, the Tuff-Shot Trainer makes practicing uneven lies a breeze, as John Cook and Michael Breed showed recently on the Golf Channel."

Although the manicured tee areas that golfers hit their drives from are typically kept as flat and even as possible, much of the rest of the game is played on less regular and reliable surfaces. Golfers who find themselves in the rough, in particular, often deal with sloping surfaces in addition to the longer grass they find there. Compared to the flat, even expanses that most practice traditionally takes place on, these situations can be extremely challenging.

Even golf fairways can sometimes be demanding in this way. Regarded by many as one of the most distinctive courses of all, Georgia's Augusta National plays host to one of golf's most prestigious tournaments in the form of the annual Masters, the 79th iteration of which concluded on April 12th. Lacking somewhat in terms of length and punishing hazards compared to some other well-known courses, Augusta National frequently offers up challenges of a subtler sort.

Some of the best-known of these are the downhill and side-hill lies that are so common even on the fairways of holes like the second, 9th, 13th, and 15th. Whether for professional golfers or amateurs looking to improve, practicing the shots needed in such situations has formerly been difficult to arrange for.

With the introduction of J.R. Mats' Tuff Shot Trainer - New Adjustable Uneven Lie Golf Training Aid , that has changed overnight. Topped with a yielding, natural-feeling surface that closely mimics real golf conditions, the five-foot square platform can be adjusted to recreate virtually any kind of uneven lie that golfers might wish to practice. As Golf Channel experts John Cook and Michael Breed showed clearly on television, the Tuff-Shot Trainer makes it extremely easy to work on these most difficult of shots, even allowing for the easy recreation of situations encountered at world-class courses like Augusta National.

That product joins what is now a long line of similarly impressive and innovative J.R. Mats stable-mates. First introduced in 2005 in the form of the Country Club Elite model, the company's Real Feel Golf Mats have revolutionized golf practice for many, offering up a far more realistic experience and now being featured at many of the world's top golf schools. Just as with the company's Golf Practice Mats, then, the impressive new Tuff-Shot Trainer is already proving to be an extremely valuable practice aid, whether on the Golf Channel or anywhere else golfers look to improve.

Successful appearance at recent PGA show helped to further spread word about company's innovative, no-compromise Real Feel Golf Mats and other golf practice products, J.R. Mats reports

West Chester, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/11/2015 -- Coming off a successful showing at the 2015 PGA Merchandise show in Orlando in January, J.R. Mats Inc. would like to thank visitors to the company's booth there. The annual PGA Merchandise show helps to put a spotlight on some of the most innovative and worthwhile products in the world of golf, making J.R. Mats' natural-feeling Country Club Elite golf mats and other products a perfect fit. Having held down booth #1952 from January 21 through 23, J.R. Mats representatives were happy and excited to show off the company's compelling products to impressed crowds throughout the show's run.

"The PGA Merchandise show was as exciting and rewarding as we had hoped it would be, and we are thrilled to report that attendees were truly impressed by our Country Club Elite® Real Feel Golf Mat™ and other products," J.R. Mats founder Jay R. McGrath stated, "Being able to demonstrate these products we are so passionate about was a great opportunity, and we would like to thank everyone who came by our booth for a look."

Sprawling over an average of 150 acres of land, normally around half of which is actively maintained turf, the typical golf course is impressively resilient to the wear and stress it experiences from normal play. Because the average course is so large, it has plenty of time to naturally repair and recover from the scattered divots and marks that golfers inevitably leave behind.

That is not the case with practice ranges, where golfers crowd into relatively confined areas to hit many balls consecutively. Because of this, most ranges have traditionally been equipped with practice mats made from artificial grass, instead of the real thing. While this allows for consistent, reliable practice surfaces to strike golf balls from, these standard artificial mats are nothing like the real, yielding turf the game is actually played on.

J.R. Mats changed all that in 2005 with the introduction of the company's Country Club Elite® Real Feel Golf Mat™. Designed to provide a natural, turf-like experience that takes a real tee and allows golfers to swing down and through the ball as they practice, the mat allows for the development of good swing technique even on the practice range. Soon after its introduction, the Country Club Elite® caught the eye of professionals around the world and is now a fixture at such highly regarded schools as The Brian Manzella Golf Academy, the David Toms Academy, and the Mike Bender Golf Academy in Lake Mary, Fla.

Building on the success of the Country Club Elite®, J.R. Mats has since introduced a number of other, equally innovative and satisfying products, including the Uneven Lie golf mat that is designed to allow for the natural-feeling practice of especially difficult shots, as well as the company's Quick & True Putting Turf. All of these unique, industry-leading products were shown off to a great reception at the 2015 PGA Merchandise show in Orlando, raising the company's considerable profile even further and creating a host of new fans.

J.R. Mats Inc. would like to thank everyone who enjoyed demonstrations of the company's products during the show and looks forward to touching base again in the future. Further information about all of the company's products can be found at www.realfeelgolfmats.com, where a useful collection of informative Golf Mat Reviews is also offered to visitors.

Peerless practice mats now available to golfers in more countries than ever

West Chester, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2014 -- J.R. Mats Inc. announced expanded availability of its flagship Country Club Elite golf mats. Thanks to improved agreements with international shippers, golfers in more countries than ever can enjoy the game-enhancing construction of the company's practice mats. As the most natural-feeling golf mats on the market, the company's products have developed strong worldwide followings among amateur and professional golfers.

"We have a uniquely attractive product in our Real Feel Golf Mats," representative Jay McGrath said, "and we're always looking for ways to get them into more golfers' practice areas. Our new shipping arrangements will allow us to expand our reach even further around the world." Traditional golf practice mats are based on AstroTurf or similar types of artificial grass, most of which are designed for general-purpose use. The hard, stiff surfaces of these mats differs greatly from the natural grass and earth found on golf courses, potentially producing bad habits in golfers who practice on them excessively. The lack of give in these mats can even result in injuries over time, so that many golf professionals and sports medicine experts recommend against all but the lightest use of them.

The Real Feel Golf Mats designed and sold by J.R. Mats Inc., on the other hand, are built from the ground up to enable safe, natural practice where real grass is not practical. The mats make use of networks of densely packed fibers, exclusive to the company's product, which do an excellent job of replicating the feel of natural grass and earth. Golfers who practice on the company's mats can therefore swing down and through the ball in a way that would produce the divot characteristic of a good swing on a golf course. This ensures that practice will reinforce good habits, instead of leading to bad ones as usage of other practice mats can. The dense mats also allow for the use of wooden tees, instead of the integrated rubber tees used in most other mats which are never otherwise seen in the sport. In addition, the yielding nature of the company's mats prevents the shocks and jolts that can lead to injury with other products.

"Since they have gone on the market, our products have led a quiet sort of revolution when it comes to golf practice," McGrath continued, "and more golfers than ever can benefit from productive, healthy practice even when natural grass is not available. Our new international shipping arrangements are going to further that kind of much-needed progress." J.R. Mats Inc.'s products are available from the company's website, where it also hosts golf mat reviews of its own and others' offerings. Those wishing to take advantage of the newly enabled opportunities for international shipping may do so by submitting inquiries through the site.

About J.R. Mats Inc.
Founded in response to the unsatisfying nature of the golf practice mats available on the market at the time, J.R. Mats now produces the most natural-feeling and effective products of that sort. Its Real Feel Golf Mats offer an unparalleled experience and are available for shipment to much of the world through the company's website.
