Compare Carl’s Place HotShot Hitting Mat Sizes
Choose the footprint around your players
The listed HotShot sizes provide different amounts of standing and ball-placement space. Map the ball location, stance and monitor position on the floor before choosing. For players of different handedness, assess the entire layout rather than assuming a wider mat alone solves the changeover.
Coordinate the mat with the enclosure floor
Compare the mat’s finished height with surrounding turf, landing pads and floor components. Read the product’s details about its hitting surface and replacement options before planning long-term maintenance. Leave the screen distance and swing clearance required by the rest of the simulator.
Tape out 4 by 5 and 4 by 9 before choosing
Mark each candidate footprint on the floor, then mark the ball position required by the launch monitor. Add the stance for every intended player. The larger HotShot option should solve an actual placement or shared-use need; extra width by itself does not change where the monitor can read a shot. Keep the mat layout consistent with the selected enclosure opening and screen distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which HotShot sizes are shown here?
The collection includes the listed 4-by-5 and 4-by-9-foot models. Check current product options and complete dimensions before ordering.
Does a wider mat change the launch monitor’s hitting zone?
No. The monitor’s supported ball-placement area remains defined by its installation requirements. Align the mat with that zone.
Can I use a HotShot mat with an existing enclosure?
Check the mat footprint, height and ball position against your enclosure and monitor setup. Sharing a brand is not required, but the dimensions must work together.
