ABSTRACT:
A golf swing training mat has a follow-through notch. Golfers may align their feet and body with the notched mat and hit the ball near a hitting area edge thereof for more authentic golf swing training, especially at driving ranges. The mat has a hitting surface made of a material that nearly looks and gives a feeling of real grass and that is not easily destroyed by repeated swings of a golf club striking the material, and also a soft underpad. The golfer is able and is encouraged to realistically practice hitting down and through a golf ball as is to be done with an iron shot to obtain good backspin and hence, loft. Bounce-back or shock can be generally eliminated. Thus, the golfer can practice a fluid iron stroke generally without mat-caused interruption. In addition, the follow-through notch, is in part defined by a hitting area edge segment perpendicular to an intended line of flight of the golf ball to be struck by the golfer from the hitting surface, and is trapezoidal and additionally defined by an obliquely-angled edge segment obliquely angled to the abutting the hitting area edge segment, which envoids an area such that the golfer, when swinging an iron, can properly follow through downwardly after striking a golf ball with a golf club into the downwardmost portion of the swing when the ball is struck near the edge of the mat on the hitting area, and which allows for the golfer to follow through in a practice swing without striking the obliquely-angled edge segment.
