Best Golf Mats for Elbow Pain

If you're struggling with elbow pain—or want to avoid it altogether—choosing the right golf mat or hitting strip can make a huge difference. At The Indoor Golf Shop, we design all of our mats and hitting strips with a focus on joint safety without sacrificing the realistic feel that serious golfers demand. Here’s a breakdown of our best options for protecting your elbows during indoor practice:

SIGPRO Softy Golf Mat and Hitting Strip Series

Our flagship option, the SIGPRO Softy, is built with a soft foam insert layered over a dense foam base. This combination creates excellent shock absorption, reducing the strain on your elbows and wrists while still delivering authentic feedback through impact. Ideal for both casual and serious indoor golfers.

SIGPRO SUPER Softy and Commercial Teeline Golf Mat and Hitting Strips

The SUPER Softy series adds a thick rubber base beneath the Softy’s original structure, giving even more support and joint relief. It’s a fantastic choice for semi-permanent or high-use commercial indoor setups where comfort and long-term durability matter.

SIGPRO Hitting Strip Series

The SIGPRO Hitting Strip is more than just a compact alternative—it's a smart, modular solution for golfers who want durability and joint protection where it matters most. Designed to be easily replaceable, it allows you to swap out only the hitting area when it wears down—saving you the cost and hassle of replacing an entire mat.

This feature makes it a favorite not just for home setups, but also for commercial simulator bays and teaching centers that see heavy daily use. In fact, we’ve heard countless stories from customers who have cut out sections of other brand mats just to insert our Softy hitting strip—and others who’ve even built their entire flooring platforms around it. When it comes to comfort, longevity, and performance, the hitting strip is often the centerpiece.  As far as your equipment goes, it is an absolutely key component in protecting your joints.

Bottom Line for Golfer Elbow Pain

Not all golf mats and hitting strips are created equal—especially when it comes to joint health. At The Indoor Golf Shop, we’ve engineered our SIGPRO lineup to reduce impact strain while staying true to the feel of real turf. Whether you're recovering from golfer’s elbow or proactively protecting your joints, there’s a SIGPRO option built for you.
