The Sod Buster is a patented, golf practice hitting mat that is designed to simulate the feeling of taking a divot. The Sod Buster uses a Bi-Axial movement, meaning the turf moves on both the horizontal and vertical axis. By allowing the turf to move the Sod Buster eliminates turf shock associated with conventional hitting mats. The design of the Sod Buster allows the turf to move, with the club, down and through the ball for the most realistic feel available on the market.
