Carl's HotShot trouble mat converter strip
by Carl's Place

Carl's HotShot Trouble Mat Converter

$29.95
  • Authorized dealer. New stock through the manufacturer's distributor with full warranty — not a grey-market marketplace listing.
  • Questions before you buy? Call or text (931) 278-5630. You get me, not a call center.

Lets you practise rough and bunker shots without swapping mats.

Uneekor's Trouble Mat sections give you rough and sand lies, but dropped next to a HotShot mat there is a gap and a height difference between them. That gap is where your club catches and your lie becomes unrealistic.

This strip fills it

The two surfaces sit flush, so you can move from fairway to rough in one continuous hitting area and the ball sits the way it should in both.

Why practise trouble lies at all

Because almost nobody does, and it is where rounds get lost. Hitting a hundred perfect fairway shots a week does nothing for the shot you actually face out of thick rough on the third hole.

11.75 x 12 inches, converter strip only.

Worth knowing: this is often free with an EYE XO2 and a HotShot mat. Ask me before you add it separately. Call or text (931) 278-5630.

Customer Service Policies


We put care into everything we make and everything we ship. These policies exist so you know exactly what to expect if something comes up.

Ideally, you only need the shipping section. But we wrote the cancellations and returns parts down just in case.

Small truck

Shipping Policy

Carl's Place offers free, no-rush shipping on most orders delivered within the contiguous United States.

  • Paid shipping options are available if you want your item to arrive faster, if you need delivery outside of the contiguous United States, or if your items do not qualify for free, no-rush shipping, ie. freight deliveries.
  • Lead times may vary throughout the season. Handmade items like golf enclosures and custom screens may require extra production time. The expected arrival date of your selected items and shipping cost, if any, will populate during checkout.
  • The delivery date is our good faith estimate based on current lead times and the information we receive from the carriers. Carriers, however, may experience delays that are out of our control. Please use your tracking number to track the status of your package.
  • Some high-dollar items may need a signature at delivery to ensure they reach you safely.
International Shipping

International shipping options are calculated at checkout and cover the cost of shipping only. Any duties, taxes, brokerage, or other import fees (including clearance service charges in some cases) are the responsibility of the recipient.

Shipments that are discarded or returned due to nonpayment of delivery fees are not eligible for refund. The delivery timelines provided during checkout are estimates and do not account for delays caused by customs or brokerage processes.

Using our electronics in countries we can't ship to may lead to extra fees due to region locks. Be sure to check with the manufacturer for more details.

Thanks for choosing Cornerstone Golf. I'm one person who loves this stuff and wants to help you do it right — whether you build it yourself or have me install it here in Middle Tennessee. Every product I carry is chosen because it works, and if you're ever unsure, just reach out. I'd rather help you find what fits than sell you what doesn't. Let's talk.

Why buy it here

A real person on the other end.

You get me, not a call center

One phone number, and I answer it. Ask me whether this actually works with your setup before you order it.

Authorized dealer, real warranty

New stock through the manufacturer with full support. Not a marketplace listing from who-knows-where.

I use this stuff myself

I build simulator rooms for a living, so if something in here is a waste of money for your setup, I'll say so.

Description

Lets you practise rough and bunker shots without swapping mats.

Uneekor's Trouble Mat sections give you rough and sand lies, but dropped next to a HotShot mat there is a gap and a height difference between them. That gap is where your club catches and your lie becomes unrealistic.

This strip fills it

The two surfaces sit flush, so you can move from fairway to rough in one continuous hitting area and the ball sits the way it should in both.

Why practise trouble lies at all

Because almost nobody does, and it is where rounds get lost. Hitting a hundred perfect fairway shots a week does nothing for the shot you actually face out of thick rough on the third hole.

11.75 x 12 inches, converter strip only.

Worth knowing: this is often free with an EYE XO2 and a HotShot mat. Ask me before you add it separately. Call or text (931) 278-5630.
