About the Turf Hitting Mat with Throw Down Home Plate
The Turf Hitting Mat with Throw Down Home Plate is a portable, heavy duty artificial turf batting mat for batting practice indoors or outdoors. It has inlaid white batter's box lines and comes with a throw down home plate, so any cage, gym or practice field gets a real batter's box.
The turf is spike resistant, high grade textured turf on a thick 5 mm foam backing, built for durability, long life and excellent foot traction.

Why Use a Hitting Mat
Batter's boxes take a beating. A turf mat protects the field or cage floor, gives hitters the same footing on every swing, and the inlaid lines show hitters exactly where to stand in the box. Roll it out for practice and put it away afterward.
Where to Use It
- Batting cages with turf or concrete floors
- Practice fields to save the batter's box
- Gyms and indoor facilities in the off season
- Lessons and camps
Pairs Well With
Add the Pitch Location Mat for pitch location work, or the Plain Turf Batter's Mat for a smaller mat without lines.

Who It Is For
Facilities, high schools, colleges and travel organizations that want a real batter's box in the cage or on the practice field, and instructors who teach indoors. The lines help young hitters learn where to stand in the box.
Care
Sweep or blow off the turf after use, let it dry before rolling it up, and store it flat or rolled out of direct sun.
Setting Up
Unroll the mat on a flat surface, let it relax for a few minutes so it lies flat, set the throw down plate in place and start hitting. On concrete floors the foam backing adds comfort for hitters standing in the box all session.
Durability
The spike resistant turf and foam backing hold up to daily use in cages and on fields, season after season, without tearing at the toe line where hitters plant.
