2 Ways We Work with Golf Mat Manufacturers: Full Gel & Localized Gel Inserts

Custom Gel Cushioning Solutions for Indoor Golf Mats

Indoor golf simulators and artificial golf practice mats are becoming increasingly popular in homes, offices, golf training centers, and commercial facilities.

For golf mat manufacturers, creating a realistic hitting experience while improving cushioning and comfort is an important part of product development.

At Jiangmen Kunbao New Materials Co., Ltd., we manufacture customizable gel materials that can be integrated into artificial golf turf and foam structures.

We work with golf mat and artificial turf manufacturers through two main gel cushioning solutions:

  • Way 1: Full Gel Cushioning Layer

  • Way 2: Localized Gel Insert

Both solutions can be customized according to the manufacturer's mat design, performance requirements, and target market.


Way 1: Full Gel Cushioning Layer

Full-Surface Gel Cushioning for Premium Golf Mats

In this solution, a full gel cushioning layer is placed beneath the artificial turf, with a foam base underneath for additional support.

Recommended Structure

Artificial Turf Surface → Full Gel Cushioning Layer → Foam Base

The gel layer covers the main cushioning area, providing a consistent cushioning structure across the golf mat.

Key Benefits

1. Shock Absorption

The soft, resilient gel helps absorb impact forces during golf swings.

2. Joint-Friendly Cushioning

The cushioning layer helps reduce the harsh feel of repeated impacts, improving comfort during practice.

3. Realistic Turf Feel

The combination of artificial turf, gel, and foam can be adjusted to achieve the desired cushioning response.

4. Stable Support

The foam base provides structural support, while the gel contributes flexibility and resilience.

Ideal Applications

  • Premium indoor golf hitting mats

  • Commercial golf simulator mats

  • Golf training center practice mats

  • High-end home golf practice systems

How We Work with Manufacturers

Kunbao supplies customized gel sheets based on the manufacturer's required dimensions, thickness, hardness, and design.

Golf mat manufacturers can integrate our gel sheets with their existing artificial turf and foam materials to develop finished products.

This solution is particularly suitable for manufacturers developing premium golf mats with enhanced cushioning.


Way 2: Localized Gel Insert

Targeted Gel Cushioning for the Key Hitting Area

For manufacturers who want to improve cushioning without adding gel across the entire mat, we offer a localized gel insert solution.

In this design, a gel insert is placed only in the key hitting area, with foam surrounding it.

The entire upper surface remains covered with artificial turf, so the gel is not visible during normal use.

Recommended Structure

Top Layer: Artificial Golf Turf

Middle Layer: Localized Gel Insert + Surrounding Foam

Bottom Layer: Supportive Foam Base

Key Benefits

1. Targeted Impact Absorption

The gel is positioned in the area where repeated club impacts occur, providing localized cushioning.

2. Reduced Gel Material Usage

Compared with a full gel layer, this solution uses less gel material, helping manufacturers control material costs.

3. Flexible Structural Design

The gel insert can be customized in size, shape, thickness, and hardness to match different hitting-zone designs.

4. Consistent Turf Appearance

The gel remains hidden beneath the artificial turf, maintaining a clean and uniform playing surface.

Ideal Applications

  • Indoor golf simulator hitting mats

  • Replaceable golf hitting strips

  • Commercial golf practice mats

  • Cost-optimized golf mat designs

How We Work with Manufacturers

Kunbao manufactures gel inserts according to the dimensions and performance requirements provided by the golf mat manufacturer.

Manufacturers can place the gel insert within a specially designed foam structure and cover the entire surface with artificial turf.

This approach allows manufacturers to introduce targeted gel cushioning while retaining their existing golf mat construction.


Full Gel vs. Localized Gel Insert: Which Solution Is Better?

Both solutions offer different advantages depending on the manufacturer's product positioning and budget.

Feature Full Gel Localized Gel Insert
Gel Coverage Full cushioning area Key hitting area only
Cushioning Across the gel-covered area Targeted hitting-zone cushioning
Gel Material Usage Higher Lower
Cost Consideration Premium material structure More material-efficient
Customization Size, shape, thickness, hardness Size, shape, thickness, hardness
Best For Premium golf mats Targeted cushioning designs

The ideal solution depends on the golf mat structure, desired impact response, production cost, and end-user requirements.
