Mat and Net deals

Unpacked my Rawhide B grade today. It's nice and thick but not mushy.

One side had a pretty noticeable indent in front of the tee hole (top of the pic and the left mini section). Otherwise, the mat is in really nice condition.

Actually cut off about 16" on the worn edge to make the mat more manageable since I will be moving it from the garage to backyard each time. Also made a small stance and chipping mat from the cut off section that I can use indoors.

I asked the owner about C grade. The main criteria for C grade is if the wear went through the turf layer at the tee hole (like the sample pic on their site). If so, it would be an automatic C grade, even if the rest of the mat and tee area were pristine. But he couldn't guarantee that all C mats would be in B grade condition outside the tee area.

Based on my wanting to cut the mat, he actually suggested I order a C grade and then ask them to hand pick a flatter mat that had less wear on the bottom.

Just a heads up, I listen to the Shotgun Start too so I ordered a set from Rukket on 3/27 and it seems like they still haven't shipped. Their twitter mentions are a mess right now as well with similar stories. Don't know what happened but they have told me "other products are being prioritized right now." Not really sure what that means since I dont think they are making masks or anything dealing with the virus. Wanted to forewarn everyone in case they order today in hopes of having a net soon.

I instagram messaged them asking about a tracking number (figured I’d get a quicker response than via email) and was given a vague response of “your order has been fulfilled and we’re working on getting tracking from our warehouse”. I then got the email saying there’s a delay and some customers received “shipped” emails in error and to check the order status on the Rukket site. My order status still says shipped, so I’m hopeful I’ll receive it soon but not holding my breath given when you placed your order. Placed my order on 4/1 via the Rukket site.

@evidence120, here's how I cut my Rawhide. The 2x4 was recommended by the owner.
Tools:
Box cutter with new blade.Tape measure or ruler (I used a 16" ruler from a combination square since that's how wide I wanted my strip.Marker.Longest straight edge you have (I recommend a box box level. I used a 48" box box level).2x4 - preferably longer than the mat. Key is to elevate the cut line.Process:
Determine which side you want to cut off.Flip mat over so padding faces up (double check you're still working on the correct side)Make multiple marks along the mat for where you want to cut. Note, the turf overhangs the padding by about 1/2 inch. I incorporated that into my total measurements.Your cut marks should be close enough together so your straight edge can span at least 2 marks at a time.Place the mat over the 2x4. The part that you want to cut off should overhang the 2x4 edge. As you cut, that overhang will help pull the strip away as you cut through.At the edge of the mat, align your straight edge to your marks and hold down firmly so it doesn't move. That's where a box level is handy because you can easily place a knee on it along with one hand.Once you're aligned and steady, start scoring the padding along the straight edge using firm pressure. You'll have to make multiple passes.There are 3 separate layers to get through: the thick padding, then urethane mid layer and the turf. You will feel the turf as you make the scoring strokes. Use lighter pressure. You'll be able to pull then strip away from there to make sure you're all the way through.Repeat along your cut line until you're done.Some Caution:
You'll likely be working on the ground and crawling across the mat as you cut. Make sure none of your body parts are in the way of the blade exit. The firm pressure means it's also easy to slip out at the end...Depending on your box cutter, keep an eye out for the blade. The padding will grab the blade and it may disconnect from the handle.Have a broom or vacuum handy. My mat still had dirt and sand embedded. Also, the turf fibers will shed along the cut edge. Mine's still shedding a bit...Good luck!

They Insta messaged me today...

 

”We should have tracking number available in 1-2 days so we can give a firm date on delivery. We apologize for the delay.”

 

Totally get that they’re probably slammed with everyone wanting at-home training. Just wish they’d be a little more responsive.

and @MakersMarsh3 I didn't get a reply email yesterday (not surprising). Apparently they were sending out tweets to everyone that had blasted them asking them to DM them again. Said it was a "technical glitch." I am not sure I would qualify not having a company's DMs open as a "technical glitch."
I am on Day 12 now and my order still says unfulfilled on their website.

Rukket is a shit show currently.

Really expected no issues as they seemed capable of handling increased orders when I first contacted them

I think Rawhide was able to ship out same day. I was honestly looking for a CCE but couldn’t find anywhere that could ship in a timely manner

Here is my B grade rawhide that came in today as promised.

Overall great condition. You can see moderate wear around 1 of the tee holes, and really light wear on another, but I’ve hit off range mats that were in way worse condition, and for the size of the mat it’s a non-issue.

It rolled right out flat and for the quality, no tax, free next day shipping, and great customer service I received from Mark, this is no doubt the best mat option out there.

I feel bad for all the issues everyone is having with their Rukket orders. I was going that route, but decided to reach out to netreturn and see if they were still shipping orders before I pulled the trigger on the Rukket. Paul answered my email right away, letting me know they were shipping next day, and it was well after business hours. Super impressed with the level of customer service despite all the circumstances, so I went with the netreturn instead and am really glad I did.

It also came today and is as advertised. Took longer to get all of the individually wrapped pieces out of the packaging than it did to put together, and I was hitting balls 10min after UPS drove off. Could not be happier with either product.
