What They Have in Common
Both are SIGPRO mats built on Teeline turf over a rubber or foam base, both come in at 48 inches wide, and both sit at 2-plus inches thick. Neither comes with a published warranty from The Indoor Golf Shop. Same brand, same turf material, very different purposes.
Where They Differ
Size and layout
The Teeline 4×5 is 60 inches long. The Softy 4×10 is 120 inches long. That extra length isn't padding — it's what gives you room to set a launch monitor beside the hitting strip without it sitting on a different surface or on bare floor. The Teeline 4×5 is a hitting surface; the Softy 4×10 is a hitting station.
The hitting position matters too. The Teeline 4×5 is a full-surface mat, meaning you can hit from anywhere on it. The Softy 4×10 is offset: the hitting strip sits at one end, and the rest of the mat is stance and monitor space. If you're using a launch monitor with a wide detection zone that needs a clean, consistent turf surface across a large area, that's the argument for the Teeline. If you want a defined hitting position with room to work around it, that's the Softy.
The hitting strip
This is the biggest difference. The Softy 4×10's strip is replaceable — foam insert, three compression slots, Teeline turf that takes a real tee at adjustable height. When it wears out, you swap the strip, not the mat. The Teeline 4×5 has no hitting strip. The whole surface is the hitting surface, and when the turf wears it wears everywhere. The Indoor Golf Shop's own product page notes this distinction directly when comparing it to the Softy line.
One flag worth knowing: The Indoor Golf Shop lists the Softy strip height as 2⅜ inches on this page and 2½ inches on the 4×7 listing. They can't both be right, and the site doesn't resolve it. The two mats themselves are 2⅜ in and 2½ in thick, so the gap between them is 0.125 in — but that unresolved strip figure is still worth knowing about.
Tee options
The Softy 4×10 takes real tees at adjustable height. The Teeline 4×5 page never says the turf takes a tee. That may just be a gap in the copy, but The Indoor Golf Shop doesn't say it, so neither will I.
Price
The Teeline 4×5 lists at $799.99. The Softy 4×10 lists at $1,199.99. That's a $400 gap at list. The Teeline also ships by freight, which is worth factoring into the real cost of delivery.
Who Should Buy Which
Get the SIGPRO Softy 4×10 if:
- You want a mat that serves as a complete hitting station — strip, stance area, and room for a launch monitor
- Being able to replace the hitting strip matters to you (a strip you can replace is the difference between a worn mat and a new mat)
- You want to hit off real tees
- You have 10 feet of floor to give it
Get the SIGPRO Commercial Teeline 4×5 if:
- You're using a launch monitor with a wide detection zone that needs consistent turf across the whole hitting surface
- You're working in a tighter space and 10 feet isn't available
- You want a lower list price and the larger Softy footprint doesn't fit the setup
- The Teeline 4×7 or 4×9 variants are worth checking too if the 4×5 feels small
The Bottom Line
Both mats are built on the same Teeline turf, but they're solving different problems. The Teeline 4×5 is a surface. The Softy 4×10 is a setup. For a permanent hitting bay where you'll put in real sessions, the replaceable strip, the real-tee capability, and the dedicated monitor space on the Softy 4×10 are worth the $400 difference at list. The Teeline 4×5 earns its place in specific situations, but it's not the default choice here.
Get the SIGPRO Softy 4×10.
