SIGPRO Commercial Teeline 4×5 vs SIGPRO Softy LITE 4×7

The Quick Verdict

Get the SIGPRO Softy LITE 4×7. It's $40 more at list, but you get a longer mat, a replaceable hitting strip, and — critically — 1.25 inches of thickness that lets a floor-standing launch monitor sit directly on the mat rather than beside it. The SIGPRO Commercial Teeline 4×5 makes sense if you need full-surface teeline turf across the whole mat, particularly for a launch monitor that needs a wide, consistent detection zone — but for a standard home simulator bay, the Softy LITE is the one to build around.

What They Have in Common

Both are same-brand SIGPRO mats, both 48 inches wide, neither carries a published weight or warranty from The Indoor Golf Shop. The Teeline ships by freight. The price gap at list is $40.

Where They Differ

Size and Surface

The Softy LITE 4×7 is 84 inches long. The Teeline 4×5 is 60 inches long. That extra 24 inches on the Softy LITE is real estate for your stance.

The surface materials are genuinely different. The Teeline uses teeline turf across the entire mat — hitting area and stance area alike. The Softy LITE pairs a SIGPRO Softy LITE hitting strip with a premium putting-turf stance area. That's a meaningful distinction. The trade-off is that putting turf doesn't take a real tee. The Teeline page doesn't explicitly confirm tee use either, so neither product is a clear winner there — but the Softy LITE's page states it outright: no real tee.

Thickness and Launch Monitor Placement

This is where 1.13 inches matters more than you'd think. The Softy LITE sits at 1.25 inches thick. The Teeline comes in at 2.375 inches. The Softy LITE's 1¼ in is specifically called out as low enough for a floor-standing launch monitor to sit on the mat itself. There's no such note on the Teeline, so with that one you'd be working around a 2⅜ in step.

Replaceability

The Softy LITE has a replaceable hitting strip. The Teeline does not — when the turf wears under your irons, the mat is done. That's not a knock on the Teeline's construction, but it is a practical difference over time.

Configuration and Shipping

The Teeline comes in three sizes: 4×5, 4×7, and 4×9. If you need a longer mat with full teeline turf, larger options exist. The Softy LITE is a single SKU. The Teeline also ships LTL freight.

Who Should Buy Which

Get the SIGPRO Softy LITE 4×7 if:

• You're running a floor-standing launch monitor and need it to sit on the mat surface
• You want a hitting strip you can replace when it wears out
• You prefer a longer mat (84 in) for a more comfortable stance zone
• You're building a dedicated indoor simulator bay

Get the SIGPRO Commercial Teeline 4×5 if:

• Your launch monitor has a wide detection zone that benefits from consistent teeline turf across the full surface
• You want a mat available in multiple length options from the same product line
• Full-surface uniformity matters more to you than strip replaceability

The Bottom Line

The $40 list-price gap doesn't tell the real story here. The Softy LITE 4×7 is longer, thinner, and has a replaceable strip — three advantages that compound over a simulator season. The thickness gap alone is worth paying attention to: if a floor-standing launch monitor is part of your setup, only the Softy LITE is listed as thin enough for it to sit on the mat. The Teeline has a real use case in launch-monitor-specific configurations where full-surface teeline turf matters, but for most home bays, the Softy LITE is the one to buy.
