The Quick Verdict
Get the SIGPRO Softy 4×10. It's $360 more at list, but that extra length puts your launch monitor on the mat with you, it takes a real tee, and it's the one with a published weight. The SIGPRO Softy LITE 4×7 makes sense if you want a shorter, thinner, cheaper mat: 84 in long, 1.25 in thick, and $360 less at list. Outside that, the 4×10 is the stronger setup.

What They Have in Common
Both are SIGPRO Softy mats with a replaceable hitting strip, no published warranty, and a 48 in width. They share the same basic pitch: a dedicated hitting strip you can swap out when it wears, so you're not replacing the whole mat. Same brand, same strip concept, different implementations.
Where They Differ
Thickness and launch monitor placement
This is where it matters most. The SIGPRO Softy 4×10 is 2.5 in thick, though The Indoor Golf Shop gives its strip height as 2⅜ in on the 4×10 page and 2½ in on the 4×7 page without resolving which is right. The SIGPRO Softy LITE 4×7 is 1.25 in thick, a full 1.25 in difference. That gap is worth measuring if anything is going down next to the mat. But both leave space beside the strip for a launch monitor: The Indoor Golf Shop says a floor-standing unit can sit on the LITE's mat, and the 4×10's extra length is sold as room for the monitor and a full stance.
Length and what fits on the mat
The 4×10 is 120 in long. The 4×7 is 84 in long. Both are 48 in wide. That extra 36 in on the 4×10 is where your launch monitor goes — the mat is long enough to fit the monitor, a full stance, and the hitting strip without any of them fighting for space. The 4×7 doesn't have that runway.
Tee options and surface material
The 4×10 uses SIGPRO's Teeline turf across the stance area, which takes a real tee at adjustable height. The LITE uses premium putting turf for the stance, and it cannot take a real tee. If you're hitting irons only or working on your sim setup with a tee peg, that's a real distinction. The LITE is flagged as indoor use only; the 4×10 has no such restriction stated.
Weight and portability
The 4×10 lists at 31 lbs. The Indoor Golf Shop doesn't publish a weight for the LITE 4×7, so there's no comparison to make there.
Who Should Buy Which
Get the SIGPRO Softy 4×10 if:
- You want to hit off a real tee
- Your launch monitor needs a dedicated space on the mat beside the hitting strip
- You're building a dedicated bay and want the room to spread out — 10 ft gives you the launch monitor, both feet, and the strip without crowding anything
- You want a published weight before you order — the 4×10 is listed at 31 lbs
Get the SIGPRO Softy LITE 4×7 if:
- You want the thinnest profile of the two — 1.25 in against the 4×10's 2.5 in
- You're working with a tighter footprint and 7 ft is a better fit than 10 ft
- You're hitting irons and wedges and don't need a real tee
- The $360 difference at list is meaningful and the LITE covers your use case
The Bottom Line
Length and profile are the real questions between these two — 120 in against 84 in, 2.5 in against 1.25 in. The SIGPRO Softy LITE 4×7 lists at $839.99 and is the shorter, thinner, cheaper mat. The SIGPRO Softy 4×10 lists at $1,199.99 and does more: real tees, more length, and a published weight of 31 lbs. If the footprint and the price gap aren't what's constraining you, the 4×10 is the one to get.
