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 the whole decision for anyone using a floor-standing launch monitor. The LITE's 1¼ in is specifically called out as low enough for the monitor to sit on the mat itself; the 4×10 instead leaves room beside the strip for it.
Length and the hitting strip position
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:
- Your floor-standing launch monitor needs to sit on the mat to read correctly, and 1.25 in solves that problem
- 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
The 1.25 in difference in thickness is the real question between these two. The SIGPRO Softy LITE 4×7 lists at $839.99 and solves one specific problem well. 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 you're not constrained by that launch monitor placement question, the 4×10 is the one to get.
