I just received the mat and i am concerned about how small it is. if i have very little experience in hitting a golf ball, should i buy a larger one?

Hi, There is no need to be worried, while a larger mat may give you more peace of mind, all you need to do with this mat is simply keep the ball on the front half of the mat. This will then make it great for you to use and you will not hit the back causing damage to the mat or possibly your clubs. Thank you, Adam and the Rukket Sports Team
