Anyone else have problems hitting off mat?

I’m color blind and the green mats have very little color variation in them. As such it completely screws up my depth perception. Every time I am with a coach or someone that has me hitting off a mat I look like a 30 index.

It sucks because winter is the best time to work on a sim but I have to be on real grass.

Anyone know of a quality mat with color variations in it?

So how do you hit on a green course?

How do you know they're green? Every mat I've ever hit off of is red

You could probably get a few different shades of green spray paint and give the mat some spritzes with each to break up the monotone.

Have you heard of fiberbuilt grass series. It's basically a scrub brush turned upside down, also allows you to hit down and through. I'd imagine when you look down on the bristles the color varies, and the bristles themselves have depth.

First link to their website, and second link to YouTube clip of how the product works.

They can be expensive though, worth it though.
