Well done here, the word is MAT. One T. It's a word pre-schoolers know how to spell when they want to take a nap on their mat.
Hitting off mats is fine, you just don't get as pure a feedback because you can hit behind the ball and get away with it. But you're not going to hurt yourself or anything, not a big deal. I've no issue using them if necessary.
As far as a good player spending 2000 hours per year working on their game, they may improve to a scratch, they may improve to a +3, who knows? Different people have different ceilings. It's not like work guarantees results. Just like as we've discussed in this thread many times that some players could work infinitely hard and still not be able to break 80.
If you've perused this thread, you'll see that quite a few ignorant souls think that anybody with infinite time to practice could be a scratch or better when nothing could be farther from the truth.
