Hey if anyone needs a practice mat I made mine for less than 10 bucks and it's huge! I bought a piece of lexan wood 4' x 2' for 5.00$ and a yard of royal blue felt at Wal-Mart for around 3.00$. I stretched the felt over the lexan and used a household stapler to hold it in place it works great and leaves tons of room- although the portability factor is rather small.
