Just like a tittle suggests - I am struggling to solve a certain issue my product potentially might have. I was ready to order a sample after CNY, but someone left feedback on the landing page saying that stability might be a problem.

The sample cost is not cheap (a bit over 1k), so I am trying to hit a home run with a first order, before placing a large order right after.

Basically, it’s an indoor / outdoor golf hitting platform with a golf ball attached to it.

Initially, I had a large sheet metal base (24x18 cm) that the whole construction would sit on, but glancing over shipping costs and profit margins - I quickly adjusted the design and made the base smaller and lighter.

For simplicity, how can I keep a piece of around 24x18 cm OR smaller flat metal stable indoors? When golf ball is hit, there will be quite a lot of inertia, which would want to make the whole thing bounce.

I have thought about adding something like silicone suction cups, but that would only work if the surface was perfectly smooth.

By indoors I mean someone wants to use it in the garage (cement floor) OR inside the house (tiled area, linoleum, and maybe carpet).

I know it’s a very specific question, but maybe someone also made sports equipment for home practice where stability was important.
