The one case to watch
The wide flat foot sits on almost any firm mat; the soft anchor spikes then bite the rubber underlayer to stop skating. You want a mat with a real rubber layer under the grass (12 mm+ is plenty) so the spikes have something to grip. The two surfaces to avoid: a deep-pile shag mat where the foot can rock, and a single-layer EVA foam pad with no rubber for the spikes to seat in. A firm grass-over-rubber mat keeps it dead steady.
What we mean by "compatible"
(1) The foot sits flat without rocking. (2) The tee stands upright with a ball on it. (3) The soft anchor spikes grip the rubber and pull out cleanly, with the puncture self-sealing. (4) Visible mat damage after 100+ sessions is none-to-minimal.
