I have the same issues with mine. I have a baroness greens mower. My guess is that its unlevel soil. I need to do a major overhaul and level my yard. I am shooting for next year, but we'll see.

Alex,

What rate of cut do you have your Baroness on? I have found that using the Low rate of cut gives a better after cut appearance when cutting at higher HOC's. It could also be the condition of your lawn and how thick the "mat" layer is too and how much pressure you are applying to the handle bars while mowing.

I have it on low. Its not horrible bur you can see it. I think it a leveling issue, would verticutting get rid of the "mat issue"?

Yes, verticutting would help with the mat issue but it's getting late in the season to be doing that and having enough time for the bermuda to recover. During the Spring scalp is the best time to do it as it starts you off on the right foot for the year.
