Outroad 7x7 ft Portable Golf Net Hitting Pitching Practice Driving with Carry Bag,Training for Outdoor,Indoor,Backyard (Orange)

This is a well constructed heavy duty net that is very easy to set up and take down but I would not recommend it for golf.I have decided to get back into golf after 10 years and bought a net for my backyard instead of going to the driving range. This had excellent reviews and was a good price. The first shot shanked hard right to the neighbor's fence and I quickly realized I need to stand closer to the net just to my swinging length. But then the next 20 balls that I hit, 5 of them hit the bar at the bottom and popped backward or straight up.I believe the construction of the bar being flush with the bottom of the net is poor design for a golf net system. I may be the rare exception to the rule and hit more burners but that is the reason I wanted a net was to practice. One popped back over my head over the pool behind me about 30 feet luckily not hitting my house windows. The others popped about 10-20 feet behind me or straight overhead. Not a good practice session quickly covering your head while yelling for your daughters playing nearby to do the same then have it land just 1-2 feet in front of you. If you hit professional shots every single time then this is great net and with a nice price. I had to sadly return it and will try one the nets with the bar placed back a few feet from the edge of the net.

Update: After owning this net almost 7 months now and it is still going strong. I have probably hit 5000 balls into it and I see no sign of net deterioration. The frame is showing slight sign of corrosion where the joints are because it is not powder coated but it still has several years of life left. ONE RECOMMENDATION for all you amateurs out there. Get a pool noodle and place it along the bottom of the net. You do not want to hit thin on your shot with a real golf ball and have the ball carom straight back at you, especially if you are indoors.Quality construction. It is so simple to put together that even a child can do it as long as he/she is tall enough to hook the loop to the top of the pole.Assembly: 1. Snap the two base bars to the two T-juctions. 2. Simply insert the two lower rods into the vertical portion of the T-junctions on each side. 3. Slide the sleeves attached to the net (the orange OUTROAD thing you see in the product image) on to the vertical rods. 4. Insert the two upper rods into the sleeves as well and connect them to the lower rods. 5. Hook the loops on the net to the top of the poles (there is a notch on the pole for this purpose). Hook the loops to the bottom of the base (there are fishooks on the base). 6. Done.Only place where you can go wrong is inserting the net upside down, which is what I did initially. The top of the net has the white loops while the bottom of the net has the black bungee like loops. That's pretty much it. No tools required. It is easy enough to assemble and disassemble that I take it down after every session so I don't have to leave the net out in the sun, which will ruin it in the long run.A few observations: The two base bars are slightly curved to begin with. They are not damaged or bent. The net's height could be a little bit higher. I tend to hit a high ball and my nine iron was hitting the net about 3/4 of the way up so unfortunately, I don't think I can fully hit the shorter clubs at full strength without being paranoid about a shot flying over the net. So I will just stick to the longer clubs with this net.Overall, a great purchase.

First, this is a GREAT product at an even better price (compared to other products of this quality) and my rating is actually 4.5 Stars but since that isn’t an option....I know some may like the orange, but for me, it’s a little much... I use this in my “man-cave” and would prefer it to blend in (muted colors or black) so I don’t have to disassemble it every time I have friends over to watch the game, fight, round, etc.One negative that is also a positive (depending on who you are) is that the net is actually to strong/heavy and the ball bounces back most times. Although maybe this will change after use.Other than that, it’s a great product. And I would recommend it to anyone, especially if it is used in an outdoor or more of recreational area.

Once they started closing golf courses around me due to the quarantine I started looking into alternatives for me to keep my swing up in the next few months.First thing first it is super simple to set up. Four main metal bars that click into each other, didn't even look at the instruction page the first time. Then there are 4 bars that hold the actual net, the ends with the silver tips hold the top of the net. On the net there are two white loops and two black ones, the white tips go on the top of the net.My only issue is that the bottom pieces should have some kind of protection. I hit two grounders that dented the bottom support bars, cosmetic for the most part but the second grounder came close enough to the center joint and that could be an issue taking them apart and putting them back together again.

I've had several golf nets that were a pain to assemble and disassemble (No disassemble!), so I ended up leaving them assembled outside where they were rendered useless from the weather and the critters after one season. This net assembles (and disassembles) in 3 minutes. And the parts fit into the included 3 foot x 6" bag. Buy it!

Net arrived and was put together quickly despite the directions not being overly clear. The net itself does have a lot of give so you will need to give yourself enough room behind it for the net to move upon the ball impacting it. Durability so far seems good. One issue is that the crossbar on the bottom will allow a real ball to bounce back very quickly if it is struck. This can be remedied by adding some insulation to it to dampen the impact. I keep this net in my garage and leave it assembled however I do disconnect the top of net while not in use. In the end it is a good value net for the money and time will tell about the durability with the net using real balls. I can see it lasting a very long time using foam or other practice balls.
