Backyard Golf Nets

Bought this kit after giving up on cheaper nets and mats. I want to be able to hit real balls, mostly indoors in my basement gym, or on my back patio- this has been perfect for that so far. The$ 100ish nets topple without anchors or rip too easy with real balls and foam ones are bs. The net ’s base is really sturdy, which is essential for hitting indoors. It will bounce balls back at you, but that is to be expected when you ’ re hitting into a net on a hard floor. They just roll back at you 99% of the time, with the occasional bouncer. Let ’s be real though, don ’ t crush real golf balls into an indoor net and expect to never cut one loose every now and then. I would also recommend not using anything larger than a 3 wood indoors, unless you have a lot of space. You need a solid 3- 4ft of wiggle room to be able to hit the sweet spot of the net. Unless you have a full garage or something like that, you ’ ll be a little limited. You ’ ll probably be too close to the net, and your shots will hit too low so they ’ ll bounce off the ground more. If I ’ m hitting irons, I never have a problem though. The target also takes a lot of speed off the ball, so if you aren ’ t hacking your shots, you should be good. So far this has been the most effective investment I ’ ve made in my game. I really like the target too for tactile feedback, it gives me a good sense of where my shots are going. Sets up/breaks down in 5 minutes so I have no excuses anymore, it ’s really easy to go hit a few balls throughout my day( essential for wfh life too). I ’ m hitting actual balls every day now, and that ’s definitely helping. My only gripe is the mat is really small, I just sprung for a 4x5. It works, but I don ’ t love the mental image it gives you. The shagger is awesome though, I can ’ t believe I went this long without having one. It ’s definitely improved my focus too because I ’ m not chasing balls around.
