   Litchfield – April 2, 2021

   I purchased this net along with 2 hitting mats, practice balls, and more – all GoSports brand products. I did not really need a net, but since I was splurging on the hitting mats, I decided to go for the net as well, so that it would give me the option of having something to hit into in the wintertime. I was slightly prejudiced towards the GoSports net over other brands because I was ordering their brand of hitting mats, but after comparing this product to other nets available on Amazon, it seemed like this net would hold up well enough based on the ratings. It was not the cheapest net available on Amazon, but my hopes were that it was going to be high quality and hold up well.

   I ended up purchasing a Used one from Amazon Warehouse to save a few bucks. The package definitely arrived damaged and one of the legs was sticking out the side of the box. Upon opening it, the metal feet did appear to be scratched on the bottom as if it were drug across concrete, but the net was still in the original packaging, so I’m not sure what the deal was. Regardless, everything was there, and assembled very quick and easy.

   The netting material is soft (probably cotton/poly), but it does perfectly fine stopping the few real golf balls hit into it with full swings from irons up to driver. I have mostly hit the GoSports hard shell foam practice golf balls into this net though because I do not want to damage it or wear it down with real golf balls. I decided to go ahead and order the ~$20 add-on net that is clips on to the front of the net for added protection. I just received the add-on netting today and it easily just clips on to the top loops of this net and can be adjusted. The add-on net is made of a different material than the regular netting and is like a synthetic/plastic netting. That netting seems heavier duty, and will hopefully help prevent the soft regular netting from getting holes; my only concern is that it is a rougher feel and I just hope it does not wear down the softer netting as the two rub together when a ball impacts them as that would defeat the purpose of the added protection. Only time will tell on that though. But now that I have the add-on net installed, I will feel free to swing away with regular balls hit into this net. (The attached picture does not show the add-on netting)

   I remember seeing reviews about the netting leaving black marks on balls. I can attest that it did mark up the hard shell foam practice balls that I was hitting into the net. The few real golf balls that I hit into the net at full power did not show any markings however. The add-on net has yet to be tested, so I cannot say whether or not that also marks up the balls.

   Overall, I am please with the purchase of this net. I hope it holds up well and lasts a long time for our family to use. I am also please with all of the other GoSports products I purchased. So far everything seems to be good quality and value. I’ve left reviews on the other products with the same headline and picture if you are looking for my take on those products as well.

   Ordered to set up a practice area in backyard. Set up great and catches the golf balls as expected. What interesting is that if I hit it just right, the ball returns to my position. This is probably because the net is set up on a cement deck.

   The only issue I have is the little target they provide with next. This was meant for pitching, I guess. Well smacked a few 8 irons in to it. The snaps to affix to the net were destroyed.

   Then also read if your club head speed is greater than 100 mph, a separate net was required. But I can’t find where to get that. I’m currently between 105 to 110 Mph. I guess the concern is that the ball will go thru the netting. Now off to see if I can find that additional netting.

   Since I live in Colorado, I bought this so I can practice my swings during the winter when the courses are closed and I don’t feel like driving to XGolf or another simulator. I have no complaints so far. Pulling everything out of the box, it came in quite a few pieces, so took some time to set up but wasn’t that bad. I typically only hit irons into the netting and the occasional hybrid, no drivers yet; but the durability of the net seems great. Really happy since this was one of the cheaper nets, and seems like it will hold up for a few winters. If you’re looking to just practice your swing, or start building your own garage simulator, this net is perfect to start with!

   joe3rd – December 3, 2022

   I bought this golf driving net to replace a different brand I bought 3 months ago. The other brand was of similar size, but semi-circle in shape. The other net required me to assemble a 10ft + fiberglass pole that was divided into multiple 12-14” sections and connected with elastic bands…and thread this long pole thru the perimeter of the semi-circular net. Then, I connected the pole/net assembly to a triangular base that consisted of 9 pieces of metal tubing. Finally, I staked the old net in place, and in 15-20min I was in business. The old net’s internal poles started to crack and it didn’t hold its shape after 3 months of use and about 400-500 shots. After each range session, it took about 10-15 min to disable and put back in the bag. About 30 min of my time was spent assembling and disassembling the old net. (The brand of the old net was similar to the name of an ancient astronomer)

   Now for the new GoSports net…

   The GoSports net is 100 times better.
   – it goes together in about 5 minutes
   – the base consists of 5 steel tubes that are snapped together and covered with, what seems to be, a durable powder coating. 5 pieces of tubing are much sturdier than 9.
   – the 2 vertical end poles are much thicker and each only consists of 2 pieces. The end poles are 2-3 times thicker than the multiple piece sectioned frame of the old net.
   – The net attaches to the frame/pole assembly in no time.
   – this new net anchors to the ground very easily.
   – I didn’t use the enclosed target that came with the new net. I actually used the larger target that came with my old net (the only part of the old net that was of high quality)
   – the GoSports net disassembles as quickly as it goes together.
   – the GoSports net DOES fit in its zipper bag. Those who say that it doesn’t don’t know how to pack anything away.

   So far, the GoSports net has seen 200+ shots and there has been no wear on the net. It probably helps having the 2’ x 3’ hanging target from my old net hanging from the GoSports netting. Although, the GoSports netting does look very robust. Very high quality. The old net I had took 30min out of my practice time to set it up then put it away – the GoSports net takes me less than 10min total time to set up and take down. That’s 20 more minutes to practice.

   1200-1300 balls later…

   The GoSports net is still going strong. No rips in the netting and no cracking in the fiberglass poles. The GoSports net is still performing like new!! I have my setup time down to under 3 min and my disassembly time is around 3-4 minutes (takes a bit longer to fold the net and pack everything in the bag. The bag is still holding up with zipper intact after 6 weeks of setting it up and taking it down.
   No issues.

   15,000-20,000 shots later (about 2 yrs of use, approx 25 days per month, approx 75 shots per day, 5-6 months each year)…

   -the net is still holding up strong. No tears in the net (105-110mph ball speed with 7 iron & 135-140mph ball speed with driver — I am not a long hitter). I do still have the 2ft X 3ft target hanging to help absorb some energy from the ball. No major rust on any of the metal tubing sections & the welds at the corners are still holding up. The Velcro on the sides of the net is a little less grippy, but still holts the net to the side support poles. No rips or tears in the bag yet and the zipper is still holding up fine. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

   So far, after 2 yrs, the net has been a great value. Now on to a 3rd season. 😀
