Happy with this golf practice net
I've had this SteadyDoggie 10' wide golf practice net for over a month now and have hit ~1000 shots into it. I've hit mostly 8-irons into it, plus a fair amount of long irons and hybrids, a few PW, and some drivers.Great practice net. I'd buy it again- very happy with this purchase. The product catches balls very confidently and gently drops them into the bottom collection area with little fuss. No bounce-back at all, not even with a driver. I like the large size- I've hit a few shanks, and the net has caught them. I suppose if you're set up too far from the net a shank could get past it, so hit your shots from reasonably close (I'm typically about 4'-5' from the front), and don't use it to practice full swing shots with gap or lob wedges that might get over it.It's well built, and the net is holding up fine thus far- no noticeable wear as yet. Nothing has disconnected or otherwise come loose. I've mis-hit a few shots thin/low enough that they impacted the front of the collection barrier instead of the net, and it hasn't torn or ripped, even at driver velocity. I'll be interested to see how everything holds up over the long term, but it seems as though it will last a number of seasons. IMO SteadyDoggie did a good job with this.I have no significant negatives to note- this has exceeded my expectations. Here are a few other notes folks might be interested in:It took 5-10 minutes to read the instructions/set it up the one and only time I've done it. Next time would probably be a lot faster. I haven't taken it down yet so can't speak to that.Some pictures show the net as being fairly tight across the top, others show it with a bit of sag. Mine has a bit of sag. Roughly 6.5' high in the center, 7.5' at the corners.The ball catch at the bottom does a good job of collecting hit balls. However long irons and beyond, with their higher velocity and lower trajectory, sometimes flex the net enough to pop a ball out of the collection area. When it happens, it usually lands a foot or three from the front of the net (makes for a handy ball return). I've had a good driver shot lob a ball 6 or 8 feet from the net. If you're looking for something to use outdoors on a hard surface on which a popped out ball could roll a ways (driveway) or get scuffed up on, this product might not be ideal.It can blow over in moderate wind if not secured...the provided U-pegs are handy.The chipping target is probably not intended for use with full shots, but I like having something to judge the line of my shot's impact, so I hang it behind the net. I'm probably shortening the life of the target by doing this, but I don't chip with this net so don't care too much about it. Anyway, a good hit on the target, even though the ball hits the net material first, makes a pretty loud (and satisfying, if I'm being honest) thwack, louder than the clubface does on the ball. I would think twice about using the target for full shots if I lived in a tight neighborhood.

Good Golf Net
I have been using this net for 2 1/2 months now, with a combination of regular golf balls and foam balls, and with clubs from a sand wedge to a driver. So far, it has held up well and done the job. This net is easy to assemble, comes with some spare pins used to hold telescoping parts together, and is plenty sturdy for home use. It could probably be used in a golf practice facility, too.On the negative side, you need to be close to the net when using clubs with higher lofts, as you can pretty easily go over the top of the net with a hard wedge swing. On the other hand, I am not sure a higher new would be practical in a back yard with trees.

Good quality product, easy to assemble
I'm always skeptical of these types of products. Too often, the net or the framework are very poor quality. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of this net, especially at this price point. The net is plenty strong enough for me to blast my driver using real golf balls. Nets I've had in the past would allow the ball to go straight through!Assembly is very simple and the frame is a nice, sturdy combo of a steel base with fiberglass rods holding the net. The rods themselves are also thicker and feel like a better quality than a lot of the other nets out there.The size of the net is also a nice plus.

Husband was very happy!!! This is a very well made INDOOR/OUTDOOR NET that can be used very all kinds of sports activities! Easy to follow instructions! VERY HAPPY I DECIDED TO GO WITH THIS NET INSTEAD OF THE OTHERS I HAD CONSIDERED! Oh and setting it up was a breeze!

Good overall quality except one small detail
The two straps that hold the net down to the metal frame in front broke loose on both sides after only three balls were hit thin that struck the lower part of the net. I replaced the sewn in straps with zip ties through the net and all is good after a few hundred balls. Overall good quality, just need to tweak this area a little I think. Good product, I recommend the product other than the straps mentioned. But that’s an easy fix if it happens to you. Don’t hit it thin and low.

This is a great net
This net is easy to set up and SOLID. It is able to take all kinds of punishment and does its best corralling shanks (don't stand too far away from the net if you slice a lot). I would buy this again if for some reason it ripped or broke. 10/10!

Better than expected from ease of use.
This product is a very nice golf net. You can hit real balls into it without fear of putting holes through it. My favorite feature is the ease of setup in takedown. Set up takes about 10 minutes by myself and takedown takes less than 5 minutes. Very pleased with the product.One thing to note is, although the catch basin at the bottom will catch the balls, they will bounce off of hard floors (ie. concrete garage floor). I highly recommend this net for the price.

Super easy set up and take down
I usually do not write reviews but after purchasing this and using it for the last week just about every day I felt I had to write a review. I have had a few different practice nets over the years and by far this product has already proven to be the best. Super easy set up and take down. Very sturdy construction and design and with the carry bag very easy to take with you or change locations.
