Gagalileo Golf Hitting Net Heavy Duty Golf Net Golf Practice Nets for Backyard Home Driving Range with Target and Carry Bag 9(L) x5(W) x7(H) FT

Got this net about a month ago and have used it heavily since. It has held up well, despite the fact that I pretty much leave it up in all weather minus super gusty wind. I love the design of it, and the size is great, it REALLY captures all your shots from a distance that's comfortable enough to swing freely. The material does not appear to be the greatest, but the sleeves have held up well. I have experienced a couple small rips and tears along the floor, but 5 stars for a super responsive customer service that helped me out with that issue quickly.That's basically the review, but this is how I beefed up the setup to make it more stable: I supplemented the base with a tarp underneath, and swapped out the default stakes for some old volleyball net ones that help it stay up in 15mph wind easily. The ricochet can potentially be ridiculous, especially the way my setup is, so I also ran a heavier rope along the back and hang a heavy cloth tarp whenever I hit anything over a wedge to deaden it. I also have it tucked into a mat/toss rug so the ball perfectly funnels to the bottom of the net as it's designed.

I've only had this for little over a week and hit about 150-200 balls into it. It was fairly easy to assemble and seems to work just fine. However the target already has a tear in it and I've only hit a 7 iron so far. Hope the rest of it holds up better then the target. I contacted the manufacture about the issue with the target and they sent out a replacement without question.Update:After about 3 months of using the net, it has developed a few holes around the seams and one ball actually shot through the net. Fortunately it did not hit anything. Once again I contacted the manufacture and again without hesitation they offered to send a replacement net out as soon as it became available.

I set it up on a Saturday afternoon and was going to start using it on next day (sunday afternoon). Sunday morning it was fine. Sunday afternoon it was broken. A LITTLE bit of breeze. VERY minor wind. And the fiberglass poles broke!I didn’t even get a chance to swing ONE shot into the net. The net was up literally less than 24 hours and it was broken.Setting the net up was not easy either. Definitely a two person job. The issue that made it hard was that the metal poles should have a push button locking system. Since it doesn’t they come loose very easily which makes setting up the net so unnecessarily difficult. Just terrible design all the way. I’m so glad I set up the net right away and saw how crappy it was otherwise I could’ve missed the return period.

I brought this golf hitting net in June. I like the design and its size for my backyard. I was very happy playing it until a ball went through. A string of the top net was broken. More and more strings were broken in two months. Then I contacted Galileo Sports' customer services. Tara answered my email right away and reviewed the pictures of the broken net. The same product was out of stock. Tara then helped to find and ship me a replacement net with more durable strings free of charge. I would like to give Tara many THANKS for the excellent customer service and 5 star value to Galileo Sports.

Excellent net, easy to install and fits well in my garage. Added a larger impact net, which I bought separately.

I was really hopeful that this net would be a good solution for summer (desert) garage golf practice. The assembly was not as easy as I would have liked, but got it done and assume next time will be easier.So since I purchased this net in June I’ve used it very infrequently for a total of about 3-4 hours. Using it today…on a long holiday weekend, I noticed a frayed piece of net just above the target fabric square. I’ve done a piecemeal attempt to try to mend it and survive a bit longer, but it’s in a very precarious place as my garage door windows are directly in line with the hole. I’ll share a picture.Back to the wear and tear expectation, I have my skytrak set up and I am not hitting anything with higher ball speeds or spins above 10-11k such that one might expect a faster net breakdown. Too bad…Oh and the towels on the floor of the net are to minimize golf balls flying all over on the hard garage floor.

I got this net last year for my kids to practice in our backyard and it worked well. We use real golf balls and they use it for all their clubs. The balls stay on the tarp for their swing speeds without bouncing back. The net is sturdy and has held up for its first year of use. It's a great compliment to the driving range and it is perfect for practicing chipping.

They used tension strings in the rods like tent poles instead of interlocking poles with a button, but the tension on the string is crap. This makes getting the tent up without someone's help an exercise in futility. The poles will constantly disconnect while trying to "up the tent". That said, once it's up it's not too bad, but I wouldn't want to try taking it down and putting it back up a lot.It works great for irons and wedge shots but I've had 3 balls so far go shooting through the net from my driver. I'm not sure, as I don't see any damage to the net. It seems like it hit with so much force that it just slipped through.

This is great net. Took a little time to set it up as the support braces fall apart from each other rather easy. Once it was set up though it was great. Turned out that my neighbour purchased the same net earlier.
