Net or full enclosure
A net catches the ball. An enclosure catches the ball and gives you a projection surface. If you want to see a course, you need the enclosure. If you want to groove a swing and get reps in, a net does the job for a fraction of the cost — and you can add a portable launch monitor later for data without changing anything else.
Ball return
Nets with automatic ball return roll the ball back to your feet after every shot. It sounds like a small thing. It isn't. It roughly doubles the number of balls you hit per session, because you're not walking to collect them. The Net Return range is built around this.
Sizing and safety
Net width dictates how much error you're covered for. A 7' net is fine for a controlled swing with a wedge. A driver from a golfer having an off day needs more.
- Compact and mini nets — chipping, wedges, controlled full swings.
- Standard 8'–10' — the sensible default for full swings with every club.
- XL and side extensions — wide misses, shared bays, or peace of mind about the wall behind.
Side net extensions are cheap insurance. Add them if there's anything breakable to the left or right.
Build quality
The netting spec is what stops a ball, and cheap netting fails suddenly rather than gradually. Everything here uses high-impact netting rated for full driver speed. Pop-up frames like the Spornia range set up in minutes and fold away; fixed frames are sturdier for a permanent bay.
