Gagalileo Golf Hitting Net Backyard Driving: 12x7FT Professional Backstop with Silent Velvet Target Portable Practice for Men Dad Complete Sport Set Gift

I highly recommend this product. This is the second Galileo practice net. The first was set-up outdoors and after 2+ years of use finally needed to be replaced. I bought my current net to practice hitting irons in my garage. I've hit thousands of balls into it over the past 10 months (purchased Aug. 2022) and the net has taken everything I can send at it. I don't always hit the target so the netting strength was very important to me. It has withstood ball speeds of 125 mph. There are 3 weak points... (Based on my first net which was used outdoors for over 2 years) 1. After months of use a topped driver shot tore through the plastic flooring where it attaches too the netting. Once the tear started there was no stopping it. Over time the plastic bottom at the back was completely detached from the net. The net was still useable however topped balls could fly under the net. 2. The material used for the top. After a year of sun and rain the roof material failed when a miss hit 7 iron broke through. Like the floor once the tear started there was no stopping it. (Duct tape couldn't hold it together.) 3. The target. The description says it is for designed for practicing chip shots and other low-intensity shots so I cannot fault Galileo for the failure. What I can say is they replaced the target no questions asked. They also followed up with an emails making sure that I was happy with their service. I am! I found a way to use the new target without ripping through. I hung a thick cloth (painters tarp type material) behind the target. It has been a couple months now and the target has withstood over 2000 impacts with ball speeds up to 120 mph. I suggest pairing with a launch monitor to track where your shots would end up on the course. I was hitting the center of the target from about 9 feet away however, due to ball spin a shot can be significantly offline. The combination of the Galileo net and launch monitor has allowed me too practice with purpose and improve my game. The net paid for itself by eliminating just a few trips to driving range.

I've been using this net for almost 5 months in my back yard. Have hit thousands of balls into it from wedges to drivers--mostly 3-4-5 irons. It is holding up very well and I would rate the durability as excellent. But I'm 77 and don't have the swing speed I did as a youngster. So I don't know what would happen if Bryson Dechambeau unloaded a driver into it. It was easy to setup (with a little help from my wife) in under 30 minutes. And it stays in place with the tie-downs that are provided. While I have it on grass, it could easily be set up on a hard surface such as asphalt, concrete, or inside your house (if you have the space. On a hard surface, you may not be able to use the tie-downs, unless you jerry rig them with some heavy object to help stay in place . But the tie-downs aren't required as they are mainly to keep it from blowing over in a strong wind. The only drawback is it takes a big space. But that is also a plus if you have the needed space. I had one minor issue and when I contacted the company (Galileo), their response was rapid and exceptional. I don't know if this specific item is still available. But if not, I'd have confidence in buying a similar item from them.

In trying to attain that repetitive, consistent swing, I knew that I needed practice. I grew tired of going to the range or pooching short approach shots in im back yard. In using the Galileo driving Net, I am able to take full cuts with my driver or really any club and hit into a wide net. The hanging target provides some acknowledgment that your shots are centered. With one person, set up is about 15 minutes and with two, probably 10 minutes or less. I would recommend the golf mat with the purchase, but one could use tees and set up in the lawn. If you stake the net out properly, wind should not be a factor. Also, it seems best to use the foam golf balls. The target is somewhat thin, and regulat golf balls will probably tear the target. Reasons I did not give 5 stars are 1) the purchase is new so I cannot vouch for its long tern durability but I will say that it gives every appearance of sturdiness. Again, this can only be answered through long use; and 2) the target could be heavier to allow for the use of regular golf balls. Again, this product a practice vehicle whose value is tied to setting it up and practicing. It is great sub for the range and for improving your swing motion.

I have been hitting into this net in front of a Skytrak launch monitor for about two weeks and the impact material has held up well including a lot of full swings with the driver. You have to stand a bit close if you want to hit full swings with your wedges but it will catch them. A pretty decent option especially if you have limited space. Update: 10/10 for customer service. One of the fiberglass poles split at the end, which destroys the pole and causes it to splinter into nasty shards. This is the case for any fiberglass pole. They reached out to me and after a very short, polite exchange, they sent a whole new net free of charge and told me to keep the original as spare parts.

Overall the net sets up nice and I think it would work fine for someone with lower swing and ball speeds. I swing my driver around 120 with a ball speed in the 170’s. I blew a hole in the provided target with my 8 iron one the first day. This was not all to big of a deal as the target caught the wind too much causing the net to blow over and ended up snapping the poles. I managed to repair the pole to keep using the net and i discarded the target all together. The net itself lasted awhile however I hit a low bullet with my 3 wood that came out a bit low and ended up hitting the net nearer to the stitching. It tore a hole in the net as pictured and the ball launched through the net, through the tree branches behind it and hit my neighbours shed. Again I think if you’re not hitting the ball as hard as I am or if you hit it hard but are always able to hit the center of the net and never miss hit the golf ball then this net would probably work fine. If you’re like me and can hit the ball pretty solid but don’t have tour level accuracy then you may want to look for something more durable.

Using this net along with a Garmin R10 and homemade stance mat to play backyard golf. Used a handful of times so far and no issues with wear and tear. Took a bit of time with initial assembly, but I keep it mostly together for temporary storage, just disconnect the poles at approximate mid point and fold together. Impact sheet stops balls dead, no bounce back, but it does disconnect from the provided loops on the net fairly often. Overall decent net.

Opened the package and put together the brand new net and realized there was acouple of holes in the mesh. Very unable with that.

This golf net is very good for practice golf. but golf target is too week. the golf net is already tear. I bought jun 14. 2022 Do i need buy golf target or can i get warrenty ?

This product could not withstand a little wind or rain. The poles are bending and it now has a hard time staying up. It was defective but the seller has contacted me and is replacing the hitting net. I have to say great customer service.
