Golf Practice Nets – Practice Your Swing Anywhere
The golf practice nets available today differ not only in their shape and size, but also on the frame and the
ease or difficulty with which they can be taken down and put up. There may also be different materials on the net
itself and the net’s borders.
The first factor to look for when shopping for a portable golf practice net is whether it is easy to set up.
Some nets actually require two people in order to set it up, and although this may imply durability, it can also be
a detriment if the net cannot be left up for a long period of time.
Most portable golf practice nets today come with shock-corded fiberglass poles and ground stakes to keep the net
in place. These are especially useful in bad weather or wind. Also, most nets are now made from a durable,
long-lasting nylon mesh and the packages will also come with a target as a backdrop. A bag allows for easy
transport and storage of your portable golf practice net.
Of course, the larger the golf practice net, the less chance of danger and damage from balls that miss the net.
Many nets today have a backdrop safety feature and are wide enough to capture even the most errant shots. They
often come with an overhanging top, as well, for additional safety.
Many of the newer golf practice nets even have a ball retrieval mechanism where an area at the foot of the net
gathers all the balls after they have been struck. This can be a significant time saver.
Many golfers do not require a portable golf practice net, and in this case, it is possible to purchase a more
permanent fixture. These frames are often made from steel, and can be essentially a large open cube.
They usually are available in a standard size of 10’x10’x10’ or the larger 20’x10’x10’. They come with dense UV
treated black netting and a baffle of heavy duty archery netting. A target is also included with these nets. These
types of nets are quite similar to those found at any local driving range.
The right portable golf practice net allows a golfer to essentially have a driving range and the ability to
practice anywhere there is enough space to do so. The only way to improve at golf is to practice, and a golf
practice net makes it easy. With no more trips to the driving range, the golf practice net will end up paying for
itself in no time.
Another benefit is that you can practice with any club, from the pitching wedge all the way up to the driver.
And the targets that are included with the golf practice nets allow the golfer to judge the quality of the shots,
as well. Since most of the portable golf practice nets are safe for either indoor or outdoor use, a golfer can
continue to practice all year long.
