I have #2. Its been brilliant, its huge. But i had it facing the other way to the video. It lets you have it a little closer. Also stake the back of the net down at the back so you get some sides to hit into. So Joe should probably retest that one facing the correct way. May seem pointless but having a big wide net and no poles in view makes you feel safe. Last tip. Align the middle of the mat to the left of the net. Any shanks will be caught.

Love your dog running to pick up the ball after you hit 😂

Nice! The doggie is having fun, too. I hope your wife plays golf … She’d love it ⛳️

The doggie is the real star of this video

Joe The Pro, great review, nice garden, adorable dog. Hopefully a guest appearance on DHG sometime?

Yay Joe the Pro on KZfaq again 😊

I had one similar to the Gagalileo. The target screen didn't take long to break on one of the attach strips, then it was curled up in a fetal position begging for me to stop hitting it. My advice is spend that bit more on something of better quality. 👍

I purchased one in the style of the first, this spring, so far, it has been satisfactory; but I have only had limited time to practice with it. the practice mat the one I bought left a lot to be desired, though.

Nice video, appreciate the reviews. Just want to add some additional info regarding the Spornia. I purchased the net without the mat as I already had a mat. That brought the price down considerably. Your review was on point regarding initial impressions of the Spornia, there are a few more points to potentially consider before purchasing. Also, I want to add that this is from my point of view, someone else's point of view may be different. First is the manufacturer warranty, it is too short for the price point of the net. Second is longevity, the net set up easily and worked really well for a good chunk of one season. About 5 to 6 months into using the net it began to show unexpected signs of wear and tear. I only received about a year of service before the net was no longer serviceable. I believe that UV sunlight (California) was a significant factor plus taking it down and storing it put too much strain on the fabric containing the supporting rods. What made it pop up so easily also made it problematic if you aren't very, very careful when returning it to the carrying bag for proper storage. Over time the fabric could no longer contain the support rods. When inserting or removing supporting rods (for the very top net) the user has to be very careful not to push too hard if there is a snag either during insertion or removal. Another factor to consider, but easily manageable is wind, if the net is in use on windy days, it will put a significant strain on the entire net structure, fabric and supports. This is easily remedied and taken care of by removing two supporting rods and laying the net down. The user just has to pay attention to the weather and not leave it unattended in windy conditions. After the net began to show signs of wear and tear is when I went back and checked the warranty, by then it was too late. I do not like writing negative reviews but in this case, I thought it might help someone considering a purchase. I also want to say it is a terrific piece of kit when set up and working properly. It does a great job of containing very hard-hit golf balls and erratic shots. It can be set up to return balls directly on to the hitting mat if you take a little extra time.

You have the Forb new backwards. I owned the first net and it's a pain to take down. I stall have the Forb that i can put up and take it down in a couple of minutes. It's well worth the money.

Joe the pro!!!

How much is the brown/white ball retriever

As someone with experience hitting into a golf net in my basement (with multiple holes in the walls and ceiling, 1 broken window, and 2 broken flat screens to show for it), here are my 2 cents: #1 is too narrow (even pros shank every now and again) and way to short for wedges (I've cleared a 7 foot net from 6 feet away with a 54 degree -- ref. those holes in the ceiling); #2 isn't going to last and its not the driver that will do it in...its the high spin shots that tear it to pieces (fwiw: I have a better quality version and punched so many holes in it that I had to buy another and then cut the original up to make panels to protect the new one); #3 is a great net with the side panels and roof installed but that mat is not going to last (unless you are a picker) and if you use it on a hard surface is going to give you lots of wrist/elbow issues (I started with a similar mat and upgraded to a top quality 1-3/4 inch thick 5x5 mat pretty quickly).

We have recently produced a batch of green golf cages, the price may be higher but the quality may be the best on the market, interested customers can come into the store to have a look.

Your wee dog 😍😂😍

Always liked the look of the Spornia. How much import taxes did you incur into the UK?

Gosports Range Cage is the new winner, it has the top for wedge shots, only $300 with a screen. It's big though, so it'd be an alternative to #3

Does the mat fit in the bag with the net?

I'd really avoid any with a bar across the bottom. If you top the ball along the floor you could end up with a hefty dental bill.

You can get the forbes net for £70 and costco do an exact same one for £65

I would need one in the shape of a half sphere… I just don’t trust myself!

Use foam balls instead of real golf balls,makes all the nets super safe.

taking these down and repacking is a major factor in buying for me, why didn't this review include this?

Are you going to tell us which one was a bargain?

Pounds or bucks?…. 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Gagalileo very cheap! The net will not stop any balls. The baffle hitting target is the only quality item in that practice net.

Would be nice to hear about potential indoor garage style set ups seeing as winter is upon us again 👍🏌️‍♂️

screw the review, your do is a hit!

It broke down and ripped in 8 months. No warranty coverage. Save your money.

Pounds are also available 😂. 100% made in China?

Strange you paid in dollars living in the uk

Why in dollars ? This is England.
