Rukket Haack Golf Net | Indoor/Outdoor Driving Practice | Swing Training Aids | 10x7, 7x7 Nets or Protection Sides

Had it for probably a week now, works absolutely perfect, hitting reel balls, very durable so far, so easy to put together and dissemble, the grass that it comes with isn’t great at it’s not level with you feet so a larger turf mat would help. Overall great products

I have owned my Haack golf net for about 1 week. These are my initial impressions. I will update my review after I have used the net more extensively.The Haack is the third golf net I have owned. My last one lasted nearly 10 years and I used it for well over 100 hours. I chose the Haack because I believe it will perform and last as well as the last one while being easier to use. The main problem with my old net was the setup and tear-down time: about 15 minutes to set up and 10 to tear down (my first net took even longer). Generally I would only use the net if I had at least an hour to spend. However, I was always tempted to just leave it set up for several days so I could take advantage of smaller time windows for golf practice. I got more use that way, but ultimately ruined the net by exposing it to harsh weather; it couldn't tolerate the high winds that are common in my yard.The Haack is a huge improvement in terms of setup. I can put up the net by myself in about 5 minutes. The tear-down is also about 5 minutes. This will allow me to use the net for smaller practice sessions while also keeping it out of the weather because I'll be less tempted to leave it out in the yard between uses. Some of the reviews state that this net handles wind well, but I'm going to avoid testing that claim as much as possible.The quality of the materials looks very good. I can't speak yet to the longevity, but I'm optimistic. The failure of my old net was in the fiberglass poles. The Haack net has 2 fiberglass poles, and they're about double the width of the ones from my old net. They likely would handle wind better. The mesh on the Haack net is very similar to my old net, which lasted 10 years (with many, many hours of direct sun) and the mesh itself is still in fine shape.The performance of the net so far is great, with one minor concern: I may miss over the top of the net with lofted clubs. I took a few shots with a 54-degree wedge, standing as close to the net as I could without hitting the mesh with the club. My shots consistently hit the net just a few inches from the top. I decided against trying my 60-degree wedge for fear of losing balls. My old net could contain wedge shots a little better because it had more of a half-dome shape, whereas the Haack is mostly a flat mesh surface that leans slightly toward the golfer. All other shots are contained nicely, except for extreme shank shots (don't ask me how I know this :)). Neither of my previous golf nets could contain those either, so the Haack is at least as good in that aspect. Shots do not rebound toward the shooter; they stay harmlessly inside the net where they're easily collected.The carry bag is nice and I like that the net collapses into such a compact package. Bringing it to a friend's yard or other practice area would be very easy as it's lighter and smaller than my golf bag.I agree with the criticism found in several reviews regarding the included assembly instructions. I wasted several minutes trying to follow them before I noticed that every piece is labeled with letters that dictate the assembly pattern (2 pole segments have the letter "A" at one end, so those ends of those segments must be joined). It was much easier once I put down the instruction sheet.I'm on my 3rd golf net now because using a net has helped me to improve my game. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and I expect to use this net for many years.

I had the Rukket tent-like net that you have to twist up to store, and it became unusable in short order. So I was a little hesitant to order another product from them. But I'm glad I did, because this net is great! It takes me 7 minutes from the time I grab my gear in the garage to when I'm hitting balls into this net. And it takes only 5 mins to take it down and put it away. (It takes a little longer the first few times you set it up and take it down, but then you get the routine down and it's faster.) This net is really easy to setup and take down, and the storage bag is roomy and well made. The net frame is solid and well built, and the net is very good quality.Rather than setting it up every day, now I'm just leaving it outside on my back patio setup and ready to use, so that I can go out and hit a few balls every hour, while I'm working. One thing to be aware of though, is that a moderate breeze will blow this net over, so if you're going to leave it up, you might want put some weights on the front corners. (I put a 10# sandbag on each corner.)The unit is good at returning balls as well. I use the hard-foam practice balls, just to be safe, and they come back nicely and under control. I tried hitting a few real balls into it, and it works, but since I have it set up on concrete, the balls come bouncing back rather wildly, forcing me to scramble to try and catch them before they go bouncing across the yard. I did not have this problem on the grass, of course. (But my wife complained that I was smashing the grass with my big feet.)This net may cost you just over a hundred bucks, but it is worth it. The ability to work on your swing whenever you wish is priceless, and the dozen sessions at the driving range you won't be paying for will pay for this net. Plus, you only have to hit as many balls a you feel like, rather than hitting a whole bucket. (I'm old, and even a small bucket of 40+ balls wears out my back pretty quickly.)As I'm still a beginner, I wish this net as about 2-4 ft wider, as I've hit a few that entirely missed the net. Even though my swing has gotten better, and those stray balls are less common, I still would gladly pay more for a slightly larger net. I'd love to hit real balls into it, but I'm just not confident that one of my occasional strays won't take out a window, or kill our cat. So, unless you're quite sure about your accuracy, I'd start with practice balls.
