Besides the golf target &amp; size, is there a difference between this quickster and the baseball quickster net? Can this net be used for other sports?

Aloha Bryan, Not familiar with the baseball quickster net, but I am also using this net for soccer for my daughter. And it works well. As for baseball, I am pretty certain it would be ok too. The net seems to be pretty strong and had enough give to make sure the baseball will not roll under the net as it comes to rest. I would be feel comfortable using it for baseball. Thanks

The device measures ball speed only. if you are asking, how far does it take for the device to decide the speed, i'd say 10 or less feet. I first tried it hitting into a net and I was only 10-12 feet from the back of the net. It gave me readings. It does not measure spin or launch angle. It makes an assumption of the launch angle based on the club that you enter. For example, if you enter a driver, it will assume that the ball is going to launch at an angle of 9.5 degrees. It does measure the speed that you hit the ball, not the club head speed, but the ball speed. It is highly inaccurate and a piece of junk in my estimation. I took it to the driving range and compared what the device said to my Bushnell rangefinder - a very accurate device. The ES12 was rarely correct. I returned it and would not recommend it.

There is no differences in preformance. It is if you like a more cushion feel or a not when you make contact wth the ball. I personally like the thinnest grip to feel immediately how the ball made contact with the bat. I would say Miken, Worth, DeMarini, Louisville Slugger all use a grip similar to Lizard Skins 1.1 mm. Easton uses a thinner cloth-like grip.

Perfect for soccer, May not be big enough for football kicking. There is an 8' net for golf that would give you great usability.

BigShot, It is only 6 feet deep in the middle. It could actually be placed in the corner of a yard or fence. With a similar width and height I have found it plenty big to hit any club. With the high lofted wedges you may need to set up a little closer to the net, unless you hit the flopidopolis like Phil the thrill! Good net, i highly recommend it. it is my second net. The first one (made by another co.) ripped apart after several of our windy storms. To prevent that happening this time secured it with additional spikes and rope. You may want to do the same regardless of your net choice.

Not like and Easton or DeMarini...has pop out of the box but would recommend using it to hit ground balls etc to help its cause...

Honestly, I use a 15 lb ball. Most people will tell you to use the full 16 for carrying weight on the backend, but because I don't play full time or many leagues at once, I tend to find myself really tired going in to game 3 if I use 16 instead of 15 lbs. I can adjust my ball speed to make up for the pound loss in "hitting power". Plus, I've noticed over the years that the differential numbers tend to be higher in 15 vs 16, which gives you more hook.

Good question. I really don't like this device, but the short answer is....it might. It's just annoying. As I said the review, the balls get stuck in the shoot and they don't really come out in a predictable rhythm. Of course that's fine, since the idea is to stride and load and be ready for any type or speed of pitch. The ball does drop fast. Feel free to email me if you have more questions.

I recently purchased the Callaway Quad net and it works great with regular golf balls. The 8' net is large enough to hit wedges if you stand close and strong enough to hit drivers into the target area. Quick note: I would be careful that the driver hits into the target and not directly into the net as a friend of mine put a hole in his...

Yes it is definitely small enough for golf balls. We use it as a lacrosse goal backstop but have also hit golf balls into it. No issues.

Yes works for baseball and tennis. Needs to be in line with the ball coming at or going away from it otherwise angle error will degrade accuracy.

I'm not sure, as I have not seen the baseball net. The net and the poles are pretty flexible and they "give" when the ball goes into it. The weight difference between a golf ball and a baseball would concern me, for fear the golf net might not fully contain a baseball. Without seeing the netting on the baseball one, I am just guessing.

Official size goal .. the back stop netting seems to be large enough to stop most missed shots. great for the money. only problem is that the netting will tear on back stop. wish it was heavier duty

I would 100% concur with what JP said. If you want a machine that throws considerably further, buy the Champion model that only throws singles. That machine will launch them closer to 100 yards
