I plan to use this net in my garage, can it stay stable as there would be no stakes to hold it to the floor?does it catch mishit shots, shanks?

Using it indoors is no problem. I used it indoors for a year without any issues at all. You should have no problem whether you are using real golf balls or almost golf balls.

I have one and I laid a piece of carpet in the bottom which helped give it some stability and keeps the balls from bouncing off the hard concrete. I like mine.

I use mine in my basement. It is very stable even without the stakes. Bad shots are usually not a problem. Just stand fairly close and the only issue is if your shot does not get into the air. Grounders will bounce of the base. I have never missed wide though.

Ya inside should work good do not have to stake it. But if you have a shank problem I would use almost golf balls. I use mine outside and put weight on the bottom frame and changed the top pole pins with a small tent stake keeps from letting the wind blow them out. Best net I have had...

I don't use the stakes. I just put a brick on each corner. It's pretty tall so you'll need lots of space in your garage. You can stand close enough so that it will catch mishits except for the worst shanks. I would recommend a really good mat. I got the "4' x 5' Dura-Pro Plus PREMIUM Commercial Golf Mat" from amazon. It's $200 but by far the best you can get. I just recently replaced the catch cloth on the hitting net after 1 year of outdoor use.

I have found you really don't need the spikes. Out of doors it might be an issue as I find mine tends to blow over but in a garage it should not be a problem. I use the small caloway mat (about a square foot or so that I hold down on with a 30 or 40 penny nail. It's less expensive than a bigger mat though you might have problems anchoring it on a concrete floor. Though you could nail it to a large sheet of plywood.

I also use it in my garage during winter months. Very stable and catches everything (maybe not hosel hits). You'll love this..........use a carpet underneath and hit from about 7-8 feet in front and you should be golden. 8 ft net at it's finest.

Yes, it will be stable and putting some weight on the bottom section will enhance stability even more.

It will catch all of your hits including shanks. the net is wide enough for that.

I have two hooked up in my garage. One I use for rope climbing and the other has my heavy bag hanging from it. They both have been great so far. I don't think you will have any problems.

I don't use this for a pond but....When this net arrived I was worried about it holding up against twigs and other sharp objects. I have used this for almost a yeat and it shows no sign of wear. If I lost it, I would buy another as soon as possible. Basically, if you can see it floating on the water, however small, this will remove it. The only downsided is it's size. It is only 14 inches across and I would like it to be a bit longer. Perhaps they are making a larger one now.

Tim, I might add this is a great net, good quality n easy setup. I just taped off a strike zone, 12×12.

not sure what you mean? it's a see-through net and has a fair bit of give, obviously. But it's fastened securely and if you wonder whether anyone will fall through it, then yes, it is "stable"!

The poles are pretty solid when anchored, I've had the net for over a year and have no complaints. It's not made to be run into but could take

Ground staked for it to be secured but the stakes will pop up and the net will continue to fall..

yes no problem. My son actually set this up in our basement and hits into a net

It holds up really well. It actually has two nets. I have literally hit thousands of golf balls and do not have any holes in the first net.

I have not had that problem with my net. But the bottom of the net does slide up on us a little. I am looking for a small plastic cap to put on the end of the pole so I can attached the net to it to hold it down.

Yes this is a great net. I have a crank style mechanism as well and I was able to pull it nice and tight it's been up for several months in all kinds of weather and still looks great.

No. This product won't rebound. The net is slack and effectively stops the ball. It also breaks the fiber glass tension rods after only a few hours of use. I love the concept, but the product is flawed.

The net seems pretty durable but i'm not sure how much weight it will hold. You obviously need some method of supporting/attaching the net above the ground. The net was pretty inexpensive, so I would try it.

the poles are not spiked and do not go into the ground at all. Each end of the net is fastened with tough nylon thread that gets stacked into the ground at two points about 6 feet out from the pole. Basically the net is held up by tension on the end threads. It works very well but does take up some space. Figure room for the net plus an additional 6 feet on each side.

We have used it without stakes on the grass, but it will move around a bit with every throw. I think it would be frustrating to use it on a driveway, unless you don't mind re-positioning it after every few throws.

Yes... Unless you fall into the net. Even then it's pretty sturdy. We filled ours with water.

Maybe if you secure the bottom somehow...gravity is the only thing securing the net to the ground
