Just purchased. Setup was easy. But when practicing with driver, the ball hits center of net and rolls back to my feet. Thought it was supposed to stay in the net area? This happens with irons also, but mainly notice with driver. common issue?

I assume you have the black panel attached that runs across the front bottom. If I uses it on my concrete driveway they may "bounce" or roll out sometimes.... hasnt been a real problem for me...

You can make it work. The way we did it, was to use something to prop/hold the net more upright. To get consistent ground balls without propping it upright, one would have to be extremely accurate with their throws, hitting the right part of the net (very bottom or very top). Another option is to have the thrower back up pretty far, but again, then they would need to be accurate enough to hit the net from a longer range. My 6 year old still misses the entire net from 40 feet, every once in a while. Hope this helps. My sons are in love with this thing.

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 believe it's under the umbrella of Callaway; like Camero is a Chevy? I love my clubs the "name" doesn't mean anything to me, they have improved my distance and accuracy! Taking lessons for chipping and putting! FUN!

The hitting mat included with the driving net is 12 inches by 24 inches. It included 1 - 2 inch rubber tee and associated hole in mat. The mat, in my opinion, is designed for using the driver and not designed for use with clubs that would take a divot. Hope this helps

I am a new player, so don't have much experience for comparison... I can put forward spin and back spin on the ball pretty easily... The package does dent the racket a bit but it comes out with use pretty quickly. cushion is significant in my uneducated opinion; easy to dampen the return; if anything I have to make sure I give it enough sometimes. I believe an experienced player could apply good control with the racket. We are very happy with them I believe any next upgrade steps for me would to build out my own racket from a blank as the really good players do.

Anything is possible but if you are the proper distance away from the net, you would have to miss hit really badly. I have hit over a thousand balls and never came close to missing the net. And my net shows no signs of wear. I think it is a great tool.

When I ordered mine "all" flex's were available. There should be boxes next to the picture of the clubs. Just click on the flex that represents the senior flex and see if they are available. That does not seem to be the case at the moment. I just went to the link and only the regular flex is available. I know they come in other flex's but it appears Amazon is out of stock. Also, make sure you need the senior flex. I suggest you go to your nearest golf outlet and ask if you can check your swing speed to find out which flex is right for you. Too weak a flex will cause shots that tend to fade and slice. Keep it in the short grass. When I ordered mine "all" flex's were available. There should be boxes next to the picture of the clubs.

Send it back to the manufacturer. It is the best golf tool I have ever owned.

It does not work that way! it measures the ball speed as it passes the monitor. So you chose 6 iron and hit 6 iron. It tracks all your shots against your 6 iron. It does not know the loft of your 6 iron.

I find the same problem. I did not expect the Golf Buddy to be precise in the first instance. To have better precision go for the range finders. The distances can also be affected by the changes made by the golf courses but not updated by Golf Buddy. You should let them know if that is the case and they update these courses very promptly. I am quite happy with the Golf Buddy's accuracy of up to 10 yards give or take.

Well, most of the fairways I'm used to are really short -- this hits about the same as those. It still feels like an artificial mat, but it's nice because it's heavy and doesn't shift around. You're not going to get the same feel hitting off a mat as you would hitting off grass (divots, cutting under the ball, etc.) but this is as close as I've found with a hitting mat that I can take with me and prevent damage to my lawn while hitting into a net. It performs better with my fairway woods and hybrids than my irons, but I still use this to practice as well. Hope this helps.

What Jackel said. Steel irons and graphite drivers. I've had mine a month or two but still haven't played. The Kansas weather has been hokey, but now it's getting time :)

It's good for drive smashes but not so much for very strong loops. The red side being slower with more spin and the black side being faster with less spin on softer shots, but about the same amount of spin on harder shots (thicker sponge possibly on black side, but I didn't measure). Hard to get enough spin on the very strong loops. I had to take off some speed from that type of shot to get the ball to arc enough to consistently stay on the table. I have a Donic Baum Esprit with Bluefire M2 now, and it's much easier to get the spin right and keep the power on the shot.

You need to hit something firm. A practice ball works as well. Just swinging without hitting something won't register anything on the app. Hope this helps.

Hi Nancela, After the first fill, you'll need to occasionally add air to the ball. Once you settle on a good PSI you should use the gauge to test if it's where you like it and maintain that setting.

As far as I can tell from using mine you have to hit something. You might be able to fit something other than a real ball but the capture triggers on an impact. When doing practices swings I do occasional hit the ground harder and it triggers. You might be more consistent with that than I am.
