Do you recommend a good net to go with this mat? I am planning to use it outdoor and use regular golf balls and not the plastic ones

This mat is amazing. Hits well with either practice or real golf balls plus real tees. And when you strike the ball you can tell if you hit it fat without breaking your arm and you can drive down on the ball. Left it outside in the rain for two weeks, hosed the mud off and it was like new again. Great product

JFN Nylon Golf Practice/Barrier Net, 10' x 10', Black Offered by Lee Fisher International, Inc. Above is the mat I use with this mat. I cannot say enough good things about either product. I use regular golf balls with the net and it performs perfectly. The mat is great also. Tees stand up, it doesn't mark your club, and it rolls out nice and flat every time I set it up. I only wish I bought the 48" x 60" mat. Enjoy!

yes, should work fine outdoors with a net; i use it inside, though, with wiffle golf balls.

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...

I never got a net but you could probably get a decent one from dicks sporting goods or golf galaxy. I don't think I would order one online. Good luck

With a ball like this the beauty is in the detail. With the price your paying trust me you don't o want to spoil the fabrics upon a first outdoor game. Rubber basketballs are best for outdoors. Leather like this should be worshiped are kept for indoors play only.

I only have the 6x6, and think it very adequate for my needs. I hardly play golf and when I do I don't keep score. Seems to make my round a lot happier. I would perhaps count the number of 'good' shots as the best way to measure progress. That aside, this net is just fine for me. I usually hit around 45 balls a day into it, say 5 times a week. I've missed the net 5 times that I can remember. It's great. One of the things I got with it is the PGM3660 3' x 5' Emerald Par Golf Mat. It is very good and very substantial. So I'd recomment the smaller net, and if you start splaying shots wildly, move closer. Just a thought. Jim

Hi, The net would work well because of the adjustable bungee. There will be plenty of room at the bottom so you will have a shoot where the balls will gather (like a real soccer goal). Mine is eight wide, four high, four deep, and it fits well.

I rigged a semi-permanent set of metal poles in my yard and tied the net to it. We have a big yard and it is perfect for us but I don't think it would work for just anyone. As far as setting it up in a park, I wouldn't recommend this unless you already had vball poles and a portable setup. I would recommend something that is meant to be assembled and disassembled and you can find them online and they come with everything. If you can make your own, go for it.

Yes, that's exactly what I purchased on Amazon. Our neighbors gave us a trampoline & I needed to buy a net, just make sure you order the right brand/size to match your trampoline.

Hello, Yes this is a great net for drills. I have an 11 year old who plays year round travel and this is great for throwing & hitting drills. Easy to set up , just make sure to anchor in ground for stronger throws.

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

It is a durable, fairly realistic mat. It won't fall apart and although not like hitting off real grass it still has a good feel. It's not bushy like rough, it's more like fairway length. It's a good product and works well to hit into a net.

I think you can use it for the pool. We have a volleyball area set up in a field, but all parts of the net ,look water -friendly.

We use it for baseball, but it is a very strong sturdy net. It does come with stakes for outside use.

Should be okay because the whole net is encompassed by an elastic. This may be hard to envision but if you put it onto your net frame and let the bottom "corners" of the net pull in, it'll be a nice fit. What you'll see is that the two lower "corners" of the netting will pull in so that the bottom-back of the net area has netting on the ground. Wish I could make it clearer, but I can't. Basically, you should be fine.

Per my husband, "I use regular tees. I actually take a pair of pliers and clip off the bottom of the tee so it isn't so high."He has his mat in the garage and hits into a hitting net.

I've never used a driver with the net, usually practice with 7 - 4 irons. But I don't believe you can put a ball through this net with a driver. What I would be most concerned about is missing the net and hitting the wall behind the net. The net is a triangle shape, so a slightly stray shot can miss the net.

My kids use it for football (baseball too) and it works well but best if you hit the tighter woven area in the middle. If you are looking for something purely for football or baseball for that matter, I would buy a different net with tighter weaving but this one is good for multi-use

The mat needs to be on a level surface. Flatness can vary a little. If floor protrusions are too large, they will affect the roll of the golf ball. Concrete - OK. Wood treated floor - depends.

I should think so... the net supports don't have spikes or anything, they're just a telescopic cylinder with a blunt end but it's the tie down ropes that keep it upright anyways... the spikes they provide with it are about 10 inches long so if you have deep sand to anchor into you may want something even longer to drive into the ground. also the boundary rope doesn't come with very many pins to hold it down so I would advise going to a camping supply store and buying some extra tent spikes to keep the rope line more secure to the perimeter of the court.
