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...

I have no problem all balls stay in net. I removed the target because I was wearing a hole in it? Try removing the target to see if this resolves the problem.

I noticed the same thing, I have found that maybe 1 in 10 stays in the net. I thought about removing the target but I don't want to wear through the net, I might place a board across front of net to hold the balls in net area.

I have this model and love it. Unless you download the map (free) for the course, you only get yardage to the front, middle, back of green. However, if you download the map, you will have a curser you can move and receive the yardage to that spot. For example: you need to know how for it is to the creek that lays ahead; place the curser at the front edge of the creek while your standing next to your ball and you will have the yardage to the creek. Note: you can only download maps on 50 courses but I play a lot of golf and this seems more than enough. I don't download the map for course I only play once. I have this model and love it.

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.

There should be a read.me file on the disc. "Also look under options. This is a very intuitive game. You have to have patience with the putting. Difficult to learn the pace of the putts.

That puzzeled me as well. The picture here shows it facing the other way. When I received it I put it on the way it had to go, used it and then began to wonder why it was "backward". Took it apart but realized there is only one way it goes. My issue is that the balance seems off, bag tips over too easily if it shifts while I play. J

There are two nets that the ball would have to get under. The first one, the black replaceable one, is a few inches longer than the distance to the floor. The excess net lies toward the golfer making it virtually impossible for a ball to get under it.

My does the same thing. On pass side it goes up then come down 1st time then I hold the up button till close. Driver side most of the time it goes up and stay. I too the corner pcs out still the same.I just live with it. I do not know.

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.

I have used it 10 times and it has not lost its shape like the Nike Net did. But remember when the net does not want to fold just lay it down, line it up and disperse the net so that there are not thick collections. Sometimes you might have to do it twice. Also, I live in Indiana so I make sure that I keep it inside when it is cold outside to make sure that the frame remains flexible. Yes. I plan to hit hundreds of balls into the net this winter.

It's adjustable, so you can pretty much practice all the line drives and grounders you want. However, the net area is a bit smaller than would be ideal and my 10 year old misses the net from 15 feet away about every fifth throw. If I had to do over again, I'd look for something with a larger throw area. Hope this helps!

You can adjust the speed and frequency of the balls firing out. But when you set it up it doesn´t change itself during the play. Also the direction is still the same at this model.

Nope! Have found no issues at all,.... at the range or in the field. I set mine up to the best of my ability,then took to the local pro shop I use and they did the final needed adjustments for me. I really enjoy this drop away.

I had no issues. My clubs were in my golf bag and I use bubble wrap as a buffer between the exposed shafts. There is an external strap which tightens to immobilize any club movement.

Hi siddharth Gupta, just to add a comment about the machine, when I bought it after 4 times I've played it the control box broke down and can't work anymore. So make to sure you buy from a local authorized dealer who covers any repares for you. Pay abit more it's better. If not its very troublesome to communicate with the direct dealer to send back your part to them and you have to pay for the freight. So far I'm loving this machine. It really helped me to improve some of my techniques. All the best.

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 :)

I've had mine for almost a year now and the ball joint barely moves. Granted, I very rarely adjust it. I'd think the more often you move it, the looser it would get. But, mine has been in the same positition this whole time and it does not move.

I bought our own turf. I prefer a softer surface, and likely the "fat" shots may be a bit masked, but I would rather save my joints from impact and the net return is an awesome way to practice at home. I use it daily.
