Can real golf balls be hit using a driver? Will the balls go thru net?

The few I hit with a driver did not go through; they just made the net fall down.

Yes, no problem. I position my hitting mat about 20 ft. away from the target flap with no problem. I'm hitting a Callaway X-hot with a club head speed of around 105 mph. Target absorbs a lot of the energy before ball hits net. Net has proven to be very durable and handles driver, hybrids, irons, and wedges without failing. I'm very satisfied.

Yes, I use real balls, that's the point. Get an astroturf matt to hit off of, one that also holds a tee. You'll have to adjust so that you do not hit the frame on your follow thru. I live in downtown Charleston, SC and use this in my driveway!

I've had the net about 6 months and have been hitting a 6 iron and a 3 wood into it on the average of 15 minutes 2 or 3 days a week. Absolutely no signs of wear. It's especially effective if you hit the hanging Calloway banner because that absorbs the shock and you don't even hit the net.

The Callaway Tri-Ball Hitting Nets are designed to support REAL golf balls.

Yes, I have been using real golf balls with no problems. I have only been using it for a few months, so I can't see any wear on the netting.

Possibly, but there is a slight delay showing the hit. If your shot is quick, then you should be ok.

The golf balls are actual real golf balls so they can do damage to floor, walls, etc.

I wouldn't see why not, as long as the grass isn't thick enough to push the net down around the ball.

Is this actually a real question or a joke? The black net I have deposits nothing on my balls at all, and if you are getting black on your clubs from hitting the net, you're doing it wrong...

I'd say it does about 95% of the time. Depending on the club, the ball can sometimes catch on the bottom of the net (higher lofted clubs that produce more spin tend to hit the top of the net and roll down getting caught). Additionally, the ball can sometimes return to you at an angle depending on where you hit the net. Balls hit to the right side will return more to your left. All that said, I've been very happy with the ball being returned to me. It happens way more often than the ball not being returned.

Haven't used mine yet but according to literature, you can use it with functionality without hitting a ball. By the way you can still hit a ball indoors by just using a net to prevent damage.

You should never use real balls with a Jugs wheel machine, this or a more advanced model for the following reasons:1. The leather balls will get torn up very quickly.2. Real balls will wear out the rubber contact pad on the machine, which will require replacing the entire metal plate (the pad is NOT sold individually and is bonded to the metal part)3. Real balls are not perfectly round and will result in unpredictable wild pitches, which is dangerous at even medium speeds.

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.

The ones I got were real golf balls; but there are also soft, foam I think, for indoor play. This is an excellent outdoor game for all ages!

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.

Yes, absolutely. That's actually all I use with this great net. Great for hitting full shots, driver through wedge, through pitch shots. I love this net. Takes a few times to easily fold up but once you know the way, simple.. Have fun with and tune your game.

Shafts depends on swing speed and ability. I suggest you go to local pro and have him or her measure your swing speed. Buying wrong, either way can result in bad day on the course. Good luck.

We bought the light, white plastic balls that are advertised but tennis would prob work. If you don't have netting though, the heavier the ball the farther into the neighbors yard it will go and more damage it could do. Just saying.

I have not tried it w/ regular balls. I currently use practice nerf balls, however, the net is strong enough of regular ones as well.
