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.

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.

Precise. They Are cheap clubs and I have had 2 heads come off on my irons. Drivers are ok still.

I suppose, You would have to play around with the speed and height, not sure if you could consistently get it right over the net with any kind of speed.

No, just the club. But I'm hitting the ball well. This is the first driver I've hit that my banana slices has been straighter.

Depending on your stance I see no problem. Its a great set of clubs, As a lark I used my 5'2" wife's driver and burner in a a tournament. On the par three to win the car, I placed 4" from the cup. Yup, I planted it with the hi loft driver with a slow half swing. Everyone was amazed. I used the driver on the next hole and out drove two 25 year old hockey players. Being 58 and golfing for years we were all amazed at the drivers performance. For the money you cant do any better. I play high end clubs and highly recommend this set of clubs for beginner to intermediate players.

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.

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.

I was afraid to hit anything less than a 7 iron.. That's why it sucks. Definitely no on the 60. I would have to test with foam balls to get and idea where your trajectory is. 8 iron and above you should be safe. I'm a 4 handicap so not terrible.

I have only used it 10 times and have not used a driver only up to 3 wood. But the net appears to be very durable

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.

Absolutely. It was made for real golf balls. All others are just a bonus. It's high grade and virtually indestructable.

Yes. It's works great with real ballsI usually hit irons into it but have hit 3 woods, hybrids and drivers

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

There is an inner net and an outer net, any club is safe to use. I have used driver with no problem, just make sure you actually hit the ball INTO the net!

You have to hit something, but what you hit does not matter. I use foam balls indoors and it registers everything form full swings to chips. You can also simply make contact with the ground, but I have to imagine this throws off your data a bit.

Yes tap the driver to the base that's on your belt then you have about 60 sec to hit the ball. Only need to tap once per club.
