I think a comment touched on this. Has anyone used this net to stop lacrosse balls as a backstop? I'm not sure if that is a worse impact than a golf ball.

I haven't, but a golf ball is traveling approx. 150+ mph when it hits the net. How fast is the lacrosse ball going?

I bought this nt and it works really well for golf balls however after a few months I put a couple of golf balls right through it I called them back and they were glad to replace it with a 24 gauge I have no problem as of now I love this net

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...

That's what I use it for. I hit irons and drivers into it from about 10ft in front of the net. Never had a ball go thru it. But then my drives only go about 225 yrds so dont know if it would hold a drive hit hard enough to go 300 yrds.

I haven't had any trouble with the net. Not sure what others were complaining about. We love this trampoline and highly recommend it.

My swing is only around 90 mph, if I miss the Callaway target nothing exciting happens. I don't think it would be a good idea to depend soley on the net. The more expensive nets have bigger, better target material to stop the ball before it gets to the net material.

Yes it is definitely small enough for golf balls. We use it as a lacrosse goal backstop but have also hit golf balls into it. No issues.

If you're going to shoot actual ice hockey pucks hard & fast, I would expect the net to rip. We shoot hard roller hockey balls & the occasional hockey training biscuit and it's durable for that.

It worked well with a softball/baseball. Have to order another one because it broke but I thinks it's more dup to user error than the actual net.

Space between the net strands are 1-5/8" and do not deform much so that spacing should hold tight.For comparison, a lacrosse ball is around 2.5" in diameter which is just smaller than a baseball so I think a lacrosse ball would be fine.

This is NOT a good net for that.. it is tight and will kick the ball back to the source. I would recommend getting some TCB balls. This is what I use for front toss and I coach 5 teams ages 7-19 they work great and no fear of getting hit/hurt

We bought the net and used it on an old post that still has the crank style mechanism. The poles are about 30 years old. We did not have any problems.

I'm thinking it could probably work for that. It's not a super strong net and can rip if pulled on too hard. But, I'm guessing a baseball would be rounded enough and have enough surface area to distribute the impact, that the net would probably be able to withstand it without puncturing. But this is only a guess on my part. For it's intended purpose of keeping birds out of my strawberries, blueberries, and grapes it works really well and it durable. :-)

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 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.

Virtually impossible that this could happen. Secures to ground with stakes and the netting is super flexible. It is as if it grabs the ball and throws it back.

With the equipment the manufacturer has provided, not a chance. Even on a lawn, the stakes are useless. I suggest doing what I did: If you have a couple of large boulders on your property, lay them across the rear horizontal frame. They will keep the net from moving, and they will not interfere with the net itself.

The net has enough flex that it absorbs the energy of the ball.. I believe it comes with stakes too, but I have never used them. This is not going to give you fast bounce backs like other types of devices do, it will be a slow roller back towards the pitcher.
