If we wanted to use it with a stake in the yard, would it work? (I am concerned about the neoprene part being kicked instead of the ball only and altering the way it works...)

Neoprene does not get in the way. We have no problems. It has a fastening hook to the belt. It could be put on a stake with a little care. I have 8 of them with no problems.

Neoprene is not a problem and following your question, I think - you have to ask yourself - what you want to improve (handling, receiving, dif. kicking ...) and choose the correct exercise.

It will for a bit in my opinion but it shouldn't be uses on an outdoor court. If you want to play outdoor's buy a indoor/outdoor ball, that would be the beat option for you.

Probably. With it you can 'feel' when it hits a ball that you can't see. And if you get lucky, you can pick it up and bring it in. I succeed about 80% of the time with balls I can't see in muddy water, half buried, etc. If your mud is mostly clay, and the ball is stuck in it, it may not work. One caution - don't extend it completely. About 13 of the 15 feet are good. The last two are weak.

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.

My opinion - I doubt it very much as it is basically 'a tent' . There is no weight at the bottom to hold it onto a surface, that is why it is staked. If and I mean if there is NO wind it might stay put for a time but once the wind starts I think it would take flight. Hope this helps.

I don't know. I gave it to my 2 year old great nephew for his birthday and he was pushing it on the driveway after I gave it to him. He was enjoying doing that. If it doesn't work on grass...comprise would be... honey, you mow the driveway and daddy/mommy will move the grass.

Yes, I think it would work fine either way. It doesn't seem to take very much movement to register strides. I can't say for sure, but in my opinion after using mine, I think it'll work just fine.

It will function without being staked or weighted, but for peace of it is of course better to do so. One thing you should know is that the product dimensions with thetomorrow recommended fall zone is 18' by 18'.

The device mounts on an alignment stake. I guess you could then put the stake into your golf bag, but the problem would be getting it level. I keep an alignment stake in my golf bag and simply attach the device to it and then stick the stake in the ground on the golf course. Takes less than a minute to do and works great.

You would totally be able to handle it. It's super light and maneuvers well. However, the battery life would probably not hold up to 8000 sq ft. We had a 3000 sq ft lawn (took it out this fall because of the drought in ca) and it would take me two days of charging and mowing to get it done. The battery was just not great. I was able to extend it a little by taking the bag off of the bag and mulching the grass, but it still didn't last for the whole lawn. And yes, the battery sits on top and you just pick it up with the handle. Super easy.

Yes, if you use something to it weight down where the stakes would be used.

I'd be a little concerned about it if there was any wind. While you can stake it down I don't know if it will hold if it was windy. Hope this helps.

Not sure but I think the type of ground makes a difference. Some grass/dirt is softer and will make the stakes move more. Ultimately you should hammer it in as far as you need to in order to secure the stakes from moving when you tighten the net.

No, it doesn't have sufficient structural integrity to manage the weight on its end, particularly if in motion, I do not believe if you were static and simply using it as an extension it would do so and remain extended. I think it would if static, used once or twice, yes, but I would not consider it a viable option for field uses over time

It is too bulky to work with football cleats. You would have a really tight fit and probably be very uncomfortable wearing it.

it is a plastic stake, make you a starter hole before you put it in the ground and you will have no trouble

I have it in a completely fenced backyard with bushes and flowers in it so I don't have that problem. I needed to plant in a place where there were too many roots to dig so I used this in that area and it has worked great.
