I bought this golf driving net to replace a different brand I bought 3 months ago. The other brand was of similar size, but semi-circle in shape. The other net required me to assemble a 10ft + fiberglass pole that was divided into multiple 12-14” sections and connected with elastic bands…and thread this long pole thru the perimeter of the semi-circular net. Then, I connected the pole/net assembly to a triangular base that consisted of 9 pieces of metal tubing. Finally, I staked the old net in place, and in 15-20min I was in business. The old net’s internal poles started to crack and it didn’t hold its shape after 3 months of use and about 400-500 shots. After each range session, it took about 10-15 min to disable and put back in the bag. About 30 min of my time was spent assembling and disassembling the old net. (The brand of the old net was similar to the name of an ancient astronomer)Now for the new GoSports net…The GoSports net is 100 times better.- it goes together in about 5 minutes- the base consists of 5 steel tubes that are snapped together and covered with, what seems to be, a durable powder coating. 5 pieces of tubing are much sturdier than 9.- the 2 vertical end poles are much thicker and each only consists of 2 pieces. The end poles are 2-3 times thicker than the multiple piece sectioned frame of the old net.- The net attaches to the frame/pole assembly in no time.- this new net anchors to the ground very easily.- I didn’t use the enclosed target that came with the new net. I actually used the larger target that came with my old net (the only part of the old net that was of high quality)- the GoSports net disassembles as quickly as it goes together.- the GoSports net DOES fit in its zipper bag. Those who say that it doesn’t don’t know how to pack anything away.So far, the GoSports net has seen 200+ shots and there has been no wear on the net. It probably helps having the 2’ x 3’ hanging target from my old net hanging from the GoSports netting. Although, the GoSports netting does look very robust. Very high quality. The old net I had took 30min out of my practice time to set it up then put it away - the GoSports net takes me less than 10min total time to set up and take down. That’s 20 more minutes to practice.1200-1300 balls later…The GoSports net is still going strong. No rips in the netting and no cracking in the fiberglass poles. The GoSports net is still performing like new!! I have my setup time down to under 3 min and my disassembly time is around 3-4 minutes (takes a bit longer to fold the net and pack everything in the bag. The bag is still holding up with zipper intact after 6 weeks of setting it up and taking it down.No issues.15,000-20,000 shots later (about 2 yrs of use, approx 25 days per month, approx 75 shots per day, 5-6 months each year)…-the net is still holding up strong. No tears in the net (105-110mph ball speed with 7 iron & 135-140mph ball speed with driver — I am not a long hitter). I do still have the 2ft X 3ft target hanging to help absorb some energy from the ball. No major rust on any of the metal tubing sections & the welds at the corners are still holding up. The Velcro on the sides of the net is a little less grippy, but still holts the net to the side support poles. No rips or tears in the bag yet and the zipper is still holding up fine. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻So far, after 2 yrs, the net has been a great value. Now on to a 3rd season. 😀
