4 out of 5 stars Good for What you Ask   September 13, 2009

Mine did not come with instruction so took for a while to figure out how to put together, still have some parts left that I don't know where to go... but however I did, it looks like what's in the picture and works very well for my purpose. I am a 2 handicapper (I guess I'm a pretty serious golfer), I use this net to check my swing with video (great camera I also bought on amazon... "Kodak Zx1" which takes 60 frames per second -normal cameras only take 30 fps-). It's just so convenient to have this in my backyard so I can review my swing on the big screen TV in the house and come back out to do more work and so on.... It will not work for someone who is concerned about how far and which direction the balls are going, you may want to go a driving range instead, but this is a great warm up tool for someone who haven't played for a while to get your body used to the motion. Design could have been a bit better, but I am happy what I got especially for the price.

This item is not for someone that wants it setup in a couple of minutes. The items they give you, to setup the net are a bit cheesey. With some mods to the device, it would be just OK. I sent it back.

Good instructions, might have helped in receiving it. Pictures always work!! =)

Here is an example of why reading reviews before you purchase is important.

Hope you have time and energy and maybe YOU get the "how to" instructions to put this thing together. If you are not adept at assembly, frequent IKEA stores, or (a must) have someone to help you to assemble this beast - forget it. If on the other hand you do have patience, buy it because it is a good deal and a helpful golf aid. (I sometimes think my game may be improving) If you get the thing assembled, the use of rubberbands helps to secure the poles to their most inadequate pins. We are currently making peg extensions in the hopes that the net stops jumping out of the ground with each ball hit or hefty breeze. And if your net arrives sans instructions, don't bother to call or contact the manufacturer as this appears to be a discontinued item and no one seems to give a rats a**. I have given the product 3 stars because I have licked the beast! HA take that!

easy set up(with two people)but hard to stay in place, after several "hits" the force of the balls "pop" the poles out of place and starts to collaps, also no instructions as to set up, have to view with picture on box to get the set up.


2 out of 5 stars Not extremely portable   July 26, 2005

Positive:
-Size, good surface area
-Chipping net

Negatives:
-Poor instructions
-Very hard to set up by yourself. Really takes 2 people, because nothing fits tight, so as you try to get one side in, the other side pops out.
-Nothing locks in. Plastic caps to hold rear poles don't fit tightly. The 'male' sticks that go into the 'female' section of the rear poles are not tight, so a wind from the rear pushes it over.

I have had to make some modifications to this item to make it usable. I taped some eyelets to the bottom of the rear poles and attached to ring with caribiners. I've had to tape the caps onto the top of the rear poles and add some tape to the ends of the front pole to make it snug.
