I didn’t know if this was the correct section for this so move if needed. I am looking for a portable golf net. I see the Spornia is highly rated, but not available.
For those that have nets indoors do you have any issues with practicing wedges with them? I hit a high ball and I’m worried that I will pop it right over the top of the net into the ceiling.
Is there any other nets that are portable and similar to the Spornia that I could try to see if they work with my swing.
Thanks!
I have a Rukket Rukknet that I use in my garage and in my backyard. I bought it a couple of years ago and have been happy with it. It pops open quickly and folds up easily. It’s pretty tall so as long as you’re close to it and don’t lay a LW or SW open you probably won’t hit over it. The Spornia looks a bit nicer, but was about $100 more when I bought the Rukknet.
I’ve looked at that one as well. What I probably need to do is try one to see if I have an issue. I hit both 56 & 60 degree wedges.
I tried to get my wife to stand in front of me to see if I hit her or hit it over her. For some reason we declined. 
I don’t usually hit LW into the net so it hasn’t been an issue for me. I did want to see if I could hit it over the net one day and I was able to open the LW and flop it over. Usually I just work on longer clubs with the net, looking at face contact and swing speed (PRGR). Net quality is very good as I pretty much left it outside for 2 summers and it’s still in great shape…it did become a leaf magnet in the Fall though lol.
I’m intrigued by this as a way for me to improve without going to the range. Do you mostly work on hitting the ball crisp? Do you get any sense of direction / length etc? One reason i ask is that I’ve been out of commission with a pulled groin muscle but I’m taking it as an opportunity to improve my chipping and short game. Despite annoying my old chocolate lab’s favorite napping place, just hitting chips on the carpet has actually been pretty helpful and I’ve debated the use of spongy practice balls vs a small net to hit longer shots.
For me I do work on solid contact and tempo. Many times I mainly hit balls with my feet together and swinging L to L. I tend to overswing and lose control of the club at the top so I mainly focus on tempo and a more connected swing. It helps, but I really do need to get to the range more. I feel like the net is really useful (especially in winter), but then the next step is the range and then taking it to the course.
The Spornia is prob the best, but obviously has become super popular and hard to get… The “roof” add-on for it is a MUST!
Another good net - kinda similar to the Rukket - is the SKLZ Quikster. Different sizes available, durable, quick setup and takedown.
I was hoping to use a net just to sneak out into the back yard when I had time. I would use it in conjunction with my Rapsodo which I like a lot. If I found this type of practice beneficial I was going to upgrade the tracker. First I have to get the net.
I already practice chipping in the backyard, but like to do that sort of practice without a net. I work on where to land the ball. The yard isn’t large, but I can get 20yards or so without issue.
