I constantly get asked what practice net I can recommend. Usually, I’m hesitant because almost all of the budget nets I’ve tried are junk. However, one product caught my eye last year, but I couldn’t get my hands on it because it kept selling out.
Well, it’s finally back in stock, and it lived up to my expectations. Find out more in my latest review.
Just read your review and it came just in time. While spring is here, so is the rain, so practice is still happening mostly indoors for me. Plus I work from home and like to get a few swings in over lunch every day. My Haack net isn’t cutting it anymore. It’s massive at 7x10 and after one year the netting is starting to fall apart.
I was between the Net Return and the Spornia and I think you just made my mind up.
Thanks again @jon !
no problem! I think you’ll really like it. As I said in the review, I absolutely love my Net Return, but I realize it’s a really steep price. I think the Spornia makes sense for most golfers because it gets you above the budget level without breaking the bank.
Good review, as usual, Jon. I have had mine in the garage now for a month. I keep the top pole installed, remove the two side poles and store it upright in the back of the garage. Then I can drag it out and install in a couple minutes. Fortunately, my garage ceiling is 12 feet. The extra side nets have come in handy:). You are right about the lack of extra loud noise. When I come into the house after 40 minutes, I get no complaints about booming or loud cracks from the spouse.
I was trying one of the cheaper ones you see on Amazon last year in the backyard. I hit my driver twice, felt like my eardrums were going to explode, and then it ripped.
Saving up for net return
That looks like a really nice net. The Spornia was on my radar, but I ended up getting a really good deal on a Rukket Rukknet pre-Covid and I’ve been very happy with it.
I bought a Galileo, not very expensive. I tied an old bed sheet inside the frame to muffle the sound as a beat my brains in and it might disturb my neighbors…works beautifully. The target and stuff that came with the set-up…NAH! ripped apart…I don’t need the target anyway…I do utilize the PRGR alot and it’s great!
In high school I hung a comforter over my closet and would hit full shots into it. Then I sh*nked one through the wall, and that experiment ended real quickly 
Very good review, @jon! I have a Spornia as well, and I think it’s a well built, quality golf net. It’s really helped me change my focus during practice and pairing it with the Divot Board has been money.
Awesome - two solid products right there!
You broke a wall, my dad woulda broke my a$$…lol there’s a reason golf is outside…holes in walls is the reason!
Sorry guys, haven’t posted for awhile but constant lurker. I bought the SPG-7 Residential Bundle in December and the net is excellent. Quick set up and take down, although take down takes a couple of tries before you acquire the skill 
I use it in the garage and it’s design catches the balls before they can bounce on concrete. No issues from driver through wedges. The mat is great as well, just a good idea to put some type of cushioning underneath it between the mat and concrete if you’re going to hit a lot of iron shots. Paired it with a Flightscope Mevo ( not +) and the set up works really well. I have a dozen ProV1s that I put the metallic stickers on that are dedicated for garage practice with the Spornia. Happy consumer…
I went ahead and ordered the compact net. Arrived the next day (benefit of being in LA with an LA-based company I guess)!
Turns out they packed the standard size poles instead of the compact ones. Sent an email and got a reply in 10 minutes that they were sending me the correct ones (tracking number included).
I could actually kinda/sorta make it work with the incorrect poles. Immediately feel like this is a quality product. Plus, that’s some fantastic customer service as well.
My one recommendation would be use caution when installing the roof poles. They are a tiny bit rough around the edges and can cause a hole to form in the sleeve.
That is incredible stuff
Just got a new Spornia net, and it is great. Even the first time using it, it only took me a few minutes to set up and take down. The only thing that gave me any problem was the thin rod that supports the upper roof net. Since it’s a collapsible rod with the elastic band inside, it tended to come apart at the joints as I was trying to push it through and snagging on the fabric of the sleeve. But I set up fairly close to the net and even with a 58 wedge, I was nowhere near the top of it, so maybe I won’t even bother with the top net. But overall it seems very sturdily built. And the impact net/cover is quiet on impact and seems pretty heavy duty.
I’m planning on getting one in the new year. Just debating between the compact or full size. I’d prefer the full size, but it’ll be a snug fit between the width and height (if I use the top net).
