Thought it would be appropriate to write a review on the 1st year anniversary of buying my Spornia practice net. At this point in time I have driven over 30,000 golf balls at the net using my sim set up, so it has had extremely good personal use. Located in my garage, where it is not exposed to the sun or inclement weather, it is set up for use full time so not packed or folded away.
After all this use it still looks like new. I have two spots at the top of the net where the nylon weave has broken off the frame structure (see picture), i believe this is from lofted shots repetitively striking roughly the same spot. The curtain that hangs within the net is showing moderate wear on the logo, but the material itself still looks like new (see picture).
The feature which pushes the balls to the front of the net, effectively a sloped floor created by a bottom net, works terrific. Retrieving balls from the net is a breeze. I have side netting to catch errant shots, as well as an overhead net to prevent lofted shots from finding their way to the drywall, but the Spornia net is wide and tall enough to catch all but those few total mishits. The arched top piece works great at catching chip shots. My net is 10 feet from the the mat I hit from (tee to hanging curtain).
Overall, I give this product a full 5 star review. I will revisit again in another years time.
