FINALLY A GOLF NET THAT CAN BE SET UP TAKEN DOWN AND FUNCTIONS!
June 20, 2017
This was the LAST in a long line of golf nets we tried and returned.

Our goals were easy up & easy down - by one person. Light enough to move without taking down. It doesn't scoot backwards either line some do after repeated ball hits. The only negative is it doesn't capture all the balls all the time. Often the ball pops out and roll back towards you. Someday I'll make a bean bag snake to stop them from rolling under the sofa or pool table!
Really amazing net, I'm glad I went with this one
March 18, 2017
Really amazing net, I'm glad I went with this one. I have the 6x6 size and I am using it for golf practice. It's perfect and extremely easy to assemble, there's no thinking involved in the build since everything is attached with string so it takes the guesswork out of which piece goes where. If you strike the golf ball with any iron above 9 the ball simple bounces from the net right back into your original position. It's perfect. Would highly recommend.

FYI I was hoping to use this indoor but apparently it needs some hooks to be hammered into the grass
but besides that this net is great. It can easily be put up and down ...
July 7, 2016
After shopping around for a few weeks I finally found a practice net that was inexpensive and allowed me to hit all types of shots, from wedges to driver. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to hang the net on the frame without the help of another person, but besides that this net is great. It can easily be put up and down within a few minutes for easy use and storage. I bought this net so I didn't have to waste money at the range all the time and within 2 weeks it's probably paid for itself. The only downfall is one that will come with any net not accompanied by a digital system, you can't see where the ball would end up. I'd recommend this net for anyone who is trying to maximize their practice. I've already noticed an added comfort level in swinging the club. I've gone from mid 90's shooter to low 90's, hoping to be an 80's shooter by the end of the summer.
So-so! So easily set up and so much fun.
July 25, 2015
Would be 5 stars but for the three way connectors which should be treated somewhat gingerly when moving net. If you set it up and don't move it to cut grass 5 stars. If you move it ever so carefully when cutting grass five stars. Just don't let your lawnman lay his hands on it. A really great product. Easy to set up. Does everything it is supposed to do. Highly recommended. On second thought, 5 stars because Amazon sent me a replacement for the one with a broken connector.
Great training gear
January 12, 2015
Bought this for my father as a gift. He's obsessed with golf and this has served as a great training aid. It set up nice and easy and is sturdy and quite handy! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is serious about golf and looking for a driving range experience but can't afford to do it day after day. This is certainly the next best thing!

Excellent quality pitching backstop and hitting practice net
May 14, 2017
Excellent and sturdy baseball practice net. I live in a neighborhood with limited space, so hitting plastic practice balls is about the best I can do for hitting practice with my son. Hitting off a tee into this net has been a huge help. Also, practicing pitching (with the net behind me as I play catcher) has been a big help, too (preventing errant or outside-of-the-strike-zone throws from hitting my next door neighbor's property). Rukket did a great job designing this net -- it's easy to set up and the white strike zone is very helpful, too. Note that after mounting the first (of two) vertical poles (with the pole inserted through the net's sleeve), you'll need to use some force to get the second vertical pole set up. I suggest sliding the net's sleeve through the second vertical pole first...before attempting to mount the second vertical pole into the base bracket hole. There are some great videos available to walk you through the set up. Thanks Rukket! Great quality practice backstop net.
Highly pleased !
April 13, 2017
Absolutely pleased!!!! Very quick and easy to assemble and dismantle for travel use. Light weight and being so allows for easy carrying with other equipment in the bag that comes with it. We use it for both baseball pitching and batting. Be sure to use the ground spikes to help secure the net from tipping over if you are batting up close. We also remove the strike zone netting when we do batting exercises. The frame has taken hits from pitching and batting with no issues.
Best made target I have seen!
March 24, 2017
After reading reviews on every target net I could find, I decided to go with this one. So many others looked good but it seemed the quality was lacking. My son wants to start pitching so I wanted something that would give him some visual queues as to the strike zone. I also like the net so the wilder pitches get stopped as well. This frame and net are extremely well made. The pieces fit together perfectly and it is easy to put together and take apart. Bonus for coming with a bag. I take this with me to team practice and let all the kids that are interested in pitching throw at it. It comes with some anchor spikes to hold the net steady and upright but so far I haven't needed these, even in the strong Oklahoma wind. It has never once even tipped back a little. The other nice thing is I have my son hit into it as well. He is 9 so he doesn't have tons of power but this net stops balls very well.
Solid product, great customer service
June 23, 2016
We bought this for an 8 year old for baseball practice. This is not the type of practice net that is springy so it will not return the ball. The net is loose and will trap the balls behind the black piece you see in the picture. He really likes the target and it is slightly smaller than his strike zone. I have thrown a few baseballs into it (60-70 mph) and did not knock it over. I probably could if I hit the target high but it can be staked into the ground. We have had it a month but I think that the quality is good enough that it will last a while if we keep it inside while not in use.Ours was missing an elastic loop that secures the bottom corner to the frame. We contacted Rukket and they quickly responded to my email and sent out a replacement part right away. I will definitely consider them for any future purchases.
Just what we Needed
May 22, 2016
Spectacular! My husband and I put this together in under 10 minutes in our living room. It was super easy to do and required no tools. The netting is easy to attached and take apart. We leave it put together in our garage so the boys can just pull it out and play. I purchased this for my 10 year old to practice pitching. He's just starting off learning how to pitch but uses this on a daily bases. The coach says its really helped his accuracy. We can't always get out and be a catcher and play with the boys thats when Rukket baseball pitching practice net really comes in handy.My 8 yr old and 10 yr old use this when they play together. My 8 yr old bats with this behind him. Helps my 10 yr old learn to pitch with accuracy providing the strike box over the net. They love that the netting in the back catches all the balls so they don't have to run after them. This is just what we needed to help our boys to go from 0 skill to really excelling past kids who have played for 3 yrs before them. It's a must have for any ball player.
Wish that i had known about Rukket nets earlier...
March 3, 2016
So far, so good.Bought the 5×5 to replace a 7×7 big mouth in the garage. It takes up less room, and does a good job of keeping the balls in place. My son takes 100+ swings a day and I'm the hitting coach for a 10u travel team, so we're pretty hard on our equipment. The material appears very sturdy and the netting seems tougher than the material on our present net (which has copious amounts of Gorilla tape holding it together). Since this net will stay assembled and out of the weather, I expect it to last for many years to come.The carrying bag is also made from a more durable material than that of my other net, (which is also covered with Gorilla tape and looks like black burlap). A definite plus for those of us that use these 4-5 times a week for games and practices. (Set it up, break it down - repeat).All in all, pretty happy with my purchase; which was less than half of what I paid for my other net. I will probably buy the 7×7 Rukket for travel ball practice as my other net is on its last legs.

Great practice net
August 19, 2017
A great hitting net that's easy to setup due to the linked poles and flexible shafts. Wide hitting area minimizes stray balls from escaping. Although most of our backyard is cemented around an in-ground pool, we filled a couple of sand bags to anchor the. net. Only issue is that swirling wind may cause the slack in the net to fly back to you and restrict your follow through. That can be fixed by tying the net to the back horizontal pipe.
Very easy to setup and disassemble
April 28, 2017
Very easy to setup and disassemble. Nice strong netting and I love the ability to be able work on my chipping ability. As someone new to the game, it's nice being able to practice whenever I have free time.
This is a great ball catcher and it's very easy to set up ...
October 5, 2016
This is a great ball catcher and it's very easy to set up and take down. It's nice that this unit has a target mat hanging down to help stop the balls. The only reason I've given 4 starts instead of 5 is the second time I set this up one of the little push buttons that connects the tubing broke. It still fits together and works but those little buttons are kind of cheesy.
Great net!! Satisfied for now
July 24, 2015
Pretty good net! Set up was easy. I'm leaving mine assembled in the garage so who know what kind of condition it will be in after a few months of exposure to the elements. Catches balls like it's supposed to. You get some feed back from the net to tell how well or poorly you've hit the ball. I had it blow over on me twice even with the 4 ground stakes. Might invest in some heavier duty stakes. Other than that, it's great. I was torn between this and the Calloway quad net which was more expensive. For now, this net will do just fine
Bang for your buck
September 17, 2011
I tried $40 and $80 nets in the past that were worthless. They would not stand upright on their own, and golf balls would go right through the nets as if there was no net.Enter the Quickster. What an outstanding product. If you're hesitant about spending extra money for a golf net, not being sure if it's worth the cost because of your past experiences with bad products, jump right on into the quickster with two feet.Setup was as simple as described, the net is outstanding. It stops golf balls from wedge to the driver with ease. You can use real golf balls or the foam kind, doesn't matter. I had a problem with the target when I tried to attach it because the stitching on the attach point unraveled. But SKLZ sent a new one right out. They were very responsive.The frame is well built, you can use it with or without the anchors, but the anchors are recommended if you have it on a lawn or dirt and it gets breezy.This net saves me 30 minutes in driving to and from the range, and I get some good practice in my backyard with the satisfaction of the sound of a well struck golf ball. I actually think my practice sessions are better because I focus more on the swing rather getting distracted with the flight of the golf ball. My ballstriking has definitely improved.For me I was deciding between this net and the Callaway net for $180. If this system didn't work, I was going to send it back and try the Callaway net for an extra $70, but I'm thoroughly happy with this product, and the price is right. I'm going to move it into my garage when it gets cold or rainy. It's very easy to disassemble and reassemble.Enjoy! (Four stars because of target issue. But it was minor. Otherwise, 5 stars.)

Nice net for the $.
July 10, 2017
Seems well built for the $. Easily setup and disassembled. The pitching grid pops off a little too easily. Overall seems like a good value so far.
Sturdy, stable stand
July 10, 2017
Only complaint would be ball travels too far into net, so when you are right behind it with speed gun the pitch will hit you.May be if net little smaller and tighter it would fine, sure you can tighten up net with bungee cords.But overall it is sturdily made, stable stand with lifetime parts warranty with product registration via link from company email.Good competitive price too.
Great product when used at the right skill level
June 18, 2017
Great product when used at the right skill level! Solid steel frame. Durable netting. Used with 7-9 yro baseball team. Will move around if used on smooth surfaces, best on grass or a surface with some friction. Stakes are provided. 7 yro hitting off a tee with the base on concrete was able to move it slightly so added extra weight on base legs to hold it in place. Same results when throwing from short distances. Easy to break down and assemble! Would highly recommend for youth sports.
Very handy product
June 2, 2017
We've used this 3 times so far for pitching and catching batting practice. I have a 12 & 18 year old that are using it. Easy to setup. It is holding up pretty well so far. One of the bungee's that connects the net to the frame at the bottom broke loose and I had re-crimp the ring holding it on. I'm hoping it isn't going to be an ongoing issue.I do wish the anchors were a little better. If you have a kid throwing 70+mph, any low or errant pitch that hits the frame or bottom of the net will knock it loose. The anchors don't hold it in place very well after a few hits nor do the anchors hold up well in a dense clay based soil. Two of them are already bent from pushing them into the ground.Overall, this saves a lot of time since it catches the balls for us. The kids get to practice throwing when I'm not able to catch for them. Also, saves me some bumps and bruises by taking me out of the firing line. The adjustable strike zone is pretty cool. You can turn pitching practice into a game by seeing how many times you can hit the various target squares. Definitely helps them focus on throwing strikes. They also tend to practice more. I wish I had bought this thing years ago. The kids really like using it.
I like the product
June 23, 2016
I like the product, the frame seems like it will last for a while and the net his high quality. It seems a little high priced for what the product actually is, essentially a frame and some fabric....and I like the design, the product looks well made, time will tell on if the $$ is worth it. There is also a functional travel bag that comes with the product for easy transport, it seems like Rukket design takes the time to create functional products!
Poles and frame are good quality. Product was as described
January 25, 2016
This is a user friendly hitting net. We have been using it on a concrete floor with no weights to hold it down and it still works properly. Poles and frame are good quality. Product was as described. This is a good value for the price.The only negative - bag needs to be about an inch longer so the poles fit easier into the bag.I am very satisfied with this product.

Net has 3 holes in it already
August 8, 2016
Had this net since May. It's got three holes in it already. I have never used it outside. I am not a hitting the ball 160mph either. Contacted the company and had to submit some pictures to try and get a new net. We will see what happens. Not sure why the net is tearing. One reviewer suggested it may be the spin on the ball. I like the set up. Hope the new net will be better. Customer service has been good so far.
Great until it breaks!
January 21, 2016
I set this up in my basement with with the 36" X 60" XL SuperMat Golf Wood Tee Golf Mat and the SkyTrak launch monitor. This product worked amazing until it didn't. First of all, yes this net is extremely easy to put together and take down...5 stars for that. I'm giving it three stars based on its durability! I had it for a month hitting real balls before one finally broke through putting a hole in the drywall($10 patch and paint no biggie). I thought it would hold up much longer than this, hopefully I will be able to get a refund because I no longer have any confidence in this net holding up long term. I'm just glad the only casualty was my basement drywall and not a neighbors house or something more serious!I probably hit more balls than most ppl, but I would probably only recommend foam or almost golf balls with this net if you want it to hold up for more than a month or two.
I would like to compliment the ease of assembly and storage size ...
May 25, 2015
I am on my 3rd net. I have returned two after the Nets could not absorb the the punishment of hitting real golf balls into it. The previous two nets both resulted in the nets ripping from full swings with 6 & 7 irons. I have hit full swing drivers into it that it has absorbed however, neither of the first two nets lasted 1000 hits. I would like to compliment the ease of assembly and storage size that the entire assembly breaks down to. The manufacturer also deserves compliments for sending out two replacements at no charge. I like the setup so well that I'm going to try making my own alterations to the net or ask the manufacturer if they would be willing to send me an extra net which in theory should be twice as strong.
Great but not as strong as they say
September 16, 2014
This is a good net and did the job for sometime. It is small and fits in my apartment. I hit at the minimum a 100 balls into this net a day. After about 9 months I put an 8 iron through the net and broke one of my windows in my apartment. I notice that there was some ware on the net in the spot where I hit the ball. This net was kept in doors year around. The product worked very well but the net is not as strong as they say. I will be buying a impact net to place in front of the original net. I would recommend to anyone to get an impact net or put a sheet in front of the net to prevent the net from damage.
Yellow rod adds a big dent every time hit by a ball
March 20, 2014
I had it for a few weeks. It works great.One problem I have: the yellow rod adds a big dent every time hit by a ball. Now that there are so many dents on the curvy rod (the one on the ground behind the net), it may snap any time. I am not sure it has a warranty or it's covered by the warranty.
Easy to setup..Net Quality is just OK.
October 23, 2013
This net is well worth the money. It's easy to setup, easy to take down and it's super portable. The quality of the materials is good, and I can rip drives into it no problem. If there is a wind, make sure it's behind you as the net has a tendency to blow toward you, which inhibits its ability to catch the ball. Also, I bought the 8x8 which is probably unnecessary. the 6x6 would have been a better option because you can take it indoors. I don't ever chip into it, so I don't really get to use that upper 2 feet.1 Month UPDATE:So I've had the net for about a month, and I'm sorry to say that I've already ripped through the with a ball. Fortunately no one was hurt, but it really freaked me out. I didn't expect the net to fail within the month, although I hit about 100 balls a day into it. So I contacted the company, and to my surprise they sent me a new one, free of charge. I can't say enough about their customer service... it's AWESOME. Well, the new net came and I decided to do a controlled test with a single 6 iron hitting 50 balls to see what the wear was like. Sadly, I noticed that the netting was starting to stretch and unwind at the intersecting weaves. It's still holding up, but I inspect it every time I use it. I'm not a big baller by any means so I'm confused as to why the premature wear. That being said, even in that one month, I probably saved $500 in driving range balls. Still worth it.I would suggest you face this net against a fence, or use it in an open field. Also, if you have the case of the shanks, just go inside. This net will not catch those buggers. Happy hitting.

Baseball net Xmas gift.
January 4, 2017
Xmas gift for grandkids. They love it.
just not as stable as I would like it to be
June 15, 2016
It's ok, just not as stable as I would like it to be. I thought it might have some spring to it that bounces the ball back, but it catches it in the net at the bottom. The base almost needs to be staked into the ground to hold it up better if it is windy outside.
Great net, but way too small for high schoolers or high level travel.
June 11, 2016
Great net. Easy assembly. Have to send back though because my 17 year old baseball player and 14 year old softball player's balls kept ricocheting back at them. Bought it for our garage but it is just too little for them. Will be reordering the 7x7 which is what they use for team practices.

I've had this in my basement and haven't used it much but recently got a launch monitor that I've hit 2000 shots on and my last PW shot went through the net and put a hole in my basement wall. I have only used a PW with this net and I'm shocked the netting shredded so quickly. Going to look for something more heavy duty, maybe an impact screen.
Golf ball went right through it after 4 months of use
April 14, 2016
Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He uses it a couple of time a week on average. Yesterday he was hitting balls and one went right through the net and into the (thankfully) empty lot next to us. He took good care of it so not sure what happened. As a side note he did really like it while it lasted though on days when he couldn't get a round of golf in.
Net is a fail.
March 15, 2016
The net is flimsy. After hitting only a couple hundred balls into this net, had three balls punch through and fly into the neighbor's yard. Only swinging a PW at 75 mph head speed. So, not like I was firing a driver into it. I was NOT using the target panel hanging in front, but that shouldn't be required. Love the frame design as far as ease and speed of put-up and take-down and portability. A shame the net is just too cheap.

I purchased this product about a month ago and left it in the package waiting on my mat to get delivered. First use developed a hole and I launched a golf ball through the net. The net does not appear to be very well constructed. I am going to contact Amazon and see if I can have the net replaced.

Not as good as expected

Tips over when my daughter hits balls into it without the stacks. And the stacks are to small and won't hold onto the ground. Can't use it in garage because it needs to be anchored. Definitely needs longer anchor hooks.

DO NOT BUY
September 11, 2016
This product really disoppointed me. First off it is anchored to the ground with metal hooks; a completely useless way of doing things. Everytime i hit a ball into the net the hooks are pulled out from the ground and the net falls over. Also, the balls do not stay in the net. Instead, they fly right back out at me. This product works but is a complete pain in the butt to use. I would recommend spending the extra money on a net that actually does what is advertised to do, catch balls.

This product is very sturdy and easy to set up, but it is not a pitch back as is stated in the product description. If you are looking for a pitching trainer, this is an excellent product. If you're looking for a pitch back, do not purchase this item.

Disappointed. It is flimsier than I expected and the separate pitching target is completely useless. The chords that hold it in place are way too loose and every time my 10 year old throws a baseball and it hits the white target the chords fall off and it won't stay in place.

Poor Quality
April 18, 2017
We used the net for a couple months and one day we were hitting outside and a ball flew through the net. The ball hit our neighbor's house behind our net. There was a hole right where the ball flew through the net. The quality was poor for the price.

The netting easily came apart after a few practices
January 10, 2016
I was so happy to have this net first because it was big, but easy to set up. The pole and the frame were sturdy. However, the netting easily came apart after a few practices. The ball came through the net and broke switch box and made a few big holes in the wall of my garage. The netting was not strong at all and I can't use this net anymore. I was looking for the replacement netting, but hard to find it. The seller must sell the replacement netting Pls check the recent customer reviews before purchase
