I have a 9 x 7 net that works well, but the nylon netting looks to me like it will eventually break and I will hit a ball through it. I have neighbors directly behind the net and dont want to put a ball through a window. I want to put some material in front of the actual netting, to take the brunt of the hit and to slow the wear and tear on the actual net. It needs to be about 7-8 feet long and about 4 feet wide. Any suggestions? Should I just get some more heavier duty netting and double it up?

thanks

Anything you hang in front of the netting will slow the ball sufficiently to prevent rapid wear of the net. You could double the netting, or hang any kind of material directly in front of it. Even a sheet/blanket would do the job.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Exactly what type of material would be best? You really think just a sheet would work? I could hang a piece of material about 4 x 4' where I hit 99% of the balls. I doesn't have to be as large as I initially stated.

A cloth tarp would be perfect. You may get a bit of a "pop" when the balls hit it, but it will take wear on the net out of the equation.

No good. I want to hit at night and my neighbors won't appreciate loud pops!

get a block of foam or use an old crappy pillow. they'd both be pretty quiet on impact.

i have a driving range set up behind my barn. a combination of a rug and moving blankets. its about 10 ft high and wide which allows me to stand back aways to hit shots. no neighbors near by if i miss

You could use a canvas tarp? I am not sure how it would sound but they are very durable.

I've seen somebody use an old rug to stop/ slow down the ball. It worked very well as it didn't wear down and ites very effective

    • Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.  
    • Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day. 
    • Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine. 
    • Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣
    • Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
