Driving nets / cages .... need advice

[inthehole]

I'll be buying a driving net / cage & like the idea of a collapsible one that folds up fairly easy (not sure actually how easy any of them fold up).      i'd bet these aren't as good as the larger heavy duty ones, but I'd love to hear from those that have bought these nets & their experiences - thx.

PS - I know they don't give you alot of feedback as to ball flight, but I think it would be better than hitting wiffle or foam balls.

PSS - Ease of set up is important to me, as I won't be able to leave it up permanently - if it's a PIA to set up or put away every time I want to use it, I probably won't.

I've got one that is 2 fiberglass rods that hold the netting up (from top view would look like an X, and from front it looks like ^ but with a rounded top). Initial set-up takes a while, but after that it's just pushing the rods into the ground. Unfortunately, the rods don't like to stay in the ground. Pricier modes are probably better, but they would probably take more time to set up.

I bought one similar to jamo's and after usage of half a summer, I drilled a hole right through it from hitting, luckily it didn't hit my neighbors. haha! So, that ended that.  I'd definitely go for a more heavy duty one if your going to be using it a lot so it doesn't brake on you, regardless of the time it might take to set up.
