I think this one is my favorite. I think it's time to break out the Mevo again.

Why didn't I think of that? PVC as a frame for a net.

Because it bends and cracks easily.

I tried it.  @iacas is correct and if you hit the frame, it will break.   I speak from experience.   That's why I bought a real good net.   I haven't been able to practice lately though..  😦

Mine is a year old, and it's worked out great.  I did use 2 1/2" pipe, so it's really sturdy.  The only things that have broken is the cable ties that I have used to attach the net to it, but I buy them in bags of 1,000 because I use them to attach the desks to each other in my classroom... which obviously isn't happening any more this school year.

You should try galvanized iron pipe. I bet it makes a cool sound when you hit it with a ball 😜

I kind of hate it when you post screenshots of things instead of embedding them and I click on the play button. Every. Single. Time. :pound::-D

I tried embedding, it wouldn't embed. Something not working.

I got a typical rukket golf net but the important pieces are the split cement block for my stance and the shed for the backstop. I’ve hit a ball through a net before so I figure a shed that I don't care too much about will suffice. The width of the area is spot on. Any shanks will hit the fence so I'm safe there.  I have the block for a stance a) because of the mat being slightly raised and b) to keep me from taking too wide a stance. It’s split because of it smacking the ground after I dug a little spot for it. F611B9F8-6E3C-45CA-BF15-074F89FC9F34.thumb.jpeg.9fd765e28117ad02dd686584e2101b3b.jpeg

When I read this, all I could think of is Chubbs's hand....made of wood...real sturdy.

    • Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.
    • Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices. 
    • Day 576 - 2026-04-30 Put my playlist on and slowed down a little as things were meh. Mostly got to an exaggerated P6 and hit from there.
    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
