Practice Net for garage/backyard

[acrosley]

I know there's about a dozen or so Golf and baseball nets on Amazon and elsewhere. Anyone have any specific recommendations? Seems like they range in price from 30ish-80ish and not sure if golf vs baseball net is better for catching frisbees.

I'd primarily be using it in the backyard but would also like to use it in the garage so 7' x 7' most likely

I've had the 7x7 one for a year. I use it a lot. A LOT. No issues yet. It does need some space behind it because it will teeter a bit after contact is made.

Check out this YT video from Bodanza Disc Golf. He compares the Skillz Baseball net to the Visionary Disc Golf net. He includes setting them both up as part of the video.

My grandson has a baseball net, and his is springy. I've used a golf net way back when, and would probably be good enough for a disc. A few years ago, I bagged an object course than played around a soccer field. There were portable soccer nets for practice, and I threw a few discs to warm up, they were airy and allowed the disc to travel several feet, before the disc was snagged by the net. I would go with the soccer net, amazon has them in various size.

I have thrown at the soccer net on the nearby field and accidentally hit it. It goes right through.

Currently I use a bed sheet hung on an old swing set. It works fine but the disadvantage is you can't set a radar gun behind it.

I had the same issue, but not by using it as a practice net. I was on a course where one hole is played over a soccer field (when it isn't in use). There's a light pole for a mando that requires you to throw over the field. My disc made the mando but when it was fading back it went into and through the soccer net. I was concerned that my disc may have torn the net, but luckily it had just passed through an opening.

I wouldn't want to use a soccer net that wasn't mine though. If you did damage it, and were seen, you could end up having to buy a new one.

He does say that he wished he had gotten the 7x7 size. Big positive, was he really liked that the center, of the disc golf designed one, catches the disc and lets it slide to the ground....so you don't have to reach in like a bag to get your discs.

I agree. I don't want to take any chance of getting disc golfers kicked off the field either. Also any time I'm there I pick up any trash I see.

I just made my comment because somebody might buy a soccer net thinking it would stop discs. It doesn't seem to. The holes are pretty big and stretchy and a disc does usually go through.
