Yea I've seen net return a few times, it looks like a nice product - only thing is, it's a foot shorter than the Sim Space or Rain or Shine, and the side net is super expensive relatively, looks like it'll be $800 minimum. I don't see what value it brings over the others at that price, unless I'm missing something?

I tried a few things, I wound up ordering the Vessel Player V Pro with the organizer and immediately realized it does not work at all with more than 9 irons. Bag itself is awesome, and if you look at the cart version (Lux Pro I think?) the organizer and the bag itself is designed much more suitably for more than 9 irons (basically, the heads are arranged differently so the 3 & 4 can kind of freely float over your 7i slot. I'm just not where I can use a cart bag, though I ride most of the time - but any practice session is an issue cuz likely it won't stand on its own and lots of facilities don't have stands for short game practice areas. Also, on the vessel side, the cart bags are only offered in that "tour synthetic leather"... which I'm sure is good but every single piece of synthetic leather I've owned disintegrates with time which I'm not interested in for a bag at all or that pricey. I don't think the Nevr Looz is for me, couldn't find any other current reviews on it and the limited youtube videos didn't instill me with confidence that it would actually work. I think either the Ask Echo or the Ogio is the correct play, Ogio doesn't have magnetic pockets of any kind and you'll be love/hate with styling, and Ask echo actually has some cool colors but the styling is odd. A wildcard option to look out for is the Sun Mountain C-130 hybrid - it's basically their C-130 cart bag without magnetic pockets (for no good reason that I can tell) and a stand. It's just a 14 way top, but the cooler pocket is great, the stand is legit and staggered so it'll sync onto a push cart or electric cart, and I hope that (with the feedback that I submitted to them) they might have a magnetic pocket/silencer version coming. I have been using iron covers in the interim, which are TERRIBLE and I hate myself for doing it - but they do the job adequately.

Not sure if this is the best place for it, but I had a Spornia SP-8 XL as a backyard hitting net, and I was going to pair that with a small launch monitor down the road... but I never got to use it much because, while I loved the net and the portability - anything more than a 7mph wind caused some issues with the set up. For reference, I'm in central TX and some wind is common - I'm a low single digit golfer that basically wants a backyard hitting setup for swing maintenance, and maybe a range simulator to dial in distances. Does anyone have a recommendation for a net that can be outdoors at least a bunch of the time? I was looking at Sim Space, SIGPRO, Rain or Shine... does anyone have a strong recommendation? I'd love to keep it around $500 and have it include a side wall (for those bad days...) - I already have a mat that I like. Thanks all!
