Amazon.com Product Description
Refine your golf swing without heading to the driving range day after day with the Izzo Giant Jr. hitting net. 
The Giant Jr. hitting net lets you practice your golf swing in any open space. | Equipped with premium mesh netting engineered and tested to be the strongest in golf, the Giant Jr. is big enough to catch any shot (from driver through wedge) and tough enough to withstand even the most piercing drives. At the same time, the net is still small enough to fit in most backyards, with a footprint that measures 9 feet wide by 7 feet tall. And when you're done practicing, the net collapses and fits inside a nylon storage case (included), so you can easily store it in the garage or take it on the road. Izzo also sells a slightly larger version called the Giant.

 too much bounce April 21, 2009

This is a great, durable, punishable piece of net. I bought one on January and it lasted almost the whole year. You might say ,"just a year"? Well, I never put the net away..rain and sun, sun and rain...the net didn't give up! Sure it began to tear from some points (straps) after a while but never the mesh. I hit this thing everyday of the year, at least 75 to 100 balls daily; 6 iron, 4 hybrid, 3 hybrid, driver. I changed my hitting mat twice before having to change the net. The only con is that the ball bounces back more that I like. If you set it up in grass there is no problem because the ball is not going to roll back to you that much, but if you have it on solid surface like I do, set a trap behind you or be ready to chase that ball...No risk of injury because the bounce is not hazarous..is just anoying having to chase the ball. I would be nice if the net traps the ball and lets it drop straight down. Before this one I bought a Wilson net that made the ball drop straight down after impact but it lasted no more than 3 months. After 3 months of use the ball just went thru the mesh! fore!!!
Another pro is that you can hit virutally every club with to it; yes wedges too. Just be sure to get closer if you are going to hit wedges against it.

Good-looking, easy to set up. Big problem, though - hitting driver or 3, 4 and 5 irons, the ball comes flying back at you and if it doesn't hit you, can end up 5 feet behind you! This is ridiculous! I'm looking to modify this thing with some sort of hanging baffle net to catch the ball before it ricochets.
 Very disappointed May 14, 2010
L. Brown (California, USA)
After thoroughly researching golf nets, this one by Izzo seemed to be the best one as far as price, features and reputation. I am thoroughly disappointed. One would think a 'pop-up' net would be fairly easy to assemble, but this was a horrific struggle. You will need more than two people, and make sure they are strong. It took two of us more than two hours to get the net assembled. Within the first five minutes, the stress on the fabric from the poles already tore through a hole in the bottom "foot" area of the net, making it pretty useless. By the next day (with the net having been only stored upright in the garage - no use) the stress from the poles snapped two of the buckle togs used to secure the poles to the netting. My son used this net once, and it has sat in the garage unused since. A definite "no-buy" rating from me.
