Wish I'd bought one sooner . . .
Review by ALAN H. on 17 Jun 2026 review stating Wish I'd bought one sooner . . . I'd been wondering about buying a hitting net for several months, but never got round it until recently . . . I wish I'd bought one sooner!
I watched a YouTube video featuring the FORB ProFlex and liked the neatness of it and its functionality - she could certainly hit a ball!
I set mine up in the back garden, initally facing a fence with large conifers behind (just in case).
Setting up took around 5 minutes and was very easy to do.
I soon realised that I didn't need that safety guard of the fence and moved it to sit diagonally on my lawn, where I could use it in two different ways:
1. as a dedicated hitting net for my driver/irons
2. as a 'backstop' for chipping practice, placing two large garden buckets at around 20 feet and 40 feet to aim at
You know if you've hit the ball well (or not) with a driver or iron, but there's nothing like seeing if you've made the intended distance on short shots like near-green chips.
In a session I'll typically hit around 50 balls with irons/drivers, then a further 150 using wedges.
What I've stopped doing spending time and money driving to my local Range and spending £10 on 80 balls.
Results?
I'm hitting cleaner and longer shots with my driver/irons and have improved my short game; my rounds are now more predictable and enjoyable, oh and I've reduced my Handicap!
I've attached some pics - it was a sunny day and the parasol was perfect!
