I have the SKLZ quickster golf net and a thicker high impact golf net.
One of my biggest concerns when using my other nets is whether the next shot is gonna rip through the net. I've put a ball right through a thicker high impact golf net. Luckily it was in the garage and ball was contained and nothing damaged or anyone hurt. I haven't put a hole through my Sklz Quickster net yet, but when I use it I now put the second net(with patched hole) behind it to catch any ball that might tear through the Sklz net. This makes setting it up more tedious. I was looking into getting the Net Return which gets good reviews but was concerned I'd still wear a spot in it and eventually put a ball through it. I was also looking into an archery type impact/mesh panel which seems to be stronger and more durable.
The Spornia net has an impact panel that takes the brunt of the impact. But it also has a regular net behind it, which can act as a back up and catches errant shots that don't hit the panel. The impact panel itself seems durable and is more of the mesh/archery material as opposed to typical square netting. The impact panel is also replaceable which should mean that this setup can theoretically last a much longer time. It takes full Driver swings very well.
Other nets also return the ball to you. However the Spornia net also has a net on the bottom which keeps the ball from bouncing and rolling on the floor. The benefit of this is that you don't need to put a carpet or padding underneath the net...to prevent damage to the ball or the floor.
It comes with side barriers which seem effective in catching errant shots and most shanks. It is VERY EASY to setup and take down. Taking it down was a little confusing the first time but as soon as you figure it out, it shouldn't take longer than 30-60sec. Honestly it seems it take longer to put it into the included carring bag than it does to set up or take down. It has a white line down the bottom which is a nice touch and helps with alignment. It also helps me to make sure my SkyTrak is aligned as well.
Concerns/thoughts:
1. It's not as tall as other nets, so you can't really take full swings with higher lofted wedges. The bottom netting also prevents you from standing RIGHT in front of the net...which could allow you to hit those higher lofted wedges on other nets.
2. It's not as wide as my Skilz quickster net....but that's really not an issue as you only hit into the center of the net anyway...and the side nets effectively make it act like a wider net.
