assembly too difficult.

it was great to assemble. There are really only 3 components to setting this up, but it's a tricky one. There are two bars holding the block together, both are the same length and size. The outlines of the fabric are the same at first glance, and the directions indicate this. They are held in place by two triangular plastic pieces. Good luck when everything falls into place without quite a big fight. Of course, they fit well into the sleeves and take shape, but you just have to try to get them in place. We ended up using pliers and a screwdriver (as a lever) to put it in place. It was a huge struggle to juggle it all. In the end it wasn't worth it. Once you've attached it, it's designed to hold the 12 plastic golf balls that come with it. I don't like the feeling they give. This is not what you get on the driving range. The balls are placed on the mat, divided into "rough" and "tee-off" zones. The area is quite small, maybe a foot and a half by ten inches. It leaves a lot of room for error. These bugs are relentless, part of the grass is easily separated from the base. The net picks up plastic balls well. It offers good coverage and minimal bounce. Overall I'm very happy with the whole setup. It was a bear to get together. The bars were too tight to put it all together and the process was a big problem. I ended up wanting to throw real golf balls into a net. It wasn't, and it wasn't worth the trouble.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • almost everything is fine
