Just a basic question in the title. I got a net return and net guardian and just wondering if I should put the net guardian where the driver impacts the net or where the wedges impact the net. The driver obviously has a faster ball speed but the wedges spin much more when hitting the net. I’ll of course try to use non scuffed balls.

Does driver or wedge do more damage to nets?

When I used a net, it seemed that the most damage occurred higher up where the wedges would strike. Even using brand new balls, a well struck wedge will chew up the cover...combine that with a 10,000 rpm backspin and that's what causes the net to fray.

I would say that it would have to be a higher lofted club. My wedges don’t hit the screen and so I can’t comment on wedge impact. I think you have to make sure you take out golf balls that show wear early as a bad ball does much more damage.

Depends what you are using the net for. If you are just whacking balls then probably the wedge. If you are playing sim golf then the driver simply because you may be hitting 14 full bore drivers while the amount of full bore wedges, which have a lot of spin, are usually minimal

I was going to vote wedge and I have some evidence from wearing out holes in my Rukket net in the location that my higher lofted clubs strike. However, Ronsc1985 makes a good point. Someone like me that practices much more than I play rounds will do more damage with my irons than with a driver. If you're like Wizard of Coz that plays rounds all the time you will hit more drivers than a max wedge shot.
