NetReturn Nylon Impact Screen

[Stiggity]

thanks for posting this video Shardak. how far away is the net return from your ball position?

I think this is the new material...its very fabricy...I think the old material was more like plastic.

Mine had 2 velcro straps in the bottom corners to attach to the netReturn.

The alignment mark is just a small red bit sewn in between the 2 top center straps. I assume its there to help get the screen aligned correctly, but not really sure. It was helpful when I hung it up.

Sorry just reread your initial post. Clearly we have a different screen. Mine has no center alignment or straps at the bottom. Odd. Mine ruffles a lot when the ball strikes it. Good news is that with the delay from the Skytrak by the time a shot is shown the screen movement has slowed a good bit. If I had instant shot display from a gc2 this wouldn't be a good combination IMHO. I slid a few alignment rods in the bottom slot which helped a bit but major movement still there.

Is this the new net return fabric? If so I just installed the same this past weekend. My first screen from net return resulted in any wedge or short iron shot the ball would ricochet into the ceiling. Not so with the new fabric. However I don't have any way to secure the bottom of this screen. How are you doing that? Mine came with velcro straps on top nothing on bottom.

This is the new nylon NetReturn impact screen. Its a little bit loud, the video makes it seem louder than it actually sounds in person.

Decent quality fabric, very easy to install with sewn-in velcro straps across the top, a red centering indicator, and 2 straps on the bottom corners to anchor and tension it. I had just installed it prior to this video, and have not messed around with tension yet, probably need to tighten up the bottom corners and maybe loosen up the top a bit.

My only concern is that the ball does jump off the screen a bit. I may need to play around with the tension, I have it pretty tight across the top. Some high lofted wedge shots did deflect upwards. I do have a homemade frame attached to the top to catch any high shots. 2 foot by 8 foot 1.25" PVC frame wrapped in a bed-sheet. Total cost to make = $20 at home depot, and a wife to sew up the bedsheet so it doesnt look totally crappy.



I shot about +20 this weekend in the Honda Classic tour..I am sure this new screen will drop 5-10 stokes off my rounds next week.



I think my garage simulator is pretty much complete at this point. My next upgrade will be a house with a basement, where I have enough room to get a big wide-screen hitting bay.
