The ifrothgolf review
The FORB Pro Pop-Up net in the 10x7ft size, a simple flat-panel hitting net for back garden practice, aimed at anyone who wants to bash balls at home without a full cage.
What's great
For a basic net it does the main job well. Setup is genuinely quick, three poles into angle joints and you are hitting in a couple of minutes, and Golf Monthly found it stable even in strong wind. It stopped every shot they threw at it, and the wide 10ft span gives you a bit more margin for a stray heel or toe than the squarer 8x8. The 420D 3-ply knotless mesh and steel base feel solid for the money, and the carry bag means you can fold it away or take it to a mate's garden.
Worth knowing
It is a no-frills panel, so the real downsides are real. There are no side or roof panels, so a proper shank or thinned wedge can sail past it, mind your windows and neighbours. Reviewers flagged a pronounced backward bulge on impact, so you need clearance behind it. The supplied pegs are genuinely flimsy (two bent going into soft lawn), so budget for proper anchor pegs if it lives outside. No mat included, and the lower 7ft height means it is a hitting-into net, not a confidence cage. Some doubt over long-term mesh wear too.
The verdict
A solid, honest budget net that catches well-struck shots and sets up fast. Buy it for grooving a swing on a flat lie, but ditch the pegs, leave room behind it, and do not trust it to catch your worst shanks.
What reviewers say
Owners like that it sets up in well under two minutes, packs into its carry bag, and confidently stops full driver shots, making it a popular safe option for garden practice. In a Golf Monthly group test the FORB pop-up net was singled out as the best pick for safety.
