The RukkNet Golf Net is simple to set up and also fast to take down, generous in size, durable, light-weight, and versatile. It pops-up instantly to let you practice anywhere. Use it indoors or outside, in backyards, basements, garages, on patios, or at wherever you can fit in hitting a few shots!

​The RukkNet is ideal for perfecting your swing when you can’t make it to the driving range or the practice ground at your local golf course. The ball returns after each shot so no more bending down or having to carry a bucket of golf balls. Stay in position and find your groove., it’s also a great tool for warm ups before a round.

The RukkNet is made from high quality netting and a durable spring steel frame (no more fiberglass poles). The net is double stitched and built of the heaviest materials available. In other words it is built to last. Carrying case is thick canvas with double zippers for long life, capable of carrying a hitting mat, golf balls, attachments and a golf club, it also has a thick comfortable shoulder strap for long hikes to your favorite practice spot. Very portable at 14 lbs.  Folds flat into a 32″ diameter. ​The RukkNet now comes with a 4 ply knot-less ball returning net. No more mesh like cheaper golf nets. Knot-less netting allows the power from each impact to disperse efficiently and will not wear out or get holes. An added benefit of the heavier inside netting is the ball is returned with more force.
