I'm not sure where to start this review, but I think I'm going to start it with the build. In essence the bill took me about 30 minutes to do, I think with a little more practice I could probably not sometime off of it but I did build this by myself and it is similar to putting up a tent on your own. It's the type of thing that wants its up I'm not sure you're going to want to take it down immediately if you plan on using it on a regular basis. Not terribly hard, the poles came together pretty easily as they had a cord on the inside to help keep the pipes together. Putting the poles through the holes in the netting to make the arch, likely takes the longest amount of time as it's not necessarily the easiest thing to push through. I think for those who have trouble with fine motor skills, this will likely be more difficult. Once you have the tent portion up, putting the stakes into the ground I found to be very easy, that may have to do with the soil, but in general really easy. The Target also not hard to put up as it's pretty self-explanatory. It does sit towards the back of the nut so there's really not a lot of room for error has even if you hit the holes it's likely to bounce back.
As for quality, I think if you use it as intended, this will hold up rather well. There was one swing I had where I was a little too close to the tent and I hit it on the follow through, there was no issues I experienced. I do question if you were to use a real golf ball if the Integrity would hold up. I tend to think you're likely to put a ball through either The netting or the backing as it does not appear that this would withstand a golf ball. If you use the practice foam balls, or email practice wiffle ball, I think you will be very happy with the results.
As for the pad that you can choose to hit off of, it is the same quality that you would find at an indoor golf range. I like that there's three different styles of grass on it and I think it is quality.
You also see from the photos I laid out all of the items that came with the packaging.
I think depending on your height and who's utilizing this, it certainly can be used indoors if you put some weights down on it and have high ceilings. If you plan to use this outdoors, it likely will be great, but I wouldn't question how well it will hold up if you leave it standing over a period of time outdoors. It certainly will not hold up in a windstorm. I think for someone who's looking to just practice a few times swinging the club, they're likely to be pretty satisfied. By no means with this replace going to the driving range as you won't be able to see how the ball is moving over distance, but if you're looking to get reps in and practice your swing, this really works well. I think the next question might be is this necessary and it's probably not a necessary item, but it certainly does help with the recovery of the foam balls by having a back and that you can hit into. The balls are definitely held and it's nice that you don't have to go to a driving range in order to swing the club with ease.
If the 30-minute setup time will bother you, I would tell you this is probably not the right item for you but it's certainly does live up to expectations as far as how it performs. Again if you were to put it on the inside and you have ceilings that would allow for your follow through and swing, dis would be a great indoor activity, but the key is to have high ceilings.
