Can you use real golfballs on this net, or is it made for special practice ones?

From the discriptions by others it's not designed for real balls, however one fella strengthened his with a few yards of stonger netting. If you never miss the baffle with real balls, shouldn't be a problem.

The Callaway Tri-Ball Hitting Nets are designed to support REAL golf balls.

Real ball are not a problem if you the target cloth provided with the net. I doesn't really protect against a shank so I used "Birdie Balls"and "Almost Balls". You might be a better player so no need to worry but I heard even pros shank a shot ever so often when they working on a new shot or idea in practice.

I'm not sure what the difference is for "official" regulation volleyballs vs normal ones but this is a Wilson official game ball. (And it doesn't just say Wilson printed on it, it actually is a real volleyball.) However I have read some other reviews that say the ball deflates sooner than normal volleyballs so you may run into that issue even sooner by actually playing with it but since I've never personally used it as an actual volleyball I can't say if this is the case. Either way though I would not hesitate to use this in a volleyball game both indoors and out.

My kids use it for football (baseball too) and it works well but best if you hit the tighter woven area in the middle. If you are looking for something purely for football or baseball for that matter, I would buy a different net with tighter weaving but this one is good for multi-use

Yes a standard ball can fit in the net with ease. It was a great buy, I know you will be happy with this product...

It worked well with a softball/baseball. Have to order another one because it broke but I thinks it's more dup to user error than the actual net.

My grandson for whom we bought the pitch back net just happens to be visiting. He loves it for lacrosse, but does not think it would work for batting practice. I think he is a reliable source. : )

We bought the light, white plastic balls that are advertised but tennis would prob work. If you don't have netting though, the heavier the ball the farther into the neighbors yard it will go and more damage it could do. Just saying.

Its a step up from beginners ' cuz it is a reaction ball, but then u have the more expensive balls.. I would say its for experienced players

If you wanted to use it for that, yes you can. It is an actual Wilson brand volleyball. It just has a red face painting on it.

Absolutely. In fact, you'll only need one ball. This is the best net I have ever come across. Love mine. Used it every day for months before winter arrived (I don't have space indoors for it) and it shows absolutely no signs of wear and tear. Trust me, I pounded a golf ball into this thing for hours on end. It is just a quality product, and is as advertised. Definitely purchase the mat that goes with it too.

Absolutely. It was made for real golf balls. All others are just a bonus. It's high grade and virtually indestructable.

I doubt it'd handle real pucks. It's not an ice hockey net. I'd say the 'green biscuit' street hockey pucks might even be too heavy. We're using the lighter orange plastic pucks and street hockey balls.

Hi, you can but they are not too big and they are plastic. The nets are not very sturdy for shooting regular pucks. Also the players would not be able to play on their knees as they would inside with 'knee hockey'. Hope this helps.

Don't see why not. It's not so much a game enhancer for the kids as it is a boon for the kids' parents. I bought it to protect the kids and my flowerbeds, since it directs the ball coming out of the net, so the ball doesn't crush your landscaping and helps keep little kids from chasing the ball into the street.

yes, should work fine outdoors with a net; i use it inside, though, with wiffle golf balls.

Unfortunately they probably won't work well. We have tried the foam rubber golf balls and they fly erratically and not realistic.. just not enough density to get a true flight. HOWEVER, we do mix them (foam rubber golf balls) in with the regular balls for the purpose of simulating bad pitches, that way the boys don't get too comfortable with the rhythm and start taking their eye off of the ball. We did have a problem with losing the balls because they really fly off of the bat.. so I built a cage using conduit and fish netting.
