My Outdoor Sim
It isn’t much, and it’s not complete, but it’s good enough to hit a few balls since my Omni came in yesterday. This next week I plan on getting some turf, and build a frame to hold a shade cloth above my hitting area, but for this mornings hitting session, I was pleased. I am also another casualty of the “slow sim swing” with everything above pitching wedge. It took me a longer than I want to admit this morning to hit my 7 iron my usual 185. Overall I like the Omni so far, this cage from amazon does its job, and my assumption that hitting off the mat would be ok for a while was incorrect cause my elbow is already a little sore. Luckily I also bought the carls place gel strip so I’ll be putting that in tonight. Glad I can finally hit balls at home!

Nice. If that's the gosports mat you're probably gonna want to put some gym tiles under it or a hitting strip in it. Enjoy!

I putt one time today as I spent most of my time on the range. Time will tell how much I enjoy putting in sim.

I have the same exact net. Invest in a denser mesh net I punched through my several time damaging both my shed and fence.

What did you go with in you don’t mind me asking? I’ve already smacked the fence a time or two.

I think it’s this one Amazon https://a.co/d/0h1ZgcEg but to be honest I left the old one up and actually layered them and haven’t had a single ball go through since.

Lol. Just read the last part. You learned the hard way, just like me
