Izzo Big Daddy Golf Net Instructions
By Kate Evelyn
The Izzo Big Daddy Golf Net is a good tool to have if you want to practice your drives but you don't want to worry about where your ball ends up. This 7-foot by 7-foot net is designed to catch anything you can hit at it, even at top speed. The toughest part of using the Big Daddy Golf Net may be setting it up.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Find the metal frame, which looks similar to a tent pole. It will consist of two rods that are folded so they can fit in the box. Reassemble them by inserting each of the six rounded fiberglass tips into the metal sleeve next to it.
Find the net and open it up so that it looks like a large oval. Lay it flat on the ground so that the sleeve at the top of the oval is furthest away from you. Take the rod with the green fiberglass tips and push it through the sleeve, going from left to right. The whole rod should fit exactly, making an upside-down horseshoe over the top of the net.
Take the second rod, which has black fiberglass tips, and insert one end of it into each end of the first rod. You will have to bend the rod to do so. It will form the bottom of the oval-shaped net frame. Note that there is no sleeve on this half of the net.
Check that the connectors on the rods are in the right places. These are small green, white and black clips. The green clips should be at 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock, the white at 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock and the black at 5:30 and 6:30.
Look at the ends of the net cords and find the clips that correspond to the connectors. There will be two white, two black and two green. Attach one white cord clip to each white connector. Do the same for the two additional colors. Use the Velcro on the bottom of the net bag (the pouch that extends out toward you) to attach it to the rod underneath the net.
Tips & Warnings
Put a heavy weight on the weight bag, which is a nylon bag attached to the back of the net near the base. This will prevent the net from tipping over when you hit it with the ball.
Follow these steps in reverse to take down your net. Do not store it while it is assembled to help prevent the net from getting snagged.
