GoSports Elite Shank Net Golf Accessory - Extra Side Protection

In this review of the GoSports Elite Shank Net Golf Accessory the bottom line is simple: this add-on is for golfers using GoSports ELITE Golf Hitting Nets or GoSports Simulator Enclosure Nets who want a fast, reliable way to catch sideways shanks and protect their space. The reviewer found the screen to be the single biggest improvement to at-home practice safety because it adds a secondary barrier that intercepts hosel rockets without interfering with normal shots. Installation was quick and the included sand bag keeps the screen steady during powerful swings.

Key Features

• Secondary shank protection: Provides a dedicated side net that captures errant sideways shots, reducing risk to windows and garage walls.
• Easy attachment: Hook and loop material lets the screen attach in seconds to compatible GoSports ELITE nets for tool-free setup.
• Heavy-duty netting: The material is substantially thicker than standard nets, so it stands up to high ball speeds and repeated impacts.
• Includes sand bag: A sand bag anchor comes with the screen to hold it in place on indoor or outdoor surfaces for stable practice sessions.
• Left or right handed: The screen can be mounted on either side of the main net to suit both left- and right-handed golfers.

Who It's For

The Elite Shank Net is aimed at home golfers and simulator users who already own a GoSports ELITE Golf Hitting Net or a GoSports Simulator Enclosure Net and need extra side protection. It is particularly useful for families practicing in garages or basements where a single missed shank could cause costly damage.

It is not intended for owners of other brands or net styles, since the hook and loop attachment is designed specifically for GoSports ELITE systems. If a buyer needs full protection on both sides at once, they should plan to purchase two screens.

Pros & Cons
