The Net Return Home Series vs SIGPRO Golf Net

The Quick Verdict

The Net Return Home Series is the one to get. It's $295.01 more at list but comes with a 225 mph ball-speed rating, a 3-year warranty, and an automatic ball return built in. The SIGPRO Golf Net is the pick if you're watching the budget closely or if your space runs shorter front-to-back: it lists at $399.99, includes side barriers in the base price, and needs 12 ft of depth versus the Home Series's 14 ft.

What They Have in Common

Both are freestanding golf nets for indoor or outdoor use, both require an 8 ft ceiling, and both publish the room they need. Neither includes a folded-storage size in its published specs.

Where They Differ

Price and What's in the Box

The SIGPRO Golf Net lists at $399.99. The Net Return Home Series lists at $695. That's a $295.01 gap at list — and what you're comparing isn't quite the same bundle. The SIGPRO base price includes side barrier netting and sandbags plus 4-inch ball bungees. The Net Return base is net and frame only; side barriers are a separate $249 purchase. If you're pricing out a complete setup with side barriers, that gap narrows considerably.

The SIGPRO also has an upgrade path worth knowing about: a Top Bar Attachment and impact screen can be added for $249.99, converting it into a simulator screen. The Home Series doesn't offer that conversion.

Room and Footprint

Both makers publish their room requirements, though The Net Return marks its figures as approximate. The Net Return Home Series needs 9 ft of width, an 8 ft ceiling, and 14 ft of depth. The SIGPRO Golf Net needs 10 ft of width, an 8 ft ceiling, and 12 ft of depth. Same ceiling, but the SIGPRO asks for a foot more width and the Home Series asks for two more feet of depth. That 14 ft depth requirement on the Home Series is the number to measure first — a lot of garages are tighter front-to-back than people expect once you account for a vehicle, a workbench, or a bag stand.

The frames are a different story. The Home Series frame is 7 ft wide × 7 ft tall × 3 ft 6 in deep. The SIGPRO frame is wider, taller, and deeper: 9 ft × 7 ft 7 in × 10 ft. One note on the SIGPRO: The Indoor Golf Shop publishes two sets of dimensions — 9 ft × 7'7" × 10 ft for the net and 8.5 ft × 7 ft × 9 ft for the frame — and those don't fully reconcile.

Ball-Speed Rating and Warranty

The Net Return Home Series carries a published 225 mph ball-speed rating on the netting. The Indoor Golf Shop doesn't publish a ball-speed rating for the SIGPRO. That's a meaningful difference if you're hitting driver regularly — not because a higher rating guarantees more durability, but because having a published rating gives you something concrete to reference. The Home Series also carries a 3-year warranty (or 250,000 shots, whichever comes first); the SIGPRO has a 1-year warranty on net and screen.

Setup

The Net Return Home Series assembles without tools in about 5 minutes, with color-coded connectors on the frame. The Indoor Golf Shop doesn't publish a setup time for the SIGPRO.

Who Should Buy Which

Get the Net Return Home Series if:

• Your space is at least 9 ft wide and 14 ft deep — two more feet of depth than the SIGPRO asks for
• You want automatic ball return and don't want to think about it as an add-on
• You're planning to hit a lot of balls and want the published warranty coverage to match
• Side barriers matter but you're adding them as a deliberate upgrade rather than expecting them in the box

Get the SIGPRO Golf Net if:

• Your room runs closer to 12 ft deep than 14 ft, which is what rules the Home Series out
• Budget is a real constraint and $399.99 is where you need to land for a complete-enough setup with barriers included
• You're thinking ahead to a simulator screen and want a single net that can grow into that role without buying a different frame

The Bottom Line

Both nets publish their room requirements, which is the first thing to check. The SIGPRO Golf Net is the more affordable entry, ships with side barriers and sandbags already included, and leaves a door open to a simulator screen later. The Home Series lists higher, but it brings a rated netting speed, a longer warranty, and a genuine ball return in the base price. My read is that most buyers building a first hitting bay will get more long-term value out of the Home Series — the warranty structure and ball return are features you'd end up paying for anyway. Measure your depth first.
