Driving release practice?

[Drakeab]

Has anyone out there come up with a way to practice releases on driving without a field? I'm thinking of possibly a net about 15 or 20 feet away - just far enough to see if the disc comes out clean. I'm working on drives with a putter and want to get rid of my oat but want to be able to do it from home rather than driving to a field.

Any ideas out there?

Hang a heavy sheet (or two) in your basement/garage. Go nuts.

I watched a blanket take a hundred or more consecutive attempts to set a high score on the radar gun with discs. It never came close to breaking.

I set up a net using PVC pipe and a soccer net (10 x 25). It is 8 feet high (10 feet 1 1/2" PVC with 2 feet of it slid into 2" PVC sleeve in the ground and then 10 feet across using 90 degree elbows and more pipe. I doubled over the soccer net and draped over the top. I used nylon rope to kind of weave the net around the pipe to hold it in place. The soccer net was $20 online and the PVC from the local HD about $12. This worked good until I grip locked one and sent it down a few houses to the right. So I put up an identical net on the right. It works great for practicing drives and I can place my practice basket in there so I don't have to go looking through the bushes for missed putts.

Best I found was throwing in a batting cage, which most ball fields have. It's long enough you can get a feel for the disc's flight and short enough to quickly retrieve your discs.

Second the Batting cage. We have one right next to the first tee at a local course and its always fun to warm the arm up and adjust before starting the round

I have an old comforter in the basement I throw into some. it is just hanging on a clothes line.

If you got a tarp and some cord around the house and two things you can hang it between, I think that would work beautifully for this.

Something like that would be great. I am sure it would be cheaper to build your own based on other suggestions but if you have the money that is probably the way to go

I use a golf practice net. It was $35

I bought this from Dicks for $35 and built a frame out of PVC...
