Thoughs on comparison of 6ft Champro or the 6ft Golme goals. Circular vs. rectangle? U5 now but want them to last. Looking for any feedback?

These Golme goals are not six feet. They are the smaller pop up type of goals. Doubt you'd want to be carting around 6 ft goals in your car. These have held up well for my u10 team.

I have the 4 ft Golme goals and I love them! I coach a U6 team and use them in my backyard often. The kids hang on them and they are holding up very well! They are rounded which is less goal area but they pretty much dribble the ball into goal or "pass" it in so the top corners aren't necessary. Good luck!

B6-4 or B4-4 are fine in the city. A C6-5 goes pretty darned high so I'd recommend a field for that and low wind conditions.

It is made for a square pole and my guess is your portable goal has a round pole. Further, it would make your goal very top heavy especially in the wind so I would not recommend it due to it being unsafe.

I never tried it, but these are great little cones for kids to use as goal markers when practicing soccer. My granddaughters, ages 6 and 12, LOVE to use them for all sorts of things when the come to our house. They are not heavy weight cones, but are just GREAT for the kids. It was a really good buy for the price. From the other replies I have some new ideas for my grandkids!

I agree...they don't seem to be in all the way but the goal is working perfectly. Our grandchild loves it!

not this model, it's for a short action. you want a long action. try academy sports.

No, it should work with most other brand goals as long as it is the correct size. (We have a Franklin goal.) The side panels attach with small bungee cords, so as long as you can get them around the posts on the goal you should be ok. The top panel laces on so there is no issue here.

Honestly, it could be a different model. I looked at Gorrilla Basketball goals at Dick's Sporting Goods and I know their black Friday specials had a special black Friday only model that included a 6" goal post as opposed to the normal 9" goal post. Other than that you wouldn't have known the difference. As I am somewhat interested in this item, I looked on the total gym website. Unfortunately I could not find a model number so it is not possible to tell definitively. However, both websites use the same dimensions and user weight restrictions, so I would lean towards them being the same model. Honestly, it could be a different model.

I would get the 12by 6 if space permits. I bought 2 of the 8 by 6 for my 8 & 5 year old grandsons but as they grow I will replace with the larger goals..Tom D

For teams we always recommend training with the same size goal you play with during matches. It will increase both situational awareness and player confidence which results in better finishing skills (more goals). If a team is on the cusp between two sizes we agree with the answers here; choose the larger size.

definetly an intuos product than graphire or bamboo. 6x8 should be fine and i would highly suggest getting the special edition available on amazon. Some people argued that 6x11 was far better than 6x8 for some reason. Since intuos special edition 6x8 and 6x11 costs the same on amazon ($369), perhaps it would be better to get the 6x11. but that's up to you Summary: 6x8 = for easier portability and ideal for limited desk space 6x11= more accuracy when drawing circles (according to many 6x11 reviews), wider surface to trace art work on, but takes a chunk out of desk space. smaller than 6x8 just don't cut it for professionals, bigger than 6x8 maybe just too big unless you have the desk space to accomodate it. hope this helps!

It depends on your skill level. I have a few different sizes and like utilizing different sizes for different techniques or various drills to develope different attributes. Bigger bags are slower and are better for burning out the shoulders. Smaller bags require more finesse and more speed, but might not give you the same type of workout. I like to start small and as I start to fatigue I switch to a larger bag to finish out my shoulders. I also prefer rubber bladders over vinyl. They're more durable and retain air pressure better in the cold. Less refilling them, but they're heavier. Which you don't want in your faster bags. Just my thoughts on it. My absolute favorites are the title bags, the red classic and the yellow. I have a couple everlasts and they're good but I love the red classic, I think I went with the five, but I'll spend 7 hours or so out in the garage hitting on a good night. Anyway I hope this helps.

My grandchildren are ages 7 (athletic girl) and 3 (active boy) Their parents report the goals work very well and are easy to set up and store away.I bought the mid-range size, in hopes the goals would get at least a few seasons of use. This is only the first summer, but they seem to be holding up well.

I only have the 6x6, and think it very adequate for my needs. I hardly play golf and when I do I don't keep score. Seems to make my round a lot happier. I would perhaps count the number of 'good' shots as the best way to measure progress. That aside, this net is just fine for me. I usually hit around 45 balls a day into it, say 5 times a week. I've missed the net 5 times that I can remember. It's great. One of the things I got with it is the PGM3660 3' x 5' Emerald Par Golf Mat. It is very good and very substantial. So I'd recomment the smaller net, and if you start splaying shots wildly, move closer. Just a thought. Jim I only have the 6x6, and think it very adequate for my needs.

We have had it all summer. It has held up well. My boys (13 & 16) plus friends have been playing soccer or practicing goal kicks. So far we have no bends. The wind did tip it over once, but it has held up fine all summer. We only got the goal in April of this year.

Hi there. Check with your coach or google it. My son has to use a 3... He is 5, on a U6 soccer team. I am sure there is a table out there somewhere to let you know what size you need for what age. Best of luck!!

Get 6.5. It can always be cut down. Also make sure you get the right width.
