I have been toying with the idea of setting up a hitting net / cage within the compound of my house for a while now.

A kaki of mine fashioned a net / curtain in his verandah. So he would pull the net across his diy curtain railing, take out his small carpet mat and whack. Not as tidy though. I have also looked at hitting nets (with stands) available online but a decent one (including shipping) will cost upwards of RM500.00 Ouch!

Would love to hear feedback from other members or from those who have set up their own hitting net / cage at home.

You could do like what those golf shops or retailers did in the olden days before trackman and all the other advanced technological gizmos came in.
Get a suitably sized piece of heavy canvas like those they use in lorries and make a cage thing with sturdy metal frames and hit all you want.
Many many moons ago I was staying in a shop above my office and used paper cartons lined against the wall and whacked balls into them - don't shank or hook can be quite messy.

Yes, also considered the canvas with metal frames option. Will explore further all options. Don't think my family would be too impressed though

Bro, why don't go all the way. Set up a golf simulator with projector TV, flight scope (or the like) etc... Just don't forget to invite me to try after setting up.

Bro the cost for such a set up involves too many zeroes hahaha Although I was having a serious look at the Dancing Dogg Optishot 2 simulator which is available on ebay for RM1.5k - RM2k. Manyak mahal!

Add on the net...pc...projector.. and I think I will be having 'golf ball' soup for a while.

Says here, http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2014/01/flightscope-xi-offers-a-portab.html that the budget model Flight Scope can be yours for a cool $2,500.00

Whereas this, http://www.precisionsportssim.com/products_trugolf_technique_professional.htm beauty of a simulator will only cost $12,995.00 oh how I wish...

Get friends come and hit charge them 10 sen per ball.
