3/4 vs 1 Inch Golf Net: Is the 1/4" Difference Worth It?
If you’re shopping for a golf net, you’ll see two numbers everywhere: 1-inch (25mm) and 3/4-inch (20mm).
On a screen, a quarter-inch seems like nothing. In the real world, when a golf ball is screaming toward your property at 150 mph, that quarter-inch is the difference between a successful practice and a $1,000 repair bill.
At Morelux, we don't build based on market trends; we build based on physics. Here is the cold, hard math of why we engineered the Morelux Safe Zone.
1. The "Quarter" Test: A Simple Reality Check
The easiest way to understand mesh size isn't through a ruler—it's through the change in your pocket.
- The Market Standard (1-inch): A standard 1-inch mesh hole is actually larger than a U.S. Quarter. It is a loose weave designed to save on manufacturing costs. Under the violent impact of a driver shot, these gaps can stretch even wider, increasing the risk of "escapes."
- The Morelux Standard (3/4-inch): Our 20mm mesh is significantly smaller than a U.S. Quarter. It’s a dense, precision-engineered grid that stays closed, ensuring that no ball—no matter the velocity—ever finds a way through.
2. The 10x10ft Breakdown: Over 800 Feet of Hidden Protection
To understand the "Heavy-Duty" label, you have to look at the raw material. Let's compare a standard 10ft x 10ft net with a Morelux 10x10ft net:
| Feature | Standard 1-inch (25mm) Net | Morelux 3/4-inch (20mm) Net |
|---|---|---|
| Total Rope Used | Approx. 2,400 feet | Approx. 3,200 feet |
| Grid Density | 14,400 mesh holes | 25,600 mesh holes |
| Physical Barrier | 1.0x (Baseline) | 1.44x (The Morelux Shield) |
Technical Note: The above calculations are based on geometric center-to-center measurements. The physical thickness of the 3.0mm high-impact rope is not factored into these density percentages. Including the rope's volume would further increase the solid barrier ratio and impact resistance of the Morelux Shield.
The Result: In every Morelux 10x10ft net, you are getting 800 feet of EXTRA high-impact rope. To visualize that, 800 feet is the length of nearly 2.5 American Football fields laid end-to-end.
We pack 33% more physical material into the exact same 100-square-foot space. You aren't just buying a net; you are buying a 3,200-foot fortress for your home.
3. Why "Density" Equals "Longevity"
Why does that extra material matter? It’s about Energy Distribution. When a ball hits a low-density 1-inch net, the energy is concentrated on fewer fibers. This leads to "fiber fatigue," where the net thins out and eventually snaps.
By increasing the density to 3/4-inch, Morelux creates over 25,600 intersections (knots) to share the load. We distribute the impact across over 75% more load-bearing points than the competition. This doesn't just stop the ball—it preserves the life of the net, ensuring your Heavy-Duty Sanctuary remains intact season after season.
The Morelux Verdict
We didn't choose 3/4" (20mm) because it was easier or cheaper to manufacture. We chose it because physics doesn’t have a budget. At Morelux, we manage your expectations by over-engineering our reality. If you take your game—and your property—seriously, choose the net that puts more material between you and the "what if."
Built Heavy. Built Honest.
