In my 10 years coaching tb, i have used just about every imaginable net (i.e. Jugs, Hurricane, others, etc.). Two years ago I purchased two BowNet BigMouth nets. They are, by far, the best travel net I have ever used...period. The two nets i purchased have made it through two summer and one fall season so far and every practice in between. We have used these nets 4 days a week on average. And of course, at tourneys, they have been used multiple times on those days. I have not had any holes/tears on the netting itself. However, the elastic bands that loop around the bottom supports have worn through; we just replaced them with our own bands. The only other issue has been the carrying bags; we have worn holes in the bottom corners of each of bag. But these bags are fast and easy to set up and take down. And anybody can figure out set up/take down! Which hasn't always been true with some of the other nets. The other benefit is you can set them anywhere, outdoors or indoors, and no stakes needed. For my money, these nets are the only nets worth buying. In fact, I just purchased two more.
