Bow Net Big Mouth Feed Back

What's on your mind?

by jrcjr » Thu Sep 01, 2011 7:16 am

Just received the BNBM for my DD. Net is nice and big and we like the way it holds up when hit into. Set up and take down is a snap. Only thing I'm concerned about is the netting it's self. Seems a little on the, hate to use the word, "flimsy" compared to the old Jugs net we used to have. Just worndering if anyone here has one and if they have had any issues with the netting it's self. Thanks.

I ve been wanting to get one. hopefully will get one this fall. its a really nice net. but at $139.00 thats probably why. if this Hit net has a better quality net (material) ?, it will cost at least &179.00 You get what you pay for. thats just my opinion, and my opinion means absolutely nothing. Thank you

1 full year in using 2 bownets 2 to 3 times a week. 1 small hole lower corner metal spikes
and girls being girls sometimes create a problem. :D great net wont buy anything else on Todays market. The main reason I purchased this net is they sell replacement netting with out buying the whole thing.

Bought one for our High school team, it had a hole in it after 6 games. Too bad, I really like the design.

We have one for our daughter, she uses it all the time. It is easy to set up and big. My only wish was that I got her the big mouth one, the regular one the balls bounce off of. So we will at some time spend some money for the just the big mouth net to replace what we have, which we don't mind doing, because the net was a gift. :D

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.
