Does this net have less give in it than the Bownet Soft toss net?

Yes. Works great for my practices. Fits in the same bag and uses the same poles. Much easier to transport than my larger heavy duty screen. I recommend it.

If you are asking if it is tight and will protect you, the answer is yes. the bigmouth net has a pocket and is pretty loose. I use this when throwing to my sons, 15 and 21 to protect myself. Line drives back at me are not a problem anymore. Won't throw to them without it. I actually have two big mouth systems and this net. When throwing I put one of the

Yes because it's narrower which gives it a little more spring. It's best used as a protective net for pitching and drills. If using for soft toss, the BowNet Soft toss net is a better choice (wider and less spring with BowNet Big Mouth and the Jugs Travel and Instant screens working best if you want to deaden and collect balls for soft toss

No, this net does not have less give than the soft toss net. It still has some give so you do not want to be directly behind it when throwing pitches. I recommend standing at least another foot away.
1632626
It does have more tension than the big mouth soft toss net- enough to protect from come-backers. I use it all the time and would recommend it for the price.
1632627
The I-Screen has less give than the soft toss, however, in my opinion I would not recommend as a pitching screen for youth players older than 12U. It does flex about 6 inches on a solid line drive which.

Really it is about the same--b/c uses same poles. Net seems little 'tighter' on the poles b/c it doesn't have the strike zone cutout in middle.
1632629
This net is more for protection when doing pitching, or running a machine, it is not good for Soft toss, as you must already have a frame for the net.

Yes they are pretty nice... As a travel coach and professional instructor I use it all the time.

I noticed the same thing, I have found that maybe 1 in 10 stays in the net. I thought about removing the target but I don't want to wear through the net, I might place a board across front of net to hold the balls in net area.

They are much thicker than regular netting and holes smaller. I have had no problems.

I have only been using it for a couple of months. The way it's constructed it appears that it will hold up well under heavy use. You are hitting into a net not a canvas that will ware. It's easy to set-up and take down. I'm not familiar with other nets but satisfied with this one.Hope I helped - Good Luck.

I'd say it does about 95% of the time. Depending on the club, the ball can sometimes catch on the bottom of the net (higher lofted clubs that produce more spin tend to hit the top of the net and roll down getting caught). Additionally, the ball can sometimes return to you at an angle depending on where you hit the net. Balls hit to the right side will return more to your left. All that said, I've been very happy with the ball being returned to me. It happens way more often than the ball not being returned.

This is probably the lightest net ever . I have it over my bed , and it was easy to put up. I live in an older house so the ceilings and walls aren't too good but this net isn't heavy at all. I love it.

Not quite sure on your questions. I CAN tell you this is a great quality net with nice, strong bungies.
2087195
Absolutely. In fact, you'll only need one ball. This is the best net I have ever come across. Love mine. Used it every day for months before winter arrived (I don't have space indoors for it) and it shows absolutely no signs of wear and tear. Trust me, I pounded a golf ball into this thing for hours on end. It is just a quality product, and is as advertised. Definitely purchase the mat that goes with it too.

Yes. And it's more fabric-like and drapes easily (as well as folds easily for storage at the end of the season). We've had ours for 3 seasons so far and it is still good as new. I really like this netting unlike the one I had previously, which was the typical annoying black plastic 1/2" x 1/2" netting that catches everything from birds to your shoelaces and was impossible to fold up and put away at the end of the season.

My swing is only around 90 mph, if I miss the Callaway target nothing exciting happens. I don't think it would be a good idea to depend soley on the net. The more expensive nets have bigger, better target material to stop the ball before it gets to the net material.
663826
Yes this is just the net. You need the traditional frame of the bow net in order to use the net.
1457806
yes, at least with the softball package we got there is room to do that but the tension can not be so loose that the ball hangs loosely and takes away from the experience of hitting a ball in a fixed position. There is nothing magic about it hitting the net and it will give him incentive to hit harder...

I'm sure a couple will squeak through, however, if they hit them into the center the net is draped and will likely fall instead of going through. I wouldn't let that decide the purchase of the net. I have used this net at practices 3-4 times a week for soft toss and tee practice for 13u for about a year and a half. Bownet is legit. Quick up, quick down. Solid durability.

I believe mine did when it came but I note that the current description does not indicate there is one. However, I live in Ohio, and the last thing I want to do is put a hole in my court. So, I discarded my center net strap and have never used a center net strap with any of my nets. I will add that this net has held up very well through ice, snow, high winds, and birds that try to use the string to build nests (as well as mice that try to build nests in it in the winter). Again, living in Ohio, even if you take the net down at the end of October and put it up in the middle of April, you can still deal with snow and ice. My net still looks like new, which given the price is amazing.

I think it does, it is not a flimsy netting. Feels like there is some kind of coating on it.

bow it down? box is much better to ship because this net set has lots of parts. net is very weak. i would buy extra net for the future. i returned my net for new one.

No. the net comes with little hooks that hang onto the holders. The hooks are too small to hang onto the iron rim itself.
