Volleyball players? i need advice on buying a net

[iamme]

this is for an indoor court. we have the upright poles, but the net was recently misplaced. does anyone have knowledge on buying a replacement net?

i've found a rather wide range of nets:

Get the Tachikara net.

I play VB. I know about volleyballs but not nets. I just put the same one up each time. Never bothered to look at the manufacturer.

any particular reason?

I play also, but I don't know about the hardware 😛

Try to find one without holes in it. If you're buying new, you should expect new condition!

Holy crap, $260? Why is that, exactly?

that's what i'm wondering. if the cheaper nets are prone to wearing down sooner, it may be worth spending extra bucks on it.

I agree. Don't skimp on the net - it makes for a terrible volleyball game.

done. You never saw it coming.

But seriously...don't skimp on the net. You can have the best court in the universe but with a crappy net the game sucks. Look for heavy duty on the top and bottom as well as the netting, antenna are useful as well. If you can't toss a ball off the net and have it playable it sucks.
