Brute Basketball Net

This is a really good net for 4 bucks man. I've been making it rain for a month now and the net still looks brand new. It is definitely going to hold on for a long time. The only thing that sucks is that it thick as hell making the installation tough. Get some pliers to make it an easy install

Good quality replacement net at a great price.

So, I purchased this net for a different use than most of you likely will. I go canoeing a lot, and it's not feasible to haul an anchor around when portaging along with all of my other gear (fishing gear, food, beverages, etc). Instead, I used some plastic zip ties to tie one end of the net together to form a mesh bag of sorts, and I put rocks in the net to use it as an anchor along with some light rope while I'm fishing. I specifically purchased this net because some of the reviews said that it was a nice heavy and durable material, and they weren't wrong. Since my net drags on the bottom of lakes full of 15+ pounds of rocks while I'm fishing, it needs to be durable and this one has delivered thus far. At $5, the price was right too. If it can survive rocks and the bottom of lakes, I'm sure it will hold up nicely for its intended purpose as well.

I like this net. It is a nice heavy weight. It was delivered quickly. It is heavy duty and anti-whip. It meets or exceeds every descriptor on the item page. My only complaint with the net is that it is so thick that it is actually hard to install. I had to work at tugging and pulling to get this net attached to the rim. That means it will also be difficult to uninstall should I need to uninstall it for any reason (and not want to cut it down). This net seems as if it will last a good long time, so I think it was worth the struggle. If you are not strong and you plan to purchase this net as a replacement for a standard hoop from a big box store store, be sure to find a strong friend to install it for you.

Does the job

Very hardy. As others have said hard to put on, but the kids love it. I have the neighborhood hoop in front of my house, we live on a court so it has been well used for decades. Now people have their grandkids using it. The neighbors have been great on replacing the nets,but they always rip and shred, so we tried this one and it seems to be much more hearty. We also like that the net is longer so it does not flip up and get tangled

I think this was the cheapest option. One of the cheapest anyway. And it's perfectly great. Seems like it will stand up to the elements. And it makes a perfect swooshing sound when I nail a 3-pointer. Well, when my son nails a 3-pointer.

Heavy-Duty might be debatable. If you have this at your home, maybe it's heavy duty. If you buy six of these for your basketball facility that sees use for 16 hours a day, that might not be the case. These definitely aren't the most durable nets. I had to replace them in my high-use facility every month or two. The problem is, they can't handle anyone hanging on them at all. With regular use they last the two months. I tracked it for my budget. They have a nice swoosh when they're first installed, but they do have some whip. They might be anti-whip, but they're not zero-whip. They're relatively cheap, so you get what you pay for, but I wish they were labeled a little bit clearer.
