Juggs or Bownet

Bownet. They can be set up on all surfaces including concrete because they do not require stakes.

I have two Bow Net pros (bigger and stronger than standard Bow Net). We can run 2 stations at once on each but when we switch fields we pick them up and carry them (try that w/ hurricane). This allows us to hit out side the dugout for players to stay loose. I had to stake down our Bow Net once in 35+ mph winds. I will never buy another net :!: :!:

Regular Bow NeT about $130.00 ish

Bow net Pro I've seen for $200.oo

Maybe I missed it but I did not see any bownet pro. How much bigger and stronger when compare to the regular bownet? Thanks

The net itself is 8' x 8'. The hardware and netting is very thick and sturdy. I guess the manufacturer makes them for Diamond sports and so there not sold directly by Bow net....

Here is a link to one

going to order the bow net. I just need to know if I should get the pro or the regular one. The pro goes for 200.00 and the regular is under 140.00 on some website. The difference is the pro bow net is 8x8 and heavy netting. I need feed back on the regular one. Has any one busted a bow net screen?

I ended up getting the bownet bigmouth and was able to set it up in a few minutes in my house. I admit I had to watch the online video to figure out what the bottom loops attached to. All in all, I paid $131 that included shipping and tax and it only took 2 days ground. Softballsales.com had a $25 off of $99 in purchases through the weekend. It looks sturdy and I will have my girls try it out this weekend.

The one on the left is the 7x7 bownet and the other is 8x8 bownet. As you can see the bigger poles and stronger netting.
