Basketball nets, not the most glamorous basketball accessory, but they obvious have an essential role in the game of basketball. Just think about it for a minute; what would the game of basketball be like without a basketball goal net? Well I would hate to be the player(s) in the paint, even worse, directly under the rim when those rocket balls, keep flying in, and say goodbye to the swish.

As you know the purpose of the basketball net is to slow down the speed of the basketball as it goes through the rim, and secondly it’s an accurate way to confirm the ball went through the rim for a score. Most common or popular basketball nets are basically designed the same but some are weighted differently in terms of “Grams”, and others have different materials, such as metal, rubber and vinyl coatings.
